The Best Fruits to Eat Every Day

It’s one of the simplest dietary guidelines you’ll ever hear: eat more fruits and vegetables. And yet, it’s one of the hardest to follow. Not only are fruits and vegetables expensive, but it’s easy to get bored eating the same produce day after day. Today, we’re sharing the best fruits to eat every day. It doesn’t matter if you eat them alone or in combination with other foods, these fruits will make you feel great.

1. Grapes

Ah, sweet grapes. These little beauties are not only delicious, but they are also packed with nutritional goodness. Grapes are a good source of antioxidants, vitamin C and minerals like potassium. What's more, they are low in calories and easy to eat on the go. Enjoy them as part of a healthy breakfast, a quick snack or part of a fruit salad.

2. Watermelon

While watermelon is technically a fruit, it is a special type of fruit that is mostly composed of water. This makes it the perfect fruit to eat on a hot day – it will help you stay hydrated! But that's not all. Watermelon is also a great source of antioxidants, which can help protect your body from harmful free radicals. These antioxidants also play a role in preventing cancer and reducing the signs of aging. So, next time you are looking for a refreshing snack, reach for a slice of watermelon!

3. Strawberries

Strawberries are a great way to start your day. They're a good source of fiber and vitamin C, and they're low in calories. Plus, their sweet flavor is a great way to wake up your taste buds. Eat them on their own, add them to your breakfast cereal or oatmeal, or blend them into a smoothie. Tip: try freezing them and adding them to your morning smoothie for a frosty treat.

4. Grapefruit

Start your day off right with some grapefruit! This delicious citrus fruit is not only tasty but it's also packed with nutrients that are great for your skin and overall health. Grapefruit is a good source of vitamin C, which is important for collagen production and wound healing. It's also a natural source of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that helps protect your skin from sun damage. So why not add grapefruit to your daily breakfast routine? It's a great way to get your day started off on the right foot.

5. Oranges

Oranges are a great source of fiber, vitamin C, and folate. They're also relatively low in calories, making them a perfect snack or addition to breakfast. Vitamin C is important for skin health, collagen production, and immune function, while folate is essential for pregnant women and helps prevent birth defects. Oranges are also a good source of potassium, which can help lower blood pressure.

Conclusion:

No matter your skin type, you can find fruit to improve it. Berries, which are rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, will nourish the skin for a more radiant appearance. Citrus fruits deliver vitamin C as well as potassium, another nutrient that helps hydrate the skin's surface cells so they function better. Peaches and plums offer healthy amounts of beta-carotene for improved immunity and faster wound healing. If you're concerned about dark spots or loss of firmness due to age or UV exposure, look for figs in your grocery store; these antioxidant powerhouses contain an enzyme called ficin that will help brighten up uneven pigmentation with regular consumption.

One of Those Things...

The keys on your keyboard that click with each stroke...

That piano you oftentimes graze...

Your steering wheel, trousers, and cellular phone...

The side of your curious face...

Your fork, your spoon, your cup of tea,

Your papers and pencils and such...

Oh, but if I could be one of those things

Your hands ever gracefully touch...

i will write and rewrite this over and over again until it’s exactly as painful as you made me feel. i may never even finish the piece. Here

I’d forgotten you existed!

The very one that shattered me at one time.

I think back, or forward really just with memories, and I remember how incredibly cruel you were… how violently you broke me.

I would wait, wait. On edge. On edges of beds that you would drunkenly push me onto. On edges of passenger seats because you locked the car doors so I couldn’t get out. Edges of cliffs you made me want to jump off of. I would wait. Wait for any moment that you might look me in the eye with ones that weren’t evil. I waited for your mouth to say something that didn’t indicate my death was encouraged. I waited for the man I thought you were to show up.

I remember how incredibly cruel you were. I wondered if you even wondered what it would be like to be kind. I remember I prayed at night that you would say to me “I don’t want you to die”. But you left me to it! You did.

I didn’t die though.

Almost.

But not fully.

It’s a big thing—almost dying and actually dying.

It’s not close like light blue and sky blue.

It’s different hues on the scale.

There's the almost dying and coming back to life, me.

There's the almost dying and stay dead inside, you.

I smile at what I know I'd hear about you, if I ever remembered to waste my time asking about scum. I know nothing will have changed. Kind under pressure. Evil under cover. Having mommy save your ass. Having daddy save your cash.

But your brother. He's real. He's different than you - he said, and i quote, "He never deserved you."

I’d forgotten you’d even existed! Ever!

Dear John,

Maybe, if you’re lucky, you’ll get to see how much better my very own existence is ever since you blessed me with your absence.

Love letter to the stranger in the bicycle

It was a whole semester i saw you down the street on my way to university. I fell in love with the sight of your hair in the wind, your nervous gestures when you were late and your glasses. Loving you from a distance was safe. You looked perfect each day, with your perfect outfits, your tall frame and your hair styled. I saw you each day as we went on opposite sides down the same street and isn’t that sad? How sometimes seeing you was the only thing that got me out of bed in the morning? How even though I was exhausted the thought of seeing you gave me life? Thank you. Goodbye. We’ll always be on opposite sides. You’ll never be mine and I’ll never be yours. Last time I saw you I decided I would rather go down the same path, down God’s path than to keep looking back. I chose God. I chose life. I chose His path and so that means we’ll always be on opposite sides. Thank you, it felt nice loving you, now I have to keep going, without worrying if your frame is turning into a blurred line. Take care.

With love,

The stranger in the other side of the road.

if you want to read more of these love letters I have a whole section in my blog.

Speak

I think your hands speak louder than your words which you

eras— fuck, um, sorry. I'll start saying that again.

Your hands fold into each other, bitten nails pressing into the skin between your pointer fingers and your thumbs, pushing pushing pushing

all the words you can't say back into your skin as you smile nervously at me

t tutter tering while your hands eloquently narrate your emotions

while all the uncertainty and pain and truths are bitten off your tongue

you give a sugarcoat to the speech you memorized while your hands dance, naked.
