How Much Fruit Should You Eat per Day? | The Nutritarian Diet | Dr. Joel Fuhrman

On the Nutritarian diet, the last thing Dr. Joel Furhman would want to see you do is overeat. And when it comes to healthy sugar. . . How much fruit is too much?

Here's a clue. Dr. Joel advocates a whole food, plant-based diet that prevents and reverses diseases. A nutrition that undoubtedly also promotes longevity. That means the Nutritarian diet is not much of a fruit-based diet, but for the most part, a vegetable-based one. Still, balance in diet is king.

Keep watching to know what this balance looks like — and more.

The healthier your diet in carotenoids (a group of pigments responsible for the rich color in many fruits and vegetables) the greater the likelihood of longer telomeres (DNA sequences at the end of chromosomes). The length of telomeres is thought to be an indicator of biological aging—the longer the telomere length, the slower the aging of cells. Many studies have connected a healthy diet and lifestyle behaviors to longer telomeres.

Fruit makes me crave foods all day long. I can only handle a small amount of berries or a green apple from time to time. I prefer a low sugar plant based diet. I also don't do well with sweet potatoes or sweet squashes. I stick with veggies, black rice, quinoa. I do fine with white potatoes.

Eating fruit after a vegetable meal is a digestive disaster for me personally. I have to eat fruit first, let it digest, then eat any vegetables and wait a few hours after a vegetable meal to then eat fruit again, if I want. Never immediately after.

I agree 100% that we should eat a variety of fruits and vegetables but 1 to 2 pieces of fruit per day sounds limiting on the fruit scale.

I thrive off fruit all day. Just don’t combine fruit with fats or starches. Digestive time is very important. I eat melons alone because they take the least amount of digest time. Food combination is very important. Fruit and fruit veggies are life.

Excellent. Eat to sustain good health. Eat plants... not too much.

[JosephNJ]

Vegetables > fruit, makes perfect sense.

This summer I have been eating 4 to 8 peaches per day.
In winter I eat 4 to 6 apples before meal. During the whole year I work night shift, so to not fall asleep I always have with me home made 3 banana smoothey. Am I doing wrong ?.

[zachariahonga]

Dr., i thought it was not ok to combine fruits (sugary fruits) with vegetables???

[donatina]

Oh no I cannot agree with that doc. Sorry, if I eat fruit after a meal I throw up. Been there, tried that, can only confirm. Only for breakfast, on an empty stomach,

[jthierma]

As long as you eat meat, its fine to eat some fruit

[a.s.vanhoose]

Few would disagree with the science supporting the idea of including vegetables in our diet but what peer reviewed literature does he have supporting the claim that the body needs the amount of phytochemicals derived from a vegetable based diet?

[macheo]

Are beans and soybeans only thing that vegan eats? Beans are one of the most disgusting food on planet, because of that people must add lot of unhealthy spaices, can’t imagine this guy hunting in forest and supporting his family 😅
