The best thing you can do each season is to go to the supermarket and look for the fruits and vegetables of those months.
By buying seasonal products, you ensure that they will be fresh, and they will also be much more economical.
If that weren't enough, seasonal fruits have better flavor and are packed with vitamins and minerals that your body needs.
Here are five reasons to eat seasonal fruits in summer:
They contain a higher amount of water, which is necessary to regulate body temperature on hot summer days.
High levels of beta-carotene protect our skin from the sun's rays.
The flavor is much more intense since they have not been frozen.
Seasonal fruits are obtained more easily, so their price is usually lower.
You help keep the land in good condition as it is not forced to produce something out of season.
Now let's see this summer which fruits are in season and what benefits they have for you:
Melon: the delicious melon that is produced in bulk during this season contains vitamin A, which protects the skin from free radicals.

Blueberries: the natural components of blueberries help improve the body's defenses, protecting it against certain diseases.
If we eliminated all the empty space from all the atoms of every living human being right now, all human matter would occupy the same volume as a sugar cube. Or a blueberry. . . . . #fruit #fruits #blueberry #arándano #nature #natural #naturaleza #ecofood #food #healthyfood #healthybreakfast #foodstagram #quotes #quotestags #quotestoliveby
