Why eat more fruits and vegetables? Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and minerals and they keep you energized throughout. You might already know these reasons but we are going to speak about few more important points on the importance of fruits and vegetables in our daily diet.
Fruits form the major bit of my daily morning breakfast. Fruits and vegetables come from plants and are the most natural resources of food for humans. Also that we have been eating them for a very long time now. Many of us call fruits as “Nature’s fast food” because they are very easily available to us an are portable too.
However, on the contrary, in the past few years, many people have challenged the belief about the health benefits and effects of fruits. The main reason for such notion was about the high sugar content in fruits as compared to vegetables or whole foods. Yes, we agree sugar is bad but only for few cases and in extra quantities. The added sugar is harmful to health and it is because it affects the metabolism of the body when consumed in large amounts. But believing that added sugar is not good for health and hence fruits aren’t – is an absolute baseless argument.
We know this is completely wrong and since fructose overdosage is bad for humans, it is almost impossible for such a situation to occur by eating only fruits.
