Some interesting facts you may like to know about which fruits are more 'powerful' than others:

Orange - High in vitamin C and contains lutein and zeaxanthin, which aids to fight against diseases.

Passionfruit, Apple & Pear - Ensure healthy bowels, passionfruit tops your apple and pear for that.

Banana - Packed with lots of potassium which fights a range of ills from osteoporosis, stroke, hypertension, kidney stones, fatigue and constipation.

I haven't had passion fruit. Humm, I need to change that. I love Mangoes. Thank you for listing what each fruit does for the body. Thank you for participating in Fitness for Moms Carnival.
