Domestic fruits such as watermelon, strawberry, peach, and plum are good for health
Fruits are rich in natural sugars and essential vitamins and minerals. They are among the best sources of carbohydrates for health. However, patients with diabetes, kidney disease, etc. should be extra careful. When consuming all foods, including fruits, you should follow the advice of experts such as doctors. The US health portal ‘WebMD’ introduced ‘9 good fruits to eat when you need to reduce carbs’.
1. Watermelon
15 grams of carbs counts as one serving. 100 grams of sweet potatoes (one medium-sized sweet potato) contains 20 grams of carbohydrates. By comparison, 100 grams of watermelon contains only 7.5 grams of carbohydrates. It is equivalent to 50% of 1 serving. Fruits that are high in water and fiber, such as watermelon, are lower in carbohydrates than other fruits. Watermelon is 92% water and is one of the fruits with the lowest carbohydrate percentage. It is also rich in vitamin A and vitamin C. People with no major health problems can eat a cup of watermelon (or 10 small chunks of watermelon).
2. Melon
If you eat 100g of melon, you only consume about 8g of carbohydrates. This is slightly less than a cup. Melon has no cholesterol and is low in sodium. It is rich in vitamin A, vitamin C and folic acid. You can make a smoothie snack by putting it in a blender with yogurt.
3. Strawberries
Eight medium-sized strawberries (or one cup) contain about 7 grams of carbs and as much vitamin C as an orange. It contains many nutrients that have anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and heart-protective roles. Strawberries in season in spring and summer are great food in themselves. If you eat strawberries soaked in chocolate, the carbohydrate level will rise, so be careful.
4. Blackberry
20 small blackberries (or one cup), fresh or frozen, contain less than 10 grams of carbs. Blackberries are high in antioxidants, fiber and low in fructose. Berries such as blackberries are less likely to cause stomach gas or indigestion.
5. Raspberry
One cup of raspberries contains 8 grams of fiber. Helps lower carbohydrate levels. One cup of raspberries equals one serving of carbs. It is also good to eat half a cup of raspberries with 8 strawberries. If you want to eat something fresh, buy a small amount and eat it all within a day or two.
6. Peach
One of the many benefits of low-carbohydrate fruit is that you can eat more of it than other foods. 100g of peach contains 0.5g of fiber and 8g of carbohydrates. One sweet and juicy peach (medium size) contains 50 calories, 1 gram of protein and 15% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C. There are no fat components. Eating it with cottage cheese makes it a high-protein, low-carb snack.
7. Avocado
Recently, pesticides have been detected in avocados from Peru and Colombia. However, since it has been recalled, it seems that avocados on the market can be safely eaten. If you are not sure, you can soak the avocado in water, take it out, wash it again under running water, and eat it. 100 grams of avocado (about one cup) contains 8.5 grams of carbs. Avocados are high in fiber, monounsaturated fats (good fats) and have more potassium than bananas. Kidney disease (kidney disease) patients should be especially careful.
8. Pineapple
100 grams (half a cup) of pineapple contains 11 grams of carbs. It is rich in manganese, an essential mineral that affects the nervous system, hormones, blood sugar and how the body absorbs calcium. It is a natural source of a mixture of enzymes (bromelain) that digest proteins.
9. Prunes
Plums are great to add to salads, yogurt, and smoothies. One plum (medium size) contains only 7.6 grams of carbs. It contains 100 mg of potassium. It is good for preventing high blood pressure and stroke. However, 100 grams of dried plums contain 64 grams of carbohydrates. Diabetics should be especially careful.
