Fruits

Fruits can be consumed fresh, frozen, or tinned. Try fruits like mango, pineapple, or kiwi fruit instead of just apples and bananas. If fresh fruit isn't in season, consider dry, tinned, or frozen options. Be cautious that fruit that is canned or dried may have sugar or syrup added. Pick canned fruit that has been either juiced or packed in water.

Maintain your balance by squeezing your abdominal muscles, then switch legs.
