Besides that, citrus fruits are also rich in nutrients such as vitamin C, flavonoids, and dietary fiber.
Vitamin C can remove free radicals in the body, it protects cells from being damaged by free radicals, and also prevents inflammation ;Flavonoids have various types of biological activities such as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant; dietary fiber is good for intestinal peristalsis.

Dietary fiber is like the “cleaner” of the intestinal environment. It pulls out metabolic waste from the body and makes the intestines more “refreshing”. At the same time, dietary fiber can also raise the number of beneficial intestinal bacteria and lower the number of harmful bacteria so that the intestinal microecological balance is maintained and the occurrence of chronic inflammation is avoided.
Food recommendation: You can easily supplement the dietary fiber your body needs and contribute to the improvement of your inflammatory constitution by eating 1 apple and 1/4 avocado every day.
