Oranges and other citrus fruits are known to have high vitamin C content and antioxidants. However, these fruits can cause acid reflux, heartburn and other similar issues as they have high acid content.
Avocados are a nutritional treat which can be added to various recipes. But if you are a calorie-conscious person, these are not for you. Avocados have high-calorie content due to the monounsaturated fats they have.
The deliciously sweet and juicy lychees can be a dangerous fruit. They contain hypoglycin A, which is a natural toxin and can lower the blood sugar level considerably. It is advisable not to have them on an empty stomach.
While fresh coconut is packed with nutrients and is beneficial to health, dried coconut has a significant amount of saturated fats and calories. It can lead to weight gain and heart disease if consumed in large quantities.
Dates contain high natural sugar and are considered a good natural sweetener. However, they can cause a spike in blood sugar levels which may be harmful to people with diabetes or the ones at risk.
