These four autumn fruits all have many health benefits, and can especially prevent or cure cancer.

Apple

Apples are the quintessential fall fruit. They are high in fiber and vitamin C, making them a great snack when you’re on the go.

Recent studies have shown that a compound found in apples may actually act as a natural cancer cure, killing colon cancer cells even more effectively than chemotherapy drugs.

Choose apples that are firm and free of bruises. To keep them fresh indoors, store them in a cool, dry place away from other fruits such as avocados, bananas, or citrus fruits.

Pear

Pears usually ripen on the tree, you can detect ripeness by the smell of the fruit. Choose the best pear and store in the refrigerator and use within 5 days.

Just like apples, lemon juice can help prevent browning of pears when cut.

This fruit contains a complex carbohydrate called pectin, which acts as a detoxifier, digestive regulator and immune system stimulant. Pears stimulate digestion, lower cholesterol and regulate blood sugar levels.

Pears contain protein, lipid, cellulose, calcium, phosphorus, iron, carotene, vitamins B1, B2, C, glucose, acetic acid... all of which have certain anti-cancer effects.

Because pears are cold, people with cold stomach pain and diarrhea should not use them.

Grape

Grapes are typically at their best in the fall. They're a great source of vitamin K, vitamin C, antioxidants, and resveratrol, an anti-inflammatory compound that keeps your skin looking youthful.

Grapes contain a special flavonoid called resveratrol (phytochemical), which has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Grapes are known to be one of the best fruits to fight cancer. Not only can they prevent cancer cell damage, but they can also reduce the growth of cancer cells in colon, stomach, lymph, liver, and breast cells.

Store grapes in the refrigerator for up to a week, and remember to wash them before eating.

Pink

This fruit is very popular in some Asian countries. It contains antioxidants - catechins and polyphenols which have very good anti-inflammatory properties.

Vitamin A, shibuol, betulinic acid and many other antioxidants in persimmons are considered killers against free radicals - agents that damage cells and lead to cancer.

The abundant amount of vitamin C in this fruit helps prevent diseases such as flu, colds, lung infections such as asthma. This makes the body's immune system stronger.

However, persimmons are not good for people with diabetes and should not be eaten when frequently constipated.
