Apples Fiber, which keeps you full and aids digestion, makes this fall fruit popular. Maples adds antioxidants and cancer-fighting quercetin.
Pears Maples notes that pears provide 25% of our daily fiber needs. According to a Harvard study of almost 200,000 men and women, anthocyanin-rich foods like pears cut diabetes risk.
Pumpkin You'll see pumpkin everything in fall, but be sure you're getting the actual thing—not pumpkin spice.
Parsnips “Carrot’s cousin, only white and a little sweeter,” explains Maples. This crunchy root vegetable has four grams of fiber, vitamin C, and copper per serving. Grab it for a quick snack.
Beets Roast the root and sauté the leaves. Maples claims beet nitrates reduce blood pressure and help you recuperate from a workout so you can workout again the next day.
