Two types of fiber are found in an apple, soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber dissolves into the water in the stomach and increases feelings of fullness and satisfaction after a meal. Insoluble fiber is not digested in the stomach but helps promote gut health and regular bowel movements. Daily apple consumption has been consistently associated with a reduced risk of cancer, heart disease, asthma, type 2 diabetes, and increased lung function.

- Orange: Experts recommend adding oranges to your diet to help control weight, because of its fiber content.

Eating whole oranges instead of orange juice will help reduce hunger and burn calories and increase satiety for longer.
