Having started looking at what I eat over the last few months Ive heard a few people use a statement similar to “any amount of fruit and veg is ok, you can eat too much”. Is that strictly true?
BlueSkies Response If you increase fruit intake too high too fast you’ll experience some uncomfortable and possibly embarrasing side effects! Ultimately 10-13 servings of vegetables and fruit a day would be fantastic but it may not always be feasible and is something one should build up to slowly to avoid shocking the digestive system with all the fibre. Focus on increasing veggies more than fruit as they have less sugars so will ferment less and are less likely to cause gas in the gut.
