Consuming fruits that have begun to rot, or fruits like strawberries, mulberries, or sliced watermelon that lack dust/fly protection and thorough washing/disinfection, can easily lead to digestive tract infections such as dysentery, typhoid fever, and acute gastroenteritis.
Preference for Alcohol Disinfection
While alcohol can kill surface bacteria on fruit, it alters color, aroma, and flavor. Reactions between alcohol and fruit acids also diminish nutritional value.
Eating Fruit Without Peeling
Some believe fruit peels contain higher vitamin levels than flesh, leading them to consume fruit with skin intact.However, when fruits are affected by pests or diseases, pesticides are often sprayed. These pesticides can permeate and accumulate in the waxy layer of the skin, resulting in significantly higher pesticide residue levels in the skin compared to the flesh.Moreover, rust on the knife reacts chemically with the tannins in apples, causing them to lose color, aroma, and flavor. Eating fruit immediately upon waking Some people habitually eat fruit right after waking up. However, most fruits are cooling foods, and consuming them immediately after waking can irritate the stomach and intestines. It's best to eat fruit around 3 or 4 p.m., as this facilitates better absorption and utilization of nutrients.
Overconsumption of fruit by obese individuals
Those who eat only fruit should be cautious about developing conditions common among overweight individuals, such as high blood sugar or high blood lipids. Since fruit is inherently rich in sugars, consuming excessive amounts of sugary foods combined with insufficient exercise can lead to elevated blood sugar or lipid levels. This is particularly important for obese individuals, those with diabetes, hyperlipidemia, or fatty liver disease, as well as women attempting fruit-only diets for weight loss and pregnant women.
