Are There Any Health Benefits From Dried Fruit?

Hi Guys,

Today I will be looking at dried fruits and their health benefits.

 Are there actually any benefits to eating dried fruit?

 The answer to that is quite simply yes!!

Dried fruit  has been shown to help prevent cancer.

Raisins are a great way to help prevent constipation.

When eaten they absorb water which help to give relief to the stomach. 

Be wary of eating too much dried fruit because they contain a lot of fructose or fruit sugar and so can lead to weight gain.

If you are diabetic you need to  be especially careful.

The next common dried fruit to look at are dates.

Dates are beneficial in improving sexual stamina.

A handful of dates, when soaked in fresh goat's milk for the night and then grinded in the same milk with cardamom powder and honey, becomes a very useful tonic for increasing sex stamina.


There are however some drawbacks of eating dried fruit.

Do NOT eat more than a couple of handfuls because this can lead to increased weight gain.

It is so easy to just keep on eating them but you must not.

You need fiber in your diet to improve regularity and promote bowel health, but too much fiber bothers your gut, especially if you do not normally consume high-fiber foods.

Dried fruits tend to be high in fiber.

 The other thing to watch out for is that all the fructose in dried food can lead to tooth decay

It is always worth drinking plenty of water when you eat dried fruits.

Like with any other food you have to watch how much you eat.

Never eat too much.

Speak to you tomorrow.
