After 40, your gut, hormones, and metabolism begin to shift which means your body needs more nutrient diversity than before.
And one of the easiest ways to support your gut and hormones is by eating a variety of fruits each week. 🍎🥭🍇
Why?
Because every fruit feeds a different group of gut microbes.
And the more diverse your gut bacteria, the better your digestion, mood, immunity, skin, energy, and hormonal balance. 🌿
Women 40+ especially benefit from fruit diversity because it helps:
✨ Reduce inflammation
✨ Support smoother digestion
✨ Balance blood sugar
✨ Strengthen bones
✨ Improve mood & sleep
✨ Support liver detox (key for hormone balance)
Think of fruits as daily vitamins gifted by nature each one with its own healing role. 💛
Aim: Include a mix of these fruits across the week to nourish your microbiome and support midlife health.
🍌 Banana → Potassium for energy
🍇 Grapes → Polyphenols for heart health
🍍 Pineapple → Bromelain for digestion
🍒 Cherries → Anthocyanins for inflammation
🍑 Peach → Vitamin A for skin health
🫐 Blueberries → Flavonoids for memory
🍏 Green Apple → Fibre for blood sugar balance
🥥 Coconut → MCT fats for energy
🍋 Lemon → Vitamin C for immunity
🍓 Strawberries → Manganese for strong bones
🍈 Muskmelon → Hydration for acidity relief
🍐 Pear → Soluble fibre for digestion
🥭 Mango → Beta-carotene for vision
🥭 Papaya → Papain for gut health
🌰 Custard Apple → Vitamin B6 for mood
🫛 Starfruit → Potassium for body balance
🍑 Apricot → Iron for blood health
🍉 Watermelon → Lycopene for cooling
🫒 Olives → Healthy fats for heart health
✨ Your goal isn’t perfection — it’s diversity.
A colourful plate = a happier gut = a healthier midlife.
