Have you eaten watermelon by sprinkling salt on it or adding chaat masala to guava in summer? Have you tasted melon mixed with sugar? Often people cut and eat fresh fruits or make salads from them. To make fruit salad, people sprinkle chaat masala or salt on cut fruits. This increases the taste of the fruit. At home, we also make salad by cutting onion, cucumber, etc., and adding salt to it. Many times people add sugar to cut fruits to further increase the sweetness of the fruit. If you also like to eat cut fruits by adding sugar, salt, or chaat masala on top, then be careful. Consuming such fruits can be harmful to health. Know the right way to consume fruits so that your health is not adversely affected.
Disadvantages of eating fruits mixed with salt
According to experts, when salt is sprinkled on cut fruit, it starts releasing water. Due to this, the nutrients present in the fruit get destroyed. At the same time, sodium present in salt or chaat masala affects the kidneys. If you mix chaat masala with salt, then the amount of sodium in the body increases, because chaat masala also contains salt.
Disadvantages of consuming sugar mixed with fruits
The fruit has a natural sweetness. Glucose is also found in fruits, which increases calories. In such a situation, if you add sugar to the cut fruits, it increases the amount of sweetness in the body. This may increase the problem of diabetes. Excess sugar also increases weight. For patients suffering from diabetes, eating fruits mixed with sugar can be harmful.
How to eat fruits
There is a right way to consume fruits. People often eat a salad made of fresh fruits with food. Indian food is rich in carbs and calories. But when we consume fruits with food, carbs and calories increase. In such a situation, you can reduce the amount of carbs in food and eat fruits along with it. Otherwise, do not eat food and fruits by mixing them.
