Some summer fruits are especially healthy.

What fruits and berries should you add to your diet in the summer

Watermelon is almost 100% water and is good for hot weather.

The fruit is rich in vitamins A and C. They are important for the health of the visual system, skin, nails and hair.

In addition, these vitamins support the functioning of the cardiovascular system, strengthen the immune system, and heal bones.

The lycopene and potassium in watermelon reduce inflammation, protect against heart disease, control blood pressure and relieve muscle spasms.

You can also add blueberries to your diet during the summer.

Berries contain antioxidants and vitamins that improve human cognitive function, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and maintain eye health and visual acuity.

You can also choose raspberries, gooseberries, melon, peaches, nectarines, apricots, strawberries and cherries.

Fruits and berries contain fiber, which helps maintain gut health and normal digestion, and reduces the risk of heart disease and high blood cholesterol.

Use only fresh or frozen fruits and berries. Processed food retains almost no vitamins and other beneficial substances.

You can add fresh fruit to yogurt, granola, or use it as a snack.
