Introduction
The ginseng fruit is a plant of the nightshade family, rich in vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, protein, polysaccharides, flavonoids, and saponins. It has effects such as enhancing immunity, antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory properties, delaying aging, and improving the intestinal environment. Ginseng fruit is a low-calorie food and contains dietary fiber, so it can be consumed in moderation during weight loss periods.
Generally speaking, people who are trying to lose weight can consume sweet fruit (Solanaceae fruit) in moderation. Details are as follows:
Sweet fruit belongs to the Solanaceae family and contains various nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber, offering multiple health benefits. It is considered a low-calorie food, making it an ideal fruit choice during weight loss. Consuming it in moderation generally will not increase daily caloric intake and helps control body weight. Sweet fruit contains a relatively high amount of dietary fiber, which is nearly indigestible in the human gastrointestinal tract but plays an important role. Dietary fiber increases the volume of food in the gastrointestinal tract, creating a feeling of fullness and reducing hunger, thus helping to control calorie intake.
Although sweet fruit is low in calories, it does contain a certain amount of sugar. Excessive consumption during weight loss may lead to excessive sugar intake, which could affect the effectiveness of weight loss. Additionally, because sweet fruit contains dietary fiber, individuals with weak digestion may experience indigestion or bloating after consumption. Those allergic to sweet fruit may develop symptoms such as rashes or difficulty breathing after consumption.
In daily life, during weight-loss periods, moderate consumption of sweet fruit can help increase satiety. However, weight loss cannot rely solely on dietary control; it also requires appropriate physical activity to enhance the body's metabolic level, which is more beneficial for weight loss.
