Fruits have a surprising amount of health benefits, from supplying energy to preventing disease. Each fruit has its own unique benefits, so what fruit best fits your personality? Here’s a list of fruits you should eat based on your zodiac sign.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18): Persimmon
The exotic persimmon looks like an orange tomato and is Japan’s national fruit. Aquarians can relate to this obscure fruit since they pride themselves on being original and mysterious. Take a break from your intellectual explorations to increase your metabolism and improve eye health by eating a persimmon.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20): Papaya
Pisceans are full of dreams just like papayas are full of antioxidants. Papayas can help promote cardiovascular and digestive health so you can keep chasing those dreams. Pisceans like feeling connected to the world, so eat a papaya and get in touch with your sensitive side.
Aries (March 21 – April 19): Orange
People born under Aries are adventurous, outgoing, and enjoy being leaders. The orange sparked the fad of shower eating and is a trendsetter, just like you. Oranges contain 130% of your percent daily value for vitamin C, which helps you stay healthy, regardless where your next adventure takes you.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20): Mango
The mango has a bitter skin that gives way to a juicy, sweet center. Like the mango, Taurians often keep their true emotions hidden by projecting a reserved appearance. To maintain your calm and collected exterior, eat a mango to keep your blood pressure under control and to improve skin health.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20): Pineapple
Geminis are multi-faceted just like the pineapple. They like knowing a little bit of everything and are always looking for new experiences. The spiky, sweet duality of the pineapple is perfect for the Gemini who wants more variety in their life. If you’re up to the challenge, skip the pre-sliced pineapple and become an expert at pineapple slicing.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22): Peach
Usually seen as nurturers and protectors, Cancers have a soft side and are seen as emotional and sensitive. Like you, the peach is soft inside and outside, which makes it a great comfort food. Cancers seek safety in all aspects of life, and peaches can help prevent stress and anxiety if you are lacking assurance in your life.
Leo (July 23 – August 22): Grapefruit
Leos are adventurers and explorers, but they also work hard to reach their goals. The grapefruit’s contrasting sweet and sour flavors can remind you of yourself. The grapefruit is an energizing and refreshing pick-me-up for the busy Leo and can relieve fatigue and various illnesses, such as fever or the flu.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22): Lychee
Considerate and creative, the Virgo has a strong moral compass and has self-sacrificing tendencies. Virgos are delicate, like the lychee, which has a soft and pulpy inside. Take a break from helping others and let the lychee heal you by strengthening your immune system. The lychee also has antiviral properties and can protect your skin from UV rays.
Libra (September 23 – October 22): Watermelon
Librans seek balance and harmony in their lives. They are consistent and enjoy living uncomplicated lives. The watermelon is balanced, like you, as it is 92% water and full of electrolytes. Watermelons have anti-inflammatory properties and lower the risk of heart disease to help you stay composed and calm.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21): Passionfruit
The most intense of the zodiacs, Scorpios are passionate, resilient, and strive for power. Like you, the passion fruit’s intense flavor is one of its best qualities. Take a break from emotional intensity and eat some passionfruit to lower your blood pressure and improve circulation.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21): Guava
Optimistic and fun-loving, Sagittarians enjoy jumping into new ideas and events, but can often burn themselves out. The guava is the perfect fruit for the busy Sagittarius because it helps you stay energized. The guava promotes a healthy digestive system, helps your body control hormone levels, and increases brain function.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19): Dragonfruit
Capricorns are patient and have a good work ethic. They can persevere and are often successful in reaching their goals. Ambitious and high-achieving, capricorns have a tough exterior like the dragon fruit. On the path to success, stop and eat a dragon fruit to boost your immune system and your metabolic rate.
Ultimately, people have all types of personalities even if they are born under the same zodiac sign. So enjoy all the fruit the earth has to offer and boost your health at the same time.
