Apple

The adage "an apple a day" is very practical right now. In fact, apples are rich in fiber, which promotes cardiovascular health and helps prevent strokes. Additionally, eating an apple as a snack before exercise can boost endurance because apples contain quercetin, a flavonoid shown to increase oxygen delivery to the lungs.

White cauliflower

Although also a member of the cabbage family, cauliflower is often overshadowed by broccoli. However, cauliflower can actually help fight cancer, improve cardiovascular health, combat inflammation, and enhance liver function and cognitive function. A study from the University of Hawaii (USA) showed that eating cauliflower about three times a week can improve liver function and help the body burn fat more efficiently.

Sweet potato

A sweet potato contains 160 calories, 37 grams of carbs, 4 grams of protein, and is loaded with vitamins and minerals. Even more surprisingly, sweet potatoes contain more potassium than bananas, which helps prevent muscle cramps. To reap the health benefits of sweet potatoes, eat them with the skin on, as the skin is rich in fiber and quercetin. Quercetin can help improve endurance during exercise.

Pumpkin

This beloved vegetable can support weight loss, improve mood, and protect skin. With only about 3 grams of fiber and 49 calories per cup of pumpkin, it can keep you feeling full longer. Additionally, pumpkin is a rich source of carotenoids, which can help reduce wrinkles. For athletes, pumpkin is a great post-workout snack because its electrolyte content can refuel the body's systems and reduce the risk of cramps.

Radish

Radishes are low in calories and high in fiber, which helps you feel full for longer. In addition, radishes contain many antioxidants, which help fight free radicals – which cause damage in the body.

Mushroom

Autumn is ideal for eating mushrooms, as they are low in calories but rich in nutrients. When it comes to B vitamins, mushrooms are always at the top of the list. Furthermore, due to their high selenium content, mushrooms also help improve the immune response by increasing T cell production. Moreover, the vitamin D in mushrooms is linked to regulating the growth of healthy cells and inhibiting the growth of cancer cells.
