Why Fruits are the Ideal Dessert after Every Meal?

Post meal is best. Do you agree? Is it a good idea to eat dessert after a meal?

Frequent ingestion of sweets is harmful to your body. Habitual reaching for sweets may contribute to gaining excess weight or obesity. However, the desire to improve your mood by ingesting sugar can also be a factor. Sweet snacks increase our production of the so-called hormone of happiness.

When it comes to dieting, dessert is likely the first thing you ditch. But how will you satisfy your cravings without gaining weight? Chowing down on that chocolate cake can make you guilty. So, what’s the best dessert for happiness?

Fruits are an excellent source of essential vitamins and minerals, and they are high in fiber. Fruits also provide a wide range of health-boosting antioxidants, including flavonoids. Antioxidants are essential for human health. These compounds mop up free radicals in the body that can damage the body’s cells and lead to diseases, such as cancers.

Researchers believe that the flavonoids in lemon and other citrus fruits have antibacterial, anticancer, and antidiabetic properties. Eating a diet high in fruits and vegetables can reduce a person’s risk of developing heart disease, cancer, inflammation, and diabetes. Citrus fruits and berries may be especially powerful for preventing disease.

People can enjoy eating desserts that can be guilt-free. Eating a wide variety of fruits can improve your health and lower the risk of inflammation, heart disease, cancer, obesity, and diabetes. So, what are you waiting for? Add fruits to your market/grocery list. Enjoy them especially those in season but not forget the principle of moderation. (ND II Nina Estela Lindsay Romero, RND)
