There is a fun way for women to have a healthy diet, that is by adding a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables in their daily diet.

Yes, from watermelon to pineapple, there are many foods that are proven to make women healthier. Reporting from Woman's Day page , Thursday, July 12 2018, the following are among them

Dates

This fruit is known to be rich in potassium, an important nutrient that plays a role in regulating blood pressure, said Penny Kris-Etherton, PhD, RDN, a professor of nutrition at Penn State University.

According to studies published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, dates also help cut triglyceride levels (blood fats associated with heart attacks and strokes).

Tip: Because dates contain high sugar, but low in the glycemic index, just consume two dates per day.

Pineapple and corn

One cup of pineapple contains more than 100 percent of the need for vitamin C. While in the same amount, corn contains lutein and zeaxanthin which keep thickened arteries that are the cause of heart disease.
