According to the World Health Organization, each adult should consume at least 2530g of fiber per day to prevent cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity and colon cancer. In particular, fruit is a source of easily absorbed soluble and insoluble fiber, suitable for daily diet.
The fiber in fruit helps slow down the digestion and absorption of sugar, thereby stabilizing blood sugar and preventing insulin spikes - a key factor in preventing type 2 diabetes. Fruits such as apples, pears, oranges, grapefruits and bananas contain pectin - a form of soluble fiber that helps improve digestive function and nourish the intestinal microbiome.
Research shows that a diet rich in fruit fiber helps reduce the risk of death from cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes and colorectal cancer by 1530. In particular, eating whole fruits such as apples and pears helps retain much higher fiber than fruit juice.
Fiber also effectively supports weight loss by creating a feeling of fullness for a long time, limiting snacking. Consuming at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day will meet your fiber needs without the need for functional foods.
Fruit is not only a delicious food but also plays a key role in supplementing natural fiber, helping to maintain digestive health, regulate blood sugar and prevent many chronic diseases.
Therefore, housewives should add fruit to their daily diet to support the health of family members.
