Fruit is known as "nature's sugar" - it's healthy, sweet and delicious - but it's also a simple sugar.

Since many fruits metabolize quickly, they cause blood sugar levels to spike (some more than others).

So it's best to pair fruit with complex carbs and protein - to lessen the impact on your metabolism and blood sugar levels.
