Fruits 101
We get questions on fruit more than you would think. So here is a little run down from our Seva Nutrition Plan to help you figure out fruits!
Fruits are another form of carbohydrates because of the sugars that enter the body as you break down and digest fruit. Chalk full of vitamins, minerals, boost your energy, and can help your digestive system. Here are our tips on keep’n it fruity!
1) The best time to eat a bounty of fruit is either first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, or as a mid-morning snack - in between breakfast and lunch. It’s a good idea, to just eat more fruit at one time, whether it’s fruit salad, an apple or a fruit smoothie. 3-4 servings of fruit is a proper daily requirement, that’s 2 1/2 - 2 cups of fruit.
2) Try to avoid eating fruit close to bedtime as there’s plenty of sugar in fruit to spike up your energy and keep you up when you need your sleep.
3) If you are craving something sweet go for it though! Much better to have a piece of fruit than refined sugars.
Hope this helps your sweet tooth and your fruit whoas.
