DOES FRUIT REALLY MAKE YOU FAT?

Hey, guys, my name is simran singh welcome to my blog. Here I share information related to health care.



NO!

Whole fruits are high in both water and fiber, which means they are naturally both nutrient dense and low in calories. For example, one cup of whole strawberries contains just 49 calories and 7 grams of sugar, compared to about 64 calories and 17 grams of sugar in just a tablespoon of honey.Apart from impressive nutrients, fresh fruit is high in water and fiber, so its naturally occurring sugar is less concentrated than other sweet foods.
It’s when fruit is processed into either dried fruit or juice that we run into issues. This is because when either the water or fiber has been stripped from the fruit, it becomes a much more concentrated serving of sugar and calories. Let’s look at grapes and raisins for example. A one cup serving of grapes contains about 100 calories and 24 grams of sugar. Take a one cup serving of raisins on the other hand and you’re eating a whopping 540 calories and 100 (YES ONE-HUNDRED) grams of sugar.

Fruit provides endurance-boosting energy


If you are active, consuming fruit pre-workout is a great way to fuel exercise and energize your cells. One study, which compared bananas to a sports drink during intense cycling, found that in addition to providing antioxidants and nutrients not found in sports drinks, bananas triggered a greater shift in dopamine, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in movement and mood (some research also indicates that a low dopamine level may be tied to obesity). Other studies, that compared raisins to sports supplements, found that shrunken grapes were just as effective at supporting endurance, but raisins provide bonus nutrients.
