7.Do eat: Lemons
In 1747, British researcher James Lind made history with some of the first controlled medical experiments ever conducted. He was trying to find a cure for scurvy, and found lemons worked so well that within a week, the patients he was treating were back on their feet (via the BBC). Today, we know why: A single lemon gives you 139 percent of your daily vitamin C.
8.Do eat: Kiwi
Everyone suffers from a little bit of gastrointestinal distress sometimes, and it turns out there’s a secret weapon in your fruit bowl that can make you feel better: the kiwi. Studies have found that the fiber present in kiwi has a massive impact on not only aiding digestion, but in improving how well your body absorbs nutrients. There’s also evidence that it helps alleviate the pain of constipation, reduce bloating and discomfort, and increase overall gut health.
