Regular consumption of red fruits may help protect against cancer, according to Dietitian Hande Selin Ok, who said clinical studies have produced encouraging findings.
Among the indispensable flavors of summer, red fruits stand out not only for their refreshing qualities but also for their health benefits. Fruits such as watermelon, pomegranate, strawberries, cherries, red plums and blueberries, which are rich in antioxidants, vitamins and bioactive compounds, are believed to help protect against many diseases when consumed regularly and in moderation.
Hande Selin Ok, a dietitian at Acıbadem Kent Hospital, said the powerful antioxidants found in red fruits support the immune system. She noted that clinical studies suggest regular consumption may help reduce the risk of cancer, adding that these fruits are an essential part of a healthy diet.
Ok also emphasized that red fruits offer significant benefits for cardiovascular health, stating that these seasonal fruits should be included in a balanced diet, especially during the summer months.
