Discovering how to be a fruitarian in winter can be challenging, but it is essential to understand the basics. Fruits have varying effects on the body’s temperature, with some having a cooling effect, while others can have a heating effect. Cooling fruits include apples, bananas, grapefruit, kiwis, lemons, oranges, pear, persimmons, strawberries, and watermelon, while less cooling/warming fruits include cherries, dates, coconut water, guavas, mangos, nectarines, peaches, and raspberries. Neutral fruits are apricots, figs, goji berries, grapes, olives, papayas, pineapples, and plums.
