Nature's Fast Food

Sweet, delicious fruit.

Why would we not want to eat this amazing food source that nature provides?

It’s because people are afraid fruit is going to make them fat.

Fruit.

Not fruit snacks or fruit juices or manufactured snacks with a little fruit in them, disguised as healthy.

I’m talking about plain old fruit that you pick off of a tree or bush.

I think it’s kind of sad that this is where we are at with our nutritional knowledge.

People have become afraid of fruit because it contains natural sugars in the form of fructose and since sugar is bad, it’s all bad.

Indeed, we need to eat less sugar, but is it just sugar that’s the problem?

Maybe the battle for being healthy is more about getting your bodyweight down than any particular diet.

But back to the original fast food.

Fruit contains beneficial nutrients, like vitamins, minerals and fiber—which help stabilize your blood sugar, lower inflammation, and boost overall health.

Fruit is mostly water which makes it low in calories, making it a perfect addition to any healthy nutrition plan. Although you can gain weight from over-eating any type of food, it’s a lot harder to do so when you’re eating mostly low-calorie foods, such as fruit, vegetables, beans, and lean protein sources.

Fruit is a key component to good health, not an enemy.
