As for dessert products, sweets, in which the sugar content is concentrated , then in old age they should prefer fruits, said Olga Tkacheva.
“Fructose contains fructose – it also increases glucose, but since it is also accompanied by the intake of a large amount of fiber, all this is absorbed less and excreted from the body faster,” the specialist explained to Moscow 24.
The representative of the Ministry of Health added that fiber, which is rich in many fruits, has a positive effect on the intestinal microflora and its peristalsis. Due to the coarse fibers of fiber, potential toxins are more efficiently removed from the body, which can make it stronger and also helps to prolong life.
