Fruit is a food type with high water content, low protein, and low fat, in which the nutrients are mainly vitamin C, carotene, and potassium, and contains various organic acids, aromatic substances, pigments, and dietary fiber, which not only provide important nutrients for the body but also enhance appetite and help digestion.

Fruit and vegetable salads are low in fat and calories, yet rich in vitamins and pectin, and they are regarded as the holy grail of weight loss because they feel full after eating them.

With the improvement of the quality of life, more and more people have started to like to use fruits to make fruit salad for consumption, because this is not only delicious, but also can help to lose weight, which is very friendly to obese girls, and the nutritional value of fruits is very high, healthy and delicious, so what specific benefits will fruit salad have?

The sugars in fruit include starch, sucrose, fructose and glucose. The starch content is high in immature fruit, and after maturation the starch is converted into monosaccharides or disaccharides. Fruits are rich in pectin, a type of dietary fiber, which has beneficial effects such as lowering blood lipids and draining cholesterol.

Compared to vegetables, the fruit has a higher sugar content, so the amount of fruit consumed should be controlled. 200-400g of fruit per day for adults is appropriate and should not be excessive.

It is easy to make a large bowl of fruit salad, which often exceeds the appropriate daily intake of fruit, and too much fruit can lead to excessive sugar intake. So let's discuss which fruit and vegetable salads are better for weight loss next.

Another thing to keep in mind when eating fruit salad is that we should add as little as possible to salad dressings, mayonnaise, and other sauces. Although salad dressings, mayonnaise, and thousand island dressings are sweet and refreshing, the calorie content is not to be underestimated.

A spoonful of such dressings has the same calorie content as 100g of rice, so eating fruit salad is a healthy thing, but adding too much salad dressing to it gives it an unhealthy meaning.
