If you are a senior citizen yourself or know someone who is one, then take some time out and find out what can you do to make an older immune system better. An immune system becomes weary with time and does not hold as much as it used to, back in the younger days. So which fruits are best to maintain your health if you have just crossed 60?
Here is a list to make your days easier and lives better.
Apples
An apple a day will surely keep the doctor away, it will also keep the costs of medicines away! Apples are like medicine on their own, they are not even dangerous if consumed too much.
Oranges
Oranges are high in Vitamin C content therefore they are always a great option when it comes to treating older people with care.
Coconuts
Coconuts are amazing and especially when you drink their water. On senior people, coconut oil can be used externally and the rest can be used internally, how amazing is that?
Dates
Dates have the solution to all worries, all health worries at least! As older people it is better to have light snacks, and dates are literally a light snack. They are perfection.
Star Fruit
Star Fruit does not only boost the immune system but in fact also ensures that cholesterol remains at a good rate. This is very important to make sure that a person lives longer and better. Starfruit ensures the above diligently.
