Cardiovascular health
A study with over 460,000 participants found that a higher intake of fruit and vegetables reduced the risk of death from a cardiovascular disease¹. Citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruit are especially healthy for cardiovascular matters. The product range at Paradise Fruits includes a great variety of citrus fruits that are rich in vitamins and nutrients.
Iron
Iron is an essential mineral for our overall health. It transports oxygen around our bodies in the form of hemoglobin. Iron deficiency can thus lead to anemia and – in case of chronic deficiency – even to organ failure. Contrary to popular belief, fruits are a good source of iron. Fruits that are rich in iron include passion fruit, raspberries, and dried fruit such as apricots. Additionally, they contain a lot of vitamin C, which helps increasing the absorption of iron into the body.
Immune system
Fruits are good for the immune system. Most immune cells can be found in the human intestine. Healthy food choices ensure that sufficient micronutrients will get where they’re needed.⁶ Bananas contain a lot of vitamin B6, oranges, lemons and strawberries plenty of vitamin C, which are important to keep the immune system strong and healthy.

Eyesight
Even our eyesight benefits from a healthy dose of nutrients. Studies have long found that fruits rich in vitamins C and E can not only improve one’s eyesight but also help prevent age-related maculopathy and other diseases.⁴,⁵ While vitamin C is found in most fruits, vitamin E is especially present in mangos, kiwis, blackberries, and black currants.
