Incidentally, nutritionists ask children to get used to eating fruits from an early age. Because the fruit has multiple nutritional properties. It is rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants. For this reason, fruit pairing is important in keeping the body healthy. So all ages should eat fruits regularly. Koel Pal Chowdhury said that several diseases can be said goodbye through this.

Fruit should always be eaten whole. Only then is it fully nourished. Drinking the juice loses a lot of its quality. Not even the benefits of fruit fiber. So it is good not to eat fruit with juice. Eat whole fruits instead. By eating whole fruits, the storehouse of vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants directly enters the body. Koel Pal Chowdhury said that the body's nutritional deficiency is solved and it gives strength to fight against various diseases.

Diabetes patients have no end of problems. Almost all their delicacies are forbidden. Rumors are spreading that they don't even eat fruit juice. However, Koel Pal Chowdhury did not want to give any importance to this theory. According to him, diabetic patients should avoid eating fruits with high glycemic index. Because eating such fruits increases blood sugar quickly. This list includes several fruits including litchi, jackfruit, sabeda. So none of these fruits or fruit juices can be consumed.

However, the juice of fruits with low GI (Glycemic Index) can be consumed. In this case, there are several fruits like guava, apple which have low GI. He said that diabetic patients do not have any problem by eating such fruit or fruit juice.

And remember, fruits cannot be eaten on an empty stomach or on a full stomach. Instead, eat fruit between two meals. That is to eat between breakfast and lunch or between lunch and dinner. You can stay healthy.
