List your top 5 favorite fruits.

So many delicious fruits and I love most of them.

I enjoy blueberries filled with antioxidants for health but luscious to taste. They may help lower blood pressure, prevent heart disease, improve memory, aid in exercise recovery and seem to be overall a very healthy fruit. And if you are lucky to try Maine blueberries, which are smaller than a pea but snacks with flavor, they are heavenly. 

I like blackberries. They used to grow on my property in South Carolina but they were a tad bitter. I used those to make jam which made for a perfect jam, not overly sweet. They are a good source for Vitamin C, K and manganese. They are also a good source of fiber.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away. That old saying may not be true but apples are delicious. Especially my favorites Fiji, Macoun, and Honey Crisps.

Now my favorite fruit is the cherry. I love cherries and can’t wait until summer when they are in the grocery stores. Now for the benefits: Cherries are good for the heart, may lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and may help inflammatory conditions. They may also help with sleep. I eat them when I have a migraine. My favorites come from the state of Washington.

And I love all fruits that I don’t have to cut up. So I’m on a cruise a enjoying cantaloupe, honeydew and watermelon.
