How does diabetes develop??
Fresh fruit is a good complement to the daily meals. Fruits contain many fibers and antioxidants and provide the body with essential micro-nutrients, say the authors. The latest study found that consuming fruit may protect against the risk of developing diabetes. Diabetes occurs when either the pancreas is unable to secrete enough insulin or when the cells of the body become resistant to insulin.

Fresh fruits can reduce the risk of diabetes by up to twelve percent
According to the researchers, daily consumption of fresh fruits reduces the risk of developing diabetes by about 12 percent. For the study, the scientists examined 500,000 people from China.

Do not contain fruits too much sugar?
We know that fresh and seasonal fruits are good for our health, but many people do not consume because of the high sugar content, say the scientists. Fruits contain natural sugar in the form of fructose. Some experts believe that too much fructose can be harmful.

Positive effects of the consumption of fresh fruits
However, the current study proves that daily consumption of a fresh fruit bowl can help reduce the risk of diabetes and diabetes-related complications such as heart disease, stroke, kidney disease and eye disease. The risk of diabetes complications has been reduced by 13 to 28 percent by consuming fruit, the researchers add.

Diabetics can protect themselves from premature death by consuming fruits
During their investigation, the physicians found that in people with diabetes, consuming fresh fruit more than three days a week reduced the relative risk of premature death by 17 percent. The researchers also found that regular consumption of healthy people in healthy people leads to a reduction in the absolute risk of diabetes by an estimated 0.2 percent over a five-year period.

Which fruits are particularly suitable for diabetics?
You should eat at least one hundred grams of fresh fruit between your breakfast and lunch. Especially for diabetics, it is particularly important that they eat frequently but still control their calorie intake. Nutritionists explain that the best fruits for diabetics are pomegranates, grapes, apples, blueberries, strawberries, guava, watermelons, cherries, papaya and oranges. (As)
