We started a health campaign called the power of natural foods and has helped many to get health benefits from the food they eat rather than health risks. It is true that the food you eat has a great impact on your health, and choosing healthy foods can save you while unhealthy foods can ruin your body. After a healthy meal, you would wish to have healthy fruit desserts. But what are healthy fruit desserts?
Healthy fruit desserts are those desserts with fruits that are rich in fiber, have a great water content, vitamins and are relatively low in calories. The desserts have fruits such as avocado, bananas, pineapple, watermelon, berries, apples, mango, lemons, watermelon, olives, grapes, cherries, and others.
What to look for in a healthy fruit dessert.
Fiber: Foods that are high in fiber help keep satisfaction longer. This means that you will less likely be craving food till your next meal. This is a measure that many people use to control their calorie intake and weight gain.
Water content: since many people don’t drink enough water, getting it from desserts can help them meet their daily water requirements. Many fruits have a high water content with some reaching 92 %.
Vitamins: fruits are the best sources of vitamin C which is essential for skin health, lowering the risk of heart disease, boosts immunity, and other benefits.
Low calories: people who are on weight-loss diets usually restrict their calorie intake. Fruits most especially whole and fresh fruits are low in calories which makes them great for dessert.
When making a healthy dessert, you should have more fruits and less sugar. If possible, take advantage of the natural sugars in fruits and don’t add any sugar into your desserts.
While the taste is important, the nutrients got from your dessert should be the main focus.
