FAQs

1.Can eating too much fruit cause weight gain?
While fruits are nutrient-dense, consuming them in excessive quantities, especially those high in natural sugars, can contribute to calorie surplus and weight gain.

2.Are dried fruits as healthy as fresh fruits?
Dried fruits retain most nutrients but are higher in sugar and calories per serving due to water removal, so portion control is essential.

3.What is the best time to eat fruits?
Fruits can be consumed at any time, but eating them as a snack or with breakfast helps maintain energy levels throughout the day.

4.Can fruits help improve skin health?
Yes, fruits rich in antioxidants (like pomegranates) and vitamin C (like kiwi) promote collagen production and combat free radicals, enhancing skin health.

5.Are fruit juices as healthy as whole fruits?
Whole fruits are healthier because they contain fiber, which is often lost in juices, helping regulate blood sugar levels and improving digestion.


6.How many servings of fruit should I eat daily?
It's recommended to consume 2-3 servings of fruit daily as part of a balanced diet, depending on individual caloric needs.
