It is best for diabetics to eat fruit by the piece

Cherries don't taste very sweet, but even the least sweet fruits still contain sugar, so diabetics must control the amount of fruit they eat. Doctors recommend that diabetics eat fruit by the piece, such as three or four grapes, which can satisfy their appetite without causing too much blood sugar fluctuations.

People with underlying diseases should be extra careful when eating fruit

Not only diabetics, but also people with underlying diseases should be more careful when eating fruit! Doctors remind that in addition to diabetic ketoacidosis, which is common in diabetic patients and occurs when blood sugar is high, some patients with chronic kidney disease may also suffer from hyperkalemia due to eating too much fruit.

“Fruit meal replacement” is not advisable. How much fruit should be consumed in a day?

The "fruit meal replacement" weight loss method was once very popular. Many people used fruit as the only source of calories for each meal, creating a calorie gap and achieving the goal of weight loss. If you eat like this for a long time, it will lead to nutritional imbalance in the human body. It is more appropriate to use fruit as a supplement to our three meals a day.

Doctors remind: No matter what kind of fruit it is, no matter how delicious it is, you should pay attention to the amount you consume and just supplement it in moderation.

The Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents recommends that adults should consume 200-350 grams of fruit every day. Common fruits, such as apples, pears, oranges, etc., of normal size, can be eaten 1-2 per day.
