Nutritional experts and cardiologists have identified specific benefits of various fruits regarding immune health, digestion, and sleep quality.

Mandarin oranges are highlighted for their vitamin C content, which supports the immune system and skin health, as well as beta-cryptoxanthin, potassium, and fiber for digestion. 

To maintain sleep quality, cardiologist Aurelio Rojas recommends consuming fruits with a low glycemic index in the evening, such as kiwi, blueberries, and apples. In contrast, fruits high in sugar—including bananas, grapes, mangoes, and pineapples—may trigger insulin secretion and disrupt sleep.
