You wont have a balanced diet, you wont be as healthy and fit. You need five servings of fruits a day for a balanced diet along with other recommended vegetables and protein foods. Fruits supply many important vitamins as well as fiber. There are many advantages to getting these from fruits, besides the great tastes. The vitamin rich fruits contain enough of the essential vitamins that using them eliminates the need to eat larger quantities of other source foods, helping to reduce overall food intake, which most Americans need to do. The fiber in fruits is soluble, which means it is the right type of fiber to benefit your health. Fiber has been shown to be good for avoiding intestinal cancers, stabilizing blood sugars, keeping bowels regular and many other beneficial uses. You can also get specific vitamin deficiency diseases like scurvy and rickets if you don't eat enough fruits. An apple a day really can help keep the doctor away...
