Apples: Eating an apple a day can significantly reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. The quercetin in apples not only has anti-inflammatory effects but also prevents the development of cancer cells. Apples are also rich in vitamins and minerals, which can boost the immune system and improve cardiovascular function.

Fish: People who care about heart health should eat more fish. Having three fish dishes per week or 30 grams of fish daily can lower the risk of stroke by 50%. Medical research shows that Japanese and Eskimos, who frequently consume fish, have a much lower incidence of cardiovascular diseases compared to ethnic groups that rarely eat fish.

Garlic: Garlic not only helps prevent and treat colds but also reduces the risk of stomach and colon cancer while enhancing digestive function. Additionally, garlic effectively cleanses blood vessels, preventing blockages and effectively guarding against vascular diseases.

Strawberries: Eating plenty of strawberries can sufficiently replenish vitamin C. Strawberries are also rich in iron, which can boost the body's immune capabilities. The coloring agents and essential oils in strawberries can form special enzymes that help prevent cancer.

Carrots: Carrots are abundant in beta-carotene, which not only protects genetic structure and prevents cancer but also improves skin and enhances vision.

Bananas: Bananas are the fruit with the highest carbohydrate content and contain various trace elements that can prevent sugar from rapidly entering the bloodstream. They are also rich in magnesium; eating one banana can satisfy one-sixth of the human body’s magnesium needs for 24 hours.
