Fruits can make you obese

Some of the people only know that fruits can develop obesity. It is because of that fructose, the natural sugar found in fresh fruits is a main cause for obesity. Many of the fruits are rich in sugar content and snacking on them every day can gain weight to the consumers, you can feel more pounds especially in the abdominal area resulting in a big pot belly.

It is not essential to stop eating fruits. It serves good to the consumers. But the recommend serving is 1-3 pieces per day. Fruits like apples, oranges, pears and others are not fattening but have heaps of natural sugar content, which like all things – is good in small amounts. The problem arises if you eat 20 pieces of fruit each day. Other items to be slowed down on are juices and jams which are also high in fructose content. One should also look after this issue and have a limited proportion for general well-being.

Most people think they are safe by having fresh fruit juices instead of soft drinks but still adding more fat. It is because artificial sugar is being added to fruits to make juices which are already sweet in nature, it is nothing but people are inviting troubles. It is bad to know that fruit juices contain more carbohydrates and energy than sweeten drinks. In about 100 ml of fruit juices it contains 11.5 g of carbohydrates, while a sweetened cool drink has only 10.3g per 100 ml. Fruit juices also contain vitamin and fibers, but energy and carbohydrates are practically identical.

When one adds table sugar to fruits in salads or juices that increases the level of sugars and cause fattening problems. Eating the skin of the some fruits which has important nutrients can help negate sugar content. Even though fruits are caused by obesity, one can breathe easy knowing that fructose (fruit sugar) is less harmful than sucrose (table sugar). It is because by eating sucrose your body goes 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.
