There are various kinds of fruits in autumn, such as pear, red date, orange and pomegranate. Abundant nutrients are contained in these fruits. Generally speaking, people should at least supplement nutrients by eating six kinds of fruits in autumn.

Hawthorn contains the highest content of calcium. It is said that each 100 grams of hawthorn can contain 52 milligrams of calcium. Pregnant women and children are always in great need of calcium, so they can eat some hawthorns after dinner. In addition, the triterpenoid gadoleic acid and flavonoid contained in hawthorn can effectively decrease the level of blood pressure and cholesterol for the human body. The raw hawthorn can also eliminate the fat and restrain the absorption for people.

Shaddock contains the lowest content of carbohydrate. The foods which contain abundant carbohydrates can increase the blood sugar and insulin for the human body, which can cause obesity and even diabetes and the heart disease. Each 100 grams of shaddock can only contain 9.5 grams of carbohydrates, so the absorption content of carbohydrates can be moderately decreased.

Orange contains the most abundant vitamin B1 among all the fruits in autumn. Orange can improve the digestion and stop coughing for the human body. People who need to supplement vitamin B1 can eat oranges. However, the excessive intake can cause internal heat inside the human body.

Red dates nearly contain all the essential nutrients needed by the human body, such as vitamin C, potassium and magnesium. Vitamin C can prevent high blood pressure, coronary heart disease and arteriosclerosis. Red dates can effectively help people enrich the blood and nourish the spleen and stomach.

Pomegranate contains highest content of dietary fibers. The dietary fibers contained in pomegranate are water-soluble. They will not be decomposed by enzyme in the digestive tract. Therefore, they can absorb the extra water and accelerate the defecation, which can not only prevent constipation but also alleviate diarrhea.

Chinese chestnut nearly contains all the mineral substances for people to maintain the normal activities. Chinese chestnut contains potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc and manganese and so on. In addition, the unsaturated fatty acid and vitamins can prevent high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, osteoporosis and arteriosclerosis. However, people should not eat chestnuts excessively, or constipation can be caused.

The fruits mentioned above can effectively supplement essential nutrients and improve the physical health for the human body. People should often eat these fruits, and the key is to keep a moderate amount.
