1. Avocados: They're a great source of healthy fats, fiber, carotenoids and antioxidants.

2. Bananas: One word–potassium. Along with potassium, bananas are also high in magnesium. Together, these two nutrients can help promote restful sleep, so it might be a good idea to nosh on a banana before heading to bed.

3. Bitter melons: Folks in Okinawa eat this fruit regularly. They're super hydrating, and can potentially help regulate glucose levels.

4. Lemons: Lemons and longevity go hand in hand. One reason why? This citrus-forward fruit has loads of polyphenols that have been linked to anti-aging benefits.

5. Papayas: This fruit is high in fiber and has been shown to help boost gut health (a key indicator of healthy aging), promote regularity and reduce constipation.

6. Pejivalles (peach palms): Also known as pejibayes, these peach-like fruits are commonly consumed in Costa Rica. The benefits of this fruit include fiber, antioxidants, and essential vitamins and minerals.

7. Plantains: The less-sweet version of bananas, plantains are lower in sugar than the closely-related fruit. Additionally, plantains also contain more vitamin C, magnesium and potassium than bananas...not to mention loads of gut-healthy fiber.

8. Tomatoes: Tomatoes are a great source of lycopene, an anti-inflammatory plant compound known to boost heart health and longevity.
