A Healthy Guide To Eating

CHAPTER 7: THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF EATING FRUITS It is an unfortunate but common knowledge that people who follow the standard American diet do not eat enough fruit. What fruit they do eat is usually found in cans or saturated with sugar.

The added sugar and fruit is definitely something that takes away any health benefits that eating fruit in its natural state can provide the body.

There can be some complications to eating too much fruit, especially if you have diabetes. Fruit is high in natural sugars, and when it is juiced, you get a lot of sugar without a lot of fiber, which can provide the body with an excess.

The fiber present within fruit is one of the things that makes it the healthiest, and helps the body to lower heart disease and avoid constipation. Not only that, but fiber rich foods like fruit and vegetables are very beneficial for weight management because it helps you to feel full with fewer calories. Not only that, but fruit is high in many vitamins and minerals, especially citrus fruits when it comes to vitamin C.
