The Health Benefits of a Fruit Diet

By Jack Rowntree

Some people decide to put themselves on a fruit only diet for either a short period of time or part of a long-term plan. This is usually as part of a cleansing program in order to help maintain health and well-being. However, when embarking on such a diet there are ways to consume the fruit and types of fruit to eat to make the experience better.

I have met a lot of people who have decided to follow such a fruit diet and go out and eat vast quantities of fruit all in one go. All this does is to make you feel very bloated and windy.

The best way to approach this is to copy what grazing animals do and just eat small amounts of it frequently during the day. Small amounts regularly will prevent insulin surges which can make you feel more hungry. It will also prevent large amounts of fruit sitting in the stomach which can ferment and make you feel gassy and bloated.

A great way to get your daily requirements of fruit is by juicing. It is easy to get your full quota in a delicious refreshing drink. As fruit, especially in the liquid form, is easy to digest it places a lot less workload on the bowels. The result of this is that you can get the feeling of having much more energy. This is the reason why carbohydrate and protein heavy meals often make you feel tired and sluggish afterwards.

Different types of fruit can also affect your health and benefits. Organically grown fruit is free from chemicals and insecticides and are often grown in a good quality soil. You are, therefore, reducing the build up of these potentially toxic compounds in the body and you are reaping the full nutritious benefits from your fruit.

Organically grown fruit has also been shown to contain greater quantities of important vitamins and nutrients compared to those grown inorganically. Although organic fruit is more expensive than inorganic you do not actually need to consume as much of it to get the equivalent health benefits.

Variety is an important factor to consider if you decide to try a fruit diet. You will not only increase your chances of taking in a wider variety of nutrients you will also stop yourself from becoming bored too quickly. - 17273
