Fruit myths

Fruit mono-diets harm the figure. An imbalance in the components forces the body to store fat rather than burn calories. Not getting enough protein, carbohydrates and micronutrients, the body is under stress. For example, pineapple contains the enzyme bromelain, which breaks down complex proteins but does not burn fat.

Fruit contains fructose. It is 1.5 times sweeter than sucrose - this reduces the amount of sugar. The disadvantage of such a product is that the liver breaks it down immediately into fatty acids, that is, despite its properties, fructose is more harmful than sugar. Dairy products with bananas or strawberries are more damaging to the figure than bread. Whole grain baked goods are complex carbohydrates that do not form fat. It takes a lot of energy to digest such food. The same myth occurs regarding pasta: in fact, coarse grinding only improves bowel function.

Sweet fruits (grapes, peaches, bananas, persimmons, pears, mangoes) do not harm the figure, but rather give the body vitamins, minerals and trace elements. Due to the significant amount of sugar, they should be eaten no more than twice a week in the morning. If you eat fruit half an hour before meals, the body will better absorb nutrients. Nutritionists advise to eat 300 grams of fruit without drinking water.

Fruits make you want to eat more - not true. People who substitute fruit for sugary snacks eat less sugar and consume fewer calories.

Bloating from fruits indicates their intolerance to the body - a myth! Gas formation when eating fruit, on the contrary, indicates that the digestive system is working well. The main thing is that there is no diarrhea and pain. Reduce the portion of fruits if you experience any discomfort after consuming them.

Fruits rot in the intestines - no, they do not rot, they ferment. The sugars and fibers of fiber are food for our bacteria, which in turn synthesize many useful components. More variety of fruits and vegetables - more variety of beneficial bacteria.

Cannot be consumed with milk - again, no official medical source has confirmed this. And what if you personally noticed a similar intolerance to your body - you can refuse such a combination, and if not, eat to your health!

You can not mix fruits with vegetables - evidence-based medicine does not contain such facts and studies confirming such a connection.

It is thanks to the fiber fibers that the absorption of sugars from fruits is slower and in a smaller percentage than when we are dealing with added sugar or juice.

The recommended norm is no more than 30 g of sugar per day (for adults).

In addition to fiber, fruits contain many trace elements.

Fruits and berries contain antioxidants that help fight free radicals and reduce oxidative stress in the body.
