Sweetcorn

Easy to prepare, sweetcorn offers numerous health benefits thanks to its rich nutritional content, including antioxidants, potassium, lutein, zeaxanthin, vitamins B1 and C, and iron. This food also benefits eye health, prevents iron-deficiency anemia, and boosts the immune system.

Pineapple

Pineapple, juicy, tart, and slightly sweet, contains bromelain, an enzyme that aids digestion and reduces bloating. Eating fresh pineapple, adding it to salads, or blending it into smoothies offers health benefits. However, individuals with pineapple allergies, diabetes, oral health issues like mouth sores or stomach ulcers, and pregnant women (especially during the thu nhat 3 months) should consult a doctor before incorporating pineapple into their diet.

Mango

The vitamin C, folate, and fiber in mangoes strengthen the immune system, improve vision, support digestion, and enhance skin and hair health. You can enjoy mangoes as a dessert, combine them with yogurt, or blend them into smoothies.

Banana

Rich in potassium, bananas benefit cardiovascular health. Their natural sweetness satisfies cravings and aids in weight management. You can eat them individually or blend them with milk or yogurt for a creamy, energy-boosting drink.

Yellow bell pepper

Crisp and sweet, yellow bell peppers are packed with vitamin C and antioxidants, supporting overall health, protecting skin, and strengthening immunity. Ensure they are washed thoroughly, seeded, and then eaten raw or cooked. Choose fresh bell peppers from reputable sources.

Turmeric milk

Curcumin, the main active compound in turmeric, reduces inflammation, supports the immune system, and aids digestion. Enjoying warm turmeric milk in the evening provides a gentle, relaxing end to the day.
