Fruits
Fruits can lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke,
prevent some types of cancer, lower risk of eye and digestive problems, and have a
positive effect upon blood sugar, which can help keep appetite in check. Eating
non-starchy vegetables and fruits like apples, pears, and green leafy vegetables may
even promote weight loss. Their low glycaemic loads prevent blood sugar spikes
that can increase hunger.

When eating whole fruit, it is almost impossible to consume enough fructose to

cause harm. Fruits are loaded with fibre and water and have significant chewing
resistance. For this reason, most fruits take a while to eat and digest, meaning that
the fructose hits your liver slowly. Fibre doesn’t just slow down your eating. It has
many benefits — especially in the case of soluble fibre, which is found in certain
whole foods such as fruits. Fibre can reduce cholesterol levels and help your body
process sugar, and it may help you feel full.

If weight loss is a goal for you, some research also suggests that consuming more
fibre may reduce appetite and promote wight loss.

Fruits
though fruit and vegetables are Even healthy for most people, there are some
reasons why others may need to avoid it. One is intolerance. Fruits and vegetables
provide a slew of vital nutrients, are low in calories and high in fiber. For some
people, however, getting enough fresh fruit in their diets is difficult. Eating fruit,
especially in large amounts, has several disadvantages. It can upset a sensitive
digestive system, cause illnesses from bacteria or create a sugar imbalance.
Indigestion is associated with several uncomfortable symptoms. Bloating, gas,
stomach pain, heartburn and nausea often occur as a result of indigestion. No one
disputes the fact that fruit is a healthy food, but too much of a good thing can be
harmful, especially if you have diabetes or other blood sugar problems. Monitor
your carbohydrate intake to maintain healthy blood sugar levels, which means
monitoring your fruit intake as well. Fruits are exposed to a plethora of bacteria
1
from a wide range of sources. Bacteria such as E. coli, listeria and salmonella attach
to fruit from the soil, rain, and wind as well as the water used by growers. Many
fruits have a tough exterior skin that you do not eat, keeping the bacteria out of your
body, but if the skin is broken, that same bacteria easily penetrate the fruit. Eating
the skin increases your chance of ingesting bacteria.
