What if we Only eat Fruits? + more videos | #aumsum #kids #science #education #children

If you eat only fruits, you would be called a Fruitarian. Fruits are a major source of potassium, dietary fiber, Vitamin C and folate. Potassium helps in maintaining healthy blood pressure, thus reducing chances of a stroke. Dietary fiber helps in relieving constipation and reducing blood cholesterol levels, thus lowering the risk of heart diseases. Vitamin C is responsible for the growth and repair of body tissues. Folate is vital in the formation of red blood cells.

Now, on the flip side, as fruits contain high sugar content, they may prove to be harmful to diabetic patients. Also, eating a lot of them may lead to weight gain and tooth decay. Lastly, relying only on fruits may lead to nutritional deficiencies, which may further lead to immune system dysfunction.
