The dangers of overeating fruit: a therapist's comment
Fruits should be in the diet to saturate the body with vitamins, microelements and fiber. But you should not overeat, otherwise there is a risk of facing unpleasant consequences.
For example, symptoms of overeating and allergic reactions may begin to bother you.
Therapist Marina Konstantinova told Gazeta.Ru more about this.
The specialist noted that the fruits contain fructose, which can burden the liver if consumed in excess.
Therefore, women should eat no more than 200 grams of fruit at a time, and men should eat no more than 250 grams of fruit. It is believed that a portion should be equal to the size of a palm, but there should be no more than 3-4 portions per day.
For example, if you eat one apple, it is considered a tasty and healthy snack, but if a person decides to eat half a kilogram at once, he will experience diarrhea, bloating, and nausea.
As for citrus fruits, allergic reactions are possible (redness, itching, swelling, runny nose, etc.).
Sweet fruits in large quantities lead to irritation of the mucous membrane, and sweet ones lead to increased blood sugar levels and excess weight.
In addition, poisoning may occur if the fruits are treated with additives or spoiled.
It is also necessary to take into account that there is a category of people who should avoid fruit abuse for health reasons. We are talking about gastrointestinal diseases, diabetes, allergies, kidney and heart diseases. It is important to consult with doctors before making a diet.
