Introduce new and exotic fruits to your diet for an antioxidant boost

We all know that fruits are good for us. They are low in calories and high in fiber which can help you with your weight loss. Fruits are also full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Spring and summer months are a great time to try some fantastic fruits.

Prevention.com shared some exotic fruits for their readers along with the amazing health benefits each one provides. So instead of eating one more banana or apple try fresh figs, lychees, guavas, Asian pears, and papayas.

Here are some recipes from Epicurious.com to help you add these new foods to your diet:
Fresh Summer Fruit in Ginger Wine Syrup
Asian Fruit Salad with Papaya-Mint Sauce
