Fruits are healthy and provide lots of nutrition,\u00a0vitamins,\u00a0antioxidants,\u00a0carbohydrates,\u00a0fibre and bioflavanoids to the body.These things together protect your body from different health conditions and heart disease. However if you only eat fruit,\u00a0you miss many other essential nutrients such as fats and protein. This can upset your stomach and lead to indigestion. Hence it is very important to take a well-balanced diet to remain healthy. Check out why you should not rely solely on fruits for living.<\/p>\n
Fruits do not provide protein<\/strong><\/p>\n Protein is highly important for your growth and development. By eating only fruits,\u00a0you are restricting your intake of proteins that can stop your overall development process. Your body requires calories and energy on a regular basis. Each cell of your body contains protein. To keep your body cells in top working condition it is important that you include protein-rich foods such as lentils,\u00a0soy products,\u00a0 nuts and beans in your regular diet. You can also consume low-fat dairy,\u00a0lean meat,\u00a0fish and skinless poultry to provide required amount of protein to your body.<\/p>\n Fruits do not provide fat<\/strong><\/p>\n Although excess of fat is not good for health,\u00a0it is essential that your body requires on daily basis to ensure smooth functioning of your immune system and also to help your body absorb various minerals and vitamins provided by other foods like fruit. If you continue being a fruitarian for long duration,\u00a0the chances of stroke due to brain haemorrhage increases. According to health experts,\u00a0you should get around 20 to 35 percent of your daily calories from fat. To provide your body with good fats you should include soybean,\u00a0sunflower, olive or canola oil in your diet. Fish and poultry also provide good amount of healthy fats to the body.<\/p>\n Too much of fruits can lead to digestive problems<\/strong><\/p>\n Fruits provide fibres to the body in large amounts. Although your body needs fibre as it is one of the essential nutrients,\u00a0getting too much of fibre can lead to side effects. Fibre works as broom to clear of your abdomen and aid in the digestion process. However,\u00a0too much of fibre leads to stomach problems and cause symptoms such as gas,\u00a0cramps and bloating. Sometimes it may also lead to chronic diarrhoea,\u00a0dehydration and loose stools. On a regular basis,\u00a0a woman requires only 22 to 28 gm of fiber per day and a man needs 34 to 38 gm. Apart from fruits,\u00a0seeds,\u00a0vegetables and whole grains also provide fibre to the body.<\/p>\n Other considerations<\/strong><\/p>\n If you limit your intake to fruits,\u00a0you may not get enough calories required for producing the required amount of energy. Consuming calories less than 1100 per day can lead to lot of side-effects such as intolerance to cold,\u00a0gallstones,\u00a0hair loss and fatigue.<\/p>\n So although fruits taste wonderful and are very tempting,\u00a0being a fruitarian is not the best thing for your health. Your body needs all the nutrients for carrying out its different activities and hence you should include variety of foods in your diet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fruits are healthy and provide lots of nutrition,\u00a0vitamins,\u00a0antioxidants,\u00a0carbohydrates,\u00a0fibre and bioflavanoids to the body.These things together protect your body from different health conditions and heart disease.
