Antiobesity Fruit & Nuts – Obesity is exponentially increasing regardless of its preventable characteristics. The current measures for preventing obesity have failed to address the severity and prevalence of obesity, so alternative approaches based on nutritional and diet changes are attracting attention for the treatment of obesity.
Epidemiological research has consistently shown that most types of fruit & nuts have anti-obesity effects. Thus, due to their anti-obesity effects as well as their vitamin and mineral contents, health organisations are suggesting the consumption of fruit for weight reduction purposes.
These contradictory characteristics of fruit with respect to human body weight management motivated us to study previous research to understand the contribution of different types of fruit to weight management. In this section read about the relationships between fruit & nuts and their anti-obesity effects.
