You hear so much conflicting nutrition information about what’s healthy and what’s not. While fruit is natural and considered a whole food, you want to choose the right ones that have the least amount of fruit sugar per serving and the most fiber to slow down the sugar absorption into the bloodstream. Organic fresh or local are ideal but frozen or canned in its natural juice can be a good alternative for smoothies or when the local or organic does not look palatable.
3 to 5 TIPS/STEPS TO ADDRESS THIS:
Choose fruit that has a lot of fiber in the skin like cherries and apples.
Avoid fruit juices
Choose fruit that has a larger serving size as in less sugar per serving like strawberries and dried apricots.
HERE ARE YOUR TAKEAWAYS:
When buying fruit always choose fresh, organic, local, frozen or canned in its natural juices.
Choose fruits with a higher fiber content to slow down the absorption of sugars into the bloodstream like cherries, dried apricots, and apples.
Avoid fruit juices as they are quickly absorbed into the bloodstream that spike blood sugar and insulin levels.
