Fiber
Fiber is an essential component of a healthy diet. As a carbohydrate your body can’t actually digest, fiber absorbs water in your digestive tract, which keeps you full longer and helps prevent spikes in blood sugar. It also keeps things moving to prevent constipation. Which fruit takes home first prize?

Hyaluronic acid for skin
You may have heard that hyaluronic acid does wonders for your skin. Why is that? Hyaluronic acid binds to water, so your skin retains hydration. It also helps your body make collagen and elastin, which both help your skin look smooth and youthful.
Winner: Oranges. Though they don’t have hyaluronic acid in them, oranges contain naringin, which slows the depletion of hyaluronic acid in the skin.
Runner up: Bananas. Bananas are packed with magnesium, which helps the body make hyaluronic acid.
