Is Too Much Fruit Bad?!
Question: Is Too Much Fruit Bad!?
I was kind of wondering, is too much fruit bad!? Fruit is basically a simple carbohydrate consisting of fructose, so it will be broken down into glucose quickly!.
Obviously, there are some times where that is just what you need, but what if you eat a lot!? I don't, by the way, lol, people overestimate the importance of vegetables and fruits!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

too much of anything (including good things) is bad!. Fruits are good for you and you need them!. They provide vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, etc!. (lots of good stuff)!.
[It is generally recognized that antioxidants are powerful nutrients that protect your health by fighting against free radicals in your body, preventing damage from oxidation!.]
Now, if you are trying to lean out then you may want to limit your fruit intake (as you know the sugar in fruit is better than other types but it's still sugar)!. You also may want to focus your fruit intake on the high fiber and antioxidants type (most berries - strawberries, etc!. are what you should be eating)!.
Also, eating the whole fruit (i!.e!. fresh fruit vs!. even 100% fruit juice) is better for you because that way you ensure you get more of the nutrients and less of the sugar!.
Anyway, the simple answer to your question is 'yes' and 2-3 servings should be fine (I tend to range b/w 2-6 dependent on what 'phase' i'm in - I don't like veggies though :-)Www@Answer-Health@Com
