Fruits have been surrounded by myths for years. Let’s set the record straight with a science-backed approach inspired by Karviva’s commitment to ancient wisdom and modern research.
Myth: Fruits Cause Weight Gain
Truth: Whole fruits are nutrient-dense and can actually aid in weight management due to their fiber content. Processed fruit products with added sugars, however, can contribute to weight gain.
Myth: Eating Fruits Before Bed Helps Sleep
Truth: While some believe bananas aid sleep due to tryptophan, their tryptophan content is minimal. However, the natural sugars in fruit can provide a steady energy release, which may prevent nighttime cravings.
Myth: Mangoes Are “Toxic”
Truth: Some people experience allergic reactions to mango skin due to compounds similar to those in poison ivy, but mangoes themselves are safe and nutritious.
Myth: Fruit Juice is Just as Good as Whole Fruit
Truth: Juicing removes fiber, reducing its health benefits. That’s why Karviva’s juices retain as much whole-fruit integrity as possible.
