   Fruits are a group of indispensable for our health and wellness foods, especially for its contribution of fiber, vitamins and minerals and antioxidant substances (vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein, flavonoids, anthocyanins, etc. ).

       The minimum amount established recommend the World Health Organization (WHO) experts in nutrition and related companies in the consumption of fresh fruit is 400 grams per day. We recommend consuming 3-5 servings of fruit a day.

      Fruits are a treasure for health. Vitamins, antioxidants, active against diseases. The impressive properties of fruits translate into benefits that extend to the functioning of our metabolism and body in general. Affect the processes of aging, rejuvenating and moisturizing our skin and vital organs, seek valuable salts to our body, benefit the beauty of our body and especially the beauty of our skin.

      A one cup serving fruit contributes about 60 Kcal, as far as energy is less q a slice of bread and the most wonderful are vitamins and minerals that are essential to obtain q endless adequate metabolic functions.

      As to which is the shortest time to eat fruit: we have different views naturists suggest q is before meals to improve digestion and avoid q ferment, but it all depends on what foods are consumed a diet high in fat will require longer digestion and absorption there may be counterproductive eating fruits after frying for example, but not to supplement breakfast or snacks; different questions also arise whether to or not eating at dinner, this also depends on the patient's condition and characteristics, should be a personalized recommendation.
      These personal characteristics are what leads us to discuss the glycemic index (rate of rise in blood glucose) in fruit, for example those who have insulin resistance or pre-diabetes or diabetes should avoid eating banana, green grapes, mango and loquat.

      Fruits are excellent source of fiber so we recommend your entire consumption and prevent juices and smoothies as fiber to process them (a substance that helps control cholesterol and gastrointestinal transit) is lost. On the other hand you consume whole makes the nutrients to be absorbed more slowly, be favorable for patients with hyperglycemia.
