What is your excuse of not having fruits?

There is always a past to the disliking of present- so do share your excuses in the comment.

Well my 6 classic excuses were

  1. Too many seeds in the fruits.

  2. It is mostly sweet

  3. It makes you put on weight

  4. Even Constipation

  5. Too much of work to peel cut and eat

  6. Someone cut and give it to me, I will have it

Lets come out of these excuses, these are not pains but these are friends.

It took sometime for me to understand.

Few Important things to remember-

Glycemic Index and Glycemic load - this twin term rules the diabetec world.

GI scores should be less than 55 and GL score should be less than 10 for the fruits.

Apparently all the fruits falls under this category, which is a good sign.

Together they determine the Carb value of each fruits and based on the same, I have picked the frutis which are not only lower in GI but also lower in GL. And certainly these magical fruits should not be avoided.

So based on the Glycemic parameters

These are the 6 fruits that tops the chart-

  1. Apple -

There’s a reason why apples are one of world’s favorite fruits.

In addition to satisfying your need for crunch, one apple with the peel provides nearly 20 percent of your daily fiber needs. Bonus — apples help to feed your healthy gut bacteria!

Do not peel the apple, and should be eaten with the skin, but ensure it is washed properly.

No wonder why people used to say An Apple a Day Keeps the doctor away.

Different types of apples-Shimla Apple, Manali apple, Red delicious, Royal Gala, Fiji apples.

2. Orange-


Oranges are an excellent source of vitamin C.

One large orange provides over 100% dietary requirement of Vit C.

Oranges are a healthy source of fiber, vitamin C, thiamine, folate, and antioxidants.

They have multiple health benefits.

Oranges are a good source of fiber.

One large orange (184 grams) packs around 18% of the daily requirement.

Different Types of oranges- Nagpur oranges, Valencia, Kinnu oranges

3. Pears



Enjoy the rich, subtle sweetness of pears, whether fresh or gently baked.

They’re healthiest with the peel on,

providing over 22 percent of your recommended daily fiber intake.

Pears offer dietary fiber, including prebiotics,

which promotes bowel regularity, constipation relief, and overall digestive health.

To get the most fiber from your pear, eat it with the skin on

Different types of Pears-Green’anjou, Red Anjou, Asian Pears

And here are few ways to cut apples-


Sweetlime-The acid content in mosambi is recognized to eliminate

toxins through the bowel tracts. Moreover,

the fruit consists of dietary fiber which helps the roughage to

act like a purgative cure

for those struggling with bowel problems.

Lime juice with a pinch of salt is usually suggested to individuals along

with constipation problems.

Mosambi juice could be valuable in case of diabetes as well

And here are ways to peel the oranges.

Pomegranate-They contain a lengthy list of beneficial plant compounds,

such as flavonoids, tannins, and lignans.

These have strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties

that help fight free radicals and reduce risk of chronic disease

One high quality study found that people experienced significantly

lower levels of inflammation after drinking 8.5 ounces (250 mL) of pomegranate juice per day for 12 weeks, compared with a placebo (81Trusted Source).

Types of Pomegranate- Ganesh, Arakta

And here are the ways to deseed pomegrante.


Water melon-Watermelon is a highly nutritious summer favorite.

It’s an abundant source of antioxidants, such as vitamins A and C, beta carotene, ‘

and lycopene.

It’s also a good source of potassium and magnesium.

watermelon has a uniquely high water content. Almost 92%

A single wedge (434 grams) provides 13.4 ounces (395 mL) of water. Since it’s high in both water and potassium, it can help hydrate and replenish electrolytes after a workout or on a hot summer day.

Here are ways to cut watermelon-

Kiwi

Strawberries

Plums

Peaches Rockmelon

All these have low GI and GL

80-120 gms of fruits or half a glass of juice is real good for health.

And hence I called it Magical fruits, I am sure you will agree with me.
