Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query.

It is important to incorporate fresh fruits into your diet. There are many benefits like,

1. Consuming sugar in fruit form is not only harmless but helpful. Eating berries can blunt the insulin spike from high-glycemic foods, such as white bread because the fibers in fruits have a gelling effect in your stomach and small intestine that slows the release of sugars. Certain phytonutrients in fruits appear to block the absorption of sugar through the gut wall and into your bloodstream.

2. It will keep weight in check as fruits help in satiety levels and ease up digestion.

3. It helps in maintaining a healthy gut and kills free radicals as phytochemicals present in fruits help boost immunity.

You can either have smoothies, or mixed fruits, or custards.

Make sure you have two to three servings only per day and do not club it with the main course meal.

Hope it helps.

Thanks and regards.
