The fruit to lose weight, prevent cancer, control diabetes and cholesterol

Losing weight is the desire of many people and for this reason they look for quick recipes and diets to lose a few kilos in a short time, but it must be clarified that, in order to lose weight in a healthy way, you have to be patient and make changes in your eating habits.

That being said, One of the changes is in the diet and the recommendation is to have a caloric deficit (consuming fewer calories than the body consumes on a daily basis). In addition, to this must be added that it is advisable to exercise constantly.

For its part, it is valid to mention that preventing cancer in its entirety is not possible, but the chances of bad cells multiplying irregularly can be reduced, since genetic, nutritional and/or unhealthy activities influence his appearance.

Although the signs of this disease depend on the type of cancer that develops, there are some common ones such as nausea, fatigue and weight loss, among others.

As for diabetes, this is a disease with which blood sugar levels rise, according to the Ministry of Health and Social Protection of Colombia.

Likewise, the World Health Organization (WHO) revealed that there are several types of diabetes: type 2 diabetes mellitus, which is caused by the body not using the insulin it produces efficiently; and type 1 diabetes mellitus, which is characterized by poor insulin production.

In addition, because it is rich in quercetin, anthocyanins and tannins, it reduces the chances of suffering from cancer.
