As a gastroenterologist I see so many gastrointestinal issues caused by smoothies. They also cause a lot of weight gain as they are usually high in calories. Just eat your fruits and vegetables.
- chihuahua 3y agoThis is very interesting. It's also refreshing to hear about food and nutrition from someone who has observed the effects in practice. Other than the calories, what's the problem with smoothies?
- hnfong 3y ago(I have no medical background) Another problem with smoothies is that they are blended, which speeds up absorption and causes blood sugar to spike. That forces your body to increase production of insulin, and spiky insulin increases the risk of blood sugar issues. If you just eat the fruits and veggies normally, the digestive system has a couple more hours to slowly absorb the calories and nutrients, helps smoothen things out a bit. And if you have to chew and eat the food, you probably end up consuming less of it.
