A real sweet bomb.
Eating fruit every day remains universal advice, repeated by all nutritionists. But should we believe that everyone are equal for our health? According to a gastroenterologist trained at Harvard, the answer is no. The expert has established a most beneficial classification to the most harmful for the intestine and revealed that there is a fruit that he categorically refuses to consume. His message is clear: “Not all fruits are equal”, Some can even “Ravage on our digestive system”.
For him, the key is in the fiber content. The more a fruit contains, the better because it nourishes good intestinal bacteria and reduces blood sugar. In its ranking, we find in mind blueberries and grenades, very rich in antioxidants. These two fruits have the advantage of reducing inflammation, supporting the immune system and limiting the risks of cardiovascular disease. In contrast, others are much less flattering for our body.
The grapes, for example. If it brings vitamin C and potassium, its global nutritional contribution remains limited according to Dr. Saurabh Sethi and its effect on blood sugar is not negligible. But the “worst” according to him is too ripe bananas. The doctor banish them from his diet. As he explains on Instagram, when it is too ripe, the banana loses its resistant starch, a carbohydrate which, by fermenting in the large intestine, acts as a prebiotic and strengthens the diversity and the health of the microbiota. It also becomes a real sweet bomb and increases blood sugar. Researchers even compared it to a “Mars bar with yellow skin”. The consequences are not trivial: less fiber, a slowed down transit and a private intestine from its natural allies.
The specialist in digestive diseases and recognized researchers never eats in this state and recommends that they prefer them slightly green. They are then richer in fiber and less problematic for blood sugar. He also advises other fruits such as apples, pears or melons to whom he attributes medium notes. The Kiwi also draws its pin from the game thanks to its richness in soluble, effective fibers against constipation and beneficial for the regularity of transit.
