What's the Healthiest Fruit?

We've all heard the cliché, but do you know how much fruit you should actually eat each day

The recommended intake varies, but adults should generally aim for 1.5 to 2 cups of fruit daily, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

A cup of fruit could be an apple, a banana, a cup of blueberries, three medium plums, or seven slices 

While all fruits are healthy, registered dietitian nutritionist Danielle Crumble Smith recommends one nutrient-packed

Blueberries are high in fiber, keeping you full longer. They're also among the fruits and veggies 

From a cognitive standpoint, there are many benefits in terms of memory, and some studies show cardiovascular benefits or compounds that fight cancer

Still, Crumble Smith says eating wild blueberries isn't essential to get the healthy nutrients from fruits.

 Eating any type of fruit will yield healthy results, though some fruits have nutrients that serve different purposes.
