This is the time of year when the desire to lose weight gets stronger. The reasons are above all aesthetic but it cannot be denied that there are also health reasons. Being overweight creates discomfort and fatigue, particularly with the onset of heat. So it is natural that in this period we focus on nutrition to better face the summer. Everyone knows that fruits and vegetables are healthy foods. But are all fruits indicated in diets?
A health tip
5 servings and 5 colors. This is the WHO recommendation. It refers to the need to eat 5 portions of fruit and vegetables of different colors every day. It would ensure a supply of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants capable of preventing many diseases. The different colors give the body all the nutrients it needs, because different nutritional properties correspond to the color. It is estimated that with this diet there would be fewer cases of stroke and coronary heart disease, respiratory and intestinal disorders and various forms of cancer.
Dietitians also share the same line and include fruit and vegetables in their diets. In addition to being healthy, they are low in calories and perfect in a diet for weight loss. But are all fruits equally low-calorie? Not really. There are fruits rich in sugar such as banana or rich in fat such as coconut and avocado that should not be excluded from the diet but eaten in moderation.
Many do not eat this May fruit thinking it makes you fat without knowing that it is a friend of the diet and recommended by nutritionists
And the cherries? They are the most appetizing seasonal fruit and also the most awaited. Their seasonality begins in May and ends in July and then we have to wait a year to be able to eat more. And this makes them even more precious to us. They are deliciously sweet and therefore we wonder if they make you fat or not. They contain only 63 calories per 100 grams and we can eat them guilt-free. They are rich in minerals, especially potassium, an important regulator of blood pressure and heart rate. They contain anthocyanins, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory substances. Good protection against disease and aging. Eating them in the evening could help us sleep well because they also contain melatonin, a substance that regulates sleep. And they are a good remedy for constipation. Many do not eat this fruit but there are many good reasons not to exclude it from the diet.
