We do know that fruits give us essential nutrients and we are encouraged to consume them daily. It is recommended to have 2 servings a day, but you may ask, "how much is in a serving?" When comes to know how much fruits to consume, it is important to know the recommended portion size. Fruits are good for health, but they may cause unnecessary weight gain due to the fruit sugar content when eaten excessively. Always choose fresh fruits instead of dried or preserved fruits as well as fruit juice. Edible skin on the fruits is a good source of fibre which aids in digestion.
