#115 - Dangers of Eating Fruit

from Beyond Chronic Disease · host Wendy Gathercole

As someone who has battled Crohn's disease, anxiety, depression, and panic attacks, I've experienced firsthand the transformative power of nutrition. One crucial element in my healing journey was the incorporation of fruit into my diet. Despite some misguided advice to avoid fruit, I found that its easily digestible nature made it an ideal food choice during my recovery.When we're diagnosed with a chronic disease, our bodies often struggle to process complex foods. Fruit, with its simple sugars and high water content, offers a gentle yet nourishing option. It became a cornerstone of my dietary approach, providing essential nutrients without overtaxing my digestive system.3 Reasons why fruit will assist your bodys natural healing abilities:- Nutrient Powerhouse: Fruits are packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support overall health. They are particularly rich in vitamin C, potassium, fibre, and folate, which many people do not get enough of in their diets. Disease Prevention: A diet high in fruits may lower the risk of various chronic diseases, including heart disease, stroke, certain cancers, and obesity. The antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds in fruits help fight free radicals and reduce inflammation in the body. Digestive Health: Fruits are excellent sources of dietary fibre, which aids in proper bowel function and may help reduce blood cholesterol levels. The fibre in fruits also promotes feelings of fullness, potentially helping with weight management.For your personalised holistic lifestyle plan click on the link belowhttps://linktr.ee/wendygathercoleWendy x x
