Candied fruit and preserved fruit are traditional snacks of our Chinese people from ancient times. To this day many candied snacks with packaging, placed inside the supermarket are sold very hot. Leisure time we watch TV or in the office, we like to eat some candied fruit.

Then it is healthy food or not. I think it has to be looked at in two ways.

First, the good side.

Preserved fruit is fruit after processing and production, containing a variety of beneficial sugar, very easy to be absorbed by the body, but also contains a variety of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and dietary fiber.

The fruit is made into preserves and candied fruits, which are convenient for supplementing vitamins and trace elements. Some preserved fruit can stimulate the secretion of saliva and gastric acid to promote digestion. Eating some appetizing small preserved fruits in summer can also reduce the heat.

Some people always like to eat something in their mouths when they are watching TV or doing thinking activities. Especially unhealthy junk food such as potato chips, sedentary snacking, increasing the risk of obesity. Candied fruit instead is the best choice, at least not as fat as junk food. More to fill the mouth without flavor.

Second, the bad side.

The production of candied fruit preserves requires the addition of a large amount of sugar or salt, non-stop eating these will cause a burden on the oral cavity, affecting the oral environment. Food residues can also corrode teeth.

In the supermarket to buy preserved fruit, often see the packaging contains most of the ingredients have a lot of sweeteners, preservatives and other additives, some unknown brands even have a long a large slip added ingredients.

See candied fruit relative to eating fruit can be too big a difference. Long-term consumption, or for children to eat candied fruit, it is not recommended.
