Many people think that dried fruits are less nutritious than fresh fruits, but in fact this understanding is wrong. Compared to fresh fruit, dried fruit does lose more vitamin C, but because of the concentration, the same weight of dried fruit contains more minerals and other trace elements than fresh fruit. Dried fruit is easier to store and carry because it is dehydrated, making it a great snacking companion for young and old alike.
Fresh fruit tends to contain more active proteases and also tannins, which can be quite destructive to the digestive tract mucosa. But dried fruit on the digestive tract of the stimulus is greatly reduced, which for indigestion and fear of cold people is the gospel, no longer have to worry about eating nausea or stomach pain. Dried fruit can be eaten directly as a snack, but also with milk, yogurt, sliced bread and other food, but also can replace sugar as a sweetener.
Husband is very busy at work and often has no time for lunch. I always slice the fruit before going to bed on the first night and feed it into the fruit dryer, and the next morning the dried fruit is ready, crunchy, sweet and sour. I put it in a little box for my husband to take with him, so even if I can't eat lunch on time, I can still have a few slices to tide me over for a while. In addition, as a small snack is also good, supplement a variety of nutrients at the same time, but also increase the plant fiber, promote bowel movements to help digestion. Eat dried fruit for 10 days, I do not know is this dried fruit, or because of the recent exercise time more, husband's color than the previous red, but also said that the stomach and intestines are also a lot of comfort.
Dried fruit has many benefits, but can not be consumed in excess, after all, its sugar content of about 70%, high calorie, eat 1 to 2 times a day, each time a small handful (15g) on the line, and ate it to lose a few mouthfuls of staple food, to avoid a day in the carbohydrates to eat too much.
