Fruits Can Make You Obese

FRUITS CAN MAKE YOU OBESE
A study has shown that fructose the

natural sugar found in fresh fruits

is also a cause for obesity.

Many fruits are very high in sugar

content and snacking on them all day

can lead to obesity eventually.

Especially in the abdominal area,

resulting in a pot belly.

FRUIT SUGAR TABLE

HIGH SUGAR LOW SUGAR

Apples, Berries

Cherries, Watermelon

Grapes, Melons

Mangoes, Tomatoes

Pears, Apricots

Pineapple, Grapefruit

Pomegranates, Guava

Bananas, Limes

Figs, Oranges

Prunes, Papayas

Dried Fruits Peaches

Fruits like apples,pears, oranges,

and others are not flattening but

heaps of natural sugar content,

which like all things - is good in

small amounts. The problem arises

if you eat 20 pieces of fruit.

The recommended serving is 1 -3

pieces per day. Other items to be

slowed down on are juices and jams

which are also high in fructose

content. According to Dr Dhiraj

palena, general physician and

nutrition consultant. " Fruit

juices contain as much, if not

more, carbohydrates and energy

than sweetened cold drinks.

It is when one adds table sugar

to fruits in salads or juices

that increases the level of sugar

in the dish, causing flattening

problems.Eating the skin of the

fruit which has important nutrients

can help negate sugar content.

Fructose(fruit sugar) is less harmful

than sucrose(table sugar).Fruit sugar

is better than table sugar. By eating

sucrose our bodies go out of sync with

the sugar processed in the body

extremely fast. Fructose is broken

down more slowly which allows the

body more time to react.
