Diets rich in fruits, nuts and vegetables decrease the risk of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer. In most low-income households, there is low uptake of fruits even in plant-based diets. This causes stunting, obesity and nutrient deficiencies in foodstuffs. The article discusses the health benefits of six fruits and how their shapes are similar to human body organs. The literature survey focused on searching, screening and selecting articles from key databases including, Google search engine and Google Scholar. The findings show that organic fruits are vital for healthy functioning of body organs they resemble. They also protect bodies against diseases. Therefore, understanding the health utility of fruits is critical to enhance their inclusion in diets. It is an important step towards ending hunger, achieving food security, enhancing nutrition, and promoting sustainable agroforestry.
