Can fruits be harmful to us?

Eating fruits in unlimited quantities is good! So many people think. Of course, fruits contain many useful vitamins and minerals, they are tasty, healthy. Can they be dangerous? For health - hardly, but for the figure, some of the fruits can be harmful. Many fruits contain a large amount of sugars. And this is not a secret. And even useful and easily digestible fruit sugars in large quantities can give a negative effect. Increased sugar content in excessively consumed fruits can turn into extra pounds at the waist or in some other place! The myth that fruits do not grow stiff are quite difficult to debunk, especially since he firmly sat in his head. That's why we violate strict diets with fruits: like they added vitamins, and made variety in a fresh diet, and did not get any harm ... But no, there are a lot of fruits with which you need to be very careful and in no case should they overeat , if you do not want to harm the figure.

The first for "harmfulness" in the lists of nutritionists is grapes. The grapes contain just a huge amount of sugars. Fresh grapes can cause fermentation in the stomach, accompanied by increased separation of gases. To avoid these unpleasant and unaesthetic consequences, there are grapes available only 2 or more days after its collection. Even compliance with these terms does not guarantee you that the stomach will normally take this fruit. "Podvodnyh stones" in grapes are still plenty: so grape cloves are digested for a long time, which again leads to fermentation in the stomach and increased gas production. Bones of grapes threaten to kill the intestines, and grape juice with a high content of acids adversely affects the state of the enamel of the teeth.

Unlimited absorption of apricots is also dangerous. It turns out that apricots can not only give pleasure to their tasty pulp, but also bring harm. Surely each of us in the childhood split apricot bones to get to a delicious nucleolus. It is in the bone that the main danger of apricots is the substance amygdalin. Being decomposed in the stomach, under the action of gastric juice, it forms hydrocyanic acid, which is a strong poison. And if a couple of grains do not cause harm, a large number of apricot kernels can trigger a sore throat, nausea, general weakness, headache or dizziness, and vomiting. In the most severe cases, overeating apricot kernels threatens seizures and loss of consciousness.

Not only in the bones of apricots we are trapped by danger: overeating of fruits on an empty stomach threatens to turn into indigestion. The combination of apricots with meat food or foods high in starch can lead to digestive problems. If you want to quickly clear the intestines, then try to eat apricots and drink them with cold water - cleansing will come immediately! If you do not pursue such goals, then refrain from such a "rattling" combination. As you can see, apricot is not - so simple, and it should be consumed with a certain degree of caution.

Watermelon, as for its nutritional properties, practically has no complaints from nutritionists. Nevertheless, the choice of watermelons is quite difficult and it is worth treating it with all the responsibility. The fact is that watermelon is able to absorb all the harmful substances used as fertilizers from the ground. It is necessary to refrain from eating the early watermelons and wait for the season. Early large watermelons contain a lot of nitrates instead of useful substances. In addition, watermelons, brought before the arrival of the watermelon season, are not really ripe and sweet. Often, they are plucked with green melons, and they "sing" along the way. So do not be scared of the first watermelons, they can cause poisoning, and certainly will not bring you pleasure.

On the other hand, the danger with respect to watermelon lies in wait in the way it is. Never need to mix watermelon and main food, because this can cause digestive problems. The combination of watermelon with bread causes increased gas formation. Well, not quite a negative property, but still somewhat uncomfortable: watermelon is an excellent diuretic. So if you have had a snack with watermelon, do not plan long walks, it is better to stay at home or near the house.

Bananas in general are in the "black" list of nutritionists. Bananas are very caloric, and by the amount of starch resemble potatoes. So on a banana diet you are unlikely to manage to lose weight. In addition, the substances contained in bananas increase the viscosity of blood and lymph, which can lead to varicose veins and thrombophlebitis.

Orange is also not as harmless as it seems. Unlimited consumption of oranges leads to weakening of the liver, it can not be eaten if you have a stomach or intestinal disease. The acid of orange juice destroys the tooth enamel, so you must rinse your mouth.

If we are too scared, do not be afraid. You do not need to completely abandon the consumption of fruit, but in this case your motto should be saying that everything is good in moderation.
