 You never need to worry about eating too much sugar in whole fruit form. The fibrin fruit has a gelling effect within the stomach, slows the release of sugars, and there are polyphenol phytonutrients in certain fruits that actually slow the absorption of sugar through the gut wall. For week four, the Daily Dozen Challenge, your challenge is to add at least three servings of fruit to your day. Good news for you orange lovers in take of citrus is being associated with a reduced stroke risk, even more so than apples. Not that I would ever compare the two. We should strive. We have a variety of fruits and vegetables every day because they all have a unique combination of phytonutrients, so including a variety of them helps to maximize the health benefits we get from eating them. Remember to use the hashtag Daily Dozen Challenge for all your posts. We will share a wrap up of each week's challenge post to our stories on Friday.
