8 Types of Fruit The More You Eat, The More Harmful Your Health Is
Live Healthy
I invite everyone to follow the channel Live Healthy Live Well. Fruits are packed with nutrients, fiber, and vitamins, contributing to both physical and mental well-being while lowering disease risk. Including fruits in your daily diet can greatly enhance your health. However, consuming them excessively just for enjoyment can lead to negative consequences. Some fruits can become harmful if eaten in large amounts, so it's essential to adopt a balanced diet for your own health and that of your family.
Here are eight fruits that can be harmful if overconsumed. First is the orange. Research indicates that eating too many oranges can increase the risk of kidney stones. This is mainly due to the high vitamin C content, which can lead to oxalate stone formation in the urinary tract. Additionally, eating excessive amounts can damage teeth and raise blood sugar levels. It's particularly advisable to avoid oranges on an empty stomach, as their juice can irritate the stomach and disrupt digestion.
Next is the banana. Overeating bananas may cause headaches because they contain substances like tyramine that can expand blood vessels and increase blood flow to the brain. Ripe bananas have higher levels of tyramine, making them more likely to trigger headaches. Eating them in moderation and avoiding those that are overly ripe is best. While bananas are rich in vitamin B6, excessive intake can lead to nerve damage and other health issues.
Plums are another fruit to be cautious with. They are high in amino acids, and consuming too many can harm your stomach and tooth enamel. Children with sensitive stomachs are particularly vulnerable, and eating too many plums can lead to complications. Pregnant women should also limit their intake, as excessive consumption can cause rashes and other health risks. Plums contain oxalic acid, which interferes with calcium absorption and may contribute to kidney stones.
Watermelon is well-known for its refreshing properties but should also be eaten in moderation. While it provides many health benefits, eating too much can lead to bloating, diarrhea, and a loss of appetite. With its high water content, excessive watermelon can dilute stomach acids, impairing digestion, especially in those with existing digestive issues. Furthermore, a high potassium intake from too much watermelon can disrupt heart function and the nervous system.
In today’s video, I will talk about the advantages of eating apples. When is the best time to enjoy this fruit? Here are the apples I got; they taste great. I’ll highlight the benefits of including apples in your daily diet. This fruit is available year-round and is simple to eat, making it a perfect snack or dessert. Research indicates that apples can help prevent high blood pressure and arteriosclerosis, making them an ideal choice for pregnant women. They are rich in potassium, which helps regulate sodium levels in the blood, ultimately lowering blood pressure.
Apples are beloved and widely eaten around the world. Beyond their delicious flavor, they offer various nutrients, including carbohydrates, fiber, antioxidants, vitamin C, and minerals. When hunger strikes, apples make for an excellent snack, contributing to their status as one of the most consumed fruits globally. Their versatility allows for countless dishes, from apple pie to ice cream. You can eat them raw, peel them, or enjoy them with the skin on after washing. To prepare them, soak the apples in diluted salt water for 10 to 15 minutes and rinse them again if desired.
In terms of nutrition, every 100g of unpeeled apple contains 52 calories, 10.4g of sugar, 2.4g of fiber, 0.3g of protein, 0.2g of fat, 8% of daily vitamin C, and 1% of potassium and magnesium. With such a beneficial nutritional profile, eating apples daily is effective. Many wonder if it’s good to eat apples when hungry. Research suggests that having an apple in the morning on an empty stomach is ideal. Apples are high in fiber and pectin, found mostly in the skin, which aids digestion. A morning apple can stimulate bowel movements, making it a good habit.
Eating apples first thing can also help protect against lactic acid buildup, promoting gut health. They assist in eliminating toxins, potentially reducing cancer risk. For an added boost, consuming an apple before breakfast can be beneficial. Apples support heart health by preventing artery clots and reducing plaque buildup, which is a leading cause of coronary artery disease. This benefit comes from phenolic compounds in the skin that prevent bad cholesterol from accumulating in the blood vessels.
Additionally, eating apples lowers the risk of strokes and diabetes, according to studies. Lastly, they provide a good energy boost.

I Stopped Chasing Success the Day I Learned the “Two-List Rule”
M Mehran For years, I thought successful people were just better at life than me. More focused. More disciplined. More motivated. They woke up early, crushed goals, stayed consistent, and somehow still had energy left at the end of the day. Meanwhile, my to-do list looked like a crime scene. Dozens of tasks. Half-finished ideas. Big dreams written in neat bullet points—and zero follow-through. Every night, I’d rewrite my to-do list, convinced tomorrow would be different. Tomorrow never was. Until one quiet afternoon, when a single question exposed the real problem. The Question That Changed Everything I was sitting in a café, staring at my notebook like it had personally betrayed me. A man at the next table—older, calm, unbothered—noticed my frustration and said something unexpected: “Do you actually need to do all that?” I laughed awkwardly. “Of course. That’s my plan.” He shook his head and smiled. “That’s not a plan. That’s anxiety on paper.” Then he shared a rule I’ve never forgotten. The Two-List Rule He said: “At the start of every week, I write two lists. One list for what matters. One list for what distracts.” I raised an eyebrow. He continued: “Most people mix these into one list—and then wonder why they feel exhausted and unfulfilled.” That hit harder than any motivational quote I’d ever read. List One: The Three That Actually Matter He explained that his first list never had more than three items. Not ten. Not twenty. Three. These were the things that, if completed, would make the week feel meaningful—even if nothing else got done. Examples: Finish one important project Have one honest conversation Take care of health in one clear way Everything else? Went on list two. List Two: The Noise List The second list was brutally honest. Emails. Scrolling. Meetings that could’ve been messages. Tasks done only to feel “busy.” He called this list “productive-looking distractions.” That phrase rewired my brain. Because suddenly, I saw the truth: I wasn’t lazy. I was just busy with the wrong things. Trying the Rule (With Zero Expectations) That night, I went home and tried it. List One (Three Things That Matter): Write 500 honest words Exercise for 20 minutes Call my mother List Two (Everything Else): Emails. Cleaning. Social media. Random errands. Overthinking. For the first time, my to-do list didn’t scare me. It felt… calm. The Unexpected Freedom of Doing Less The next day, something strange happened. I didn’t rush. I didn’t multitask. I focused on the first item. Just one thing. When I finished it, I felt a quiet satisfaction—not the fake dopamine of checking off ten tiny tasks, but real fulfillment. By the end of the day, I had only completed two things from my big list. But I felt more accomplished than I had in weeks. Why This LifeHack Works Here’s the uncomfortable truth: Busyness is a defense mechanism. When you stay busy, you don’t have to face the fear of working on what actually matters—because meaningful things carry the risk of failure. Answering emails is safe. Scrolling is easy. Real work is scary. The Two-List Rule removes the illusion of productivity and replaces it with clarity. What Changed Over Time After a month of using this rule, my life didn’t become perfect—but it became intentional. I stopped feeling guilty for not doing everything I stopped overloading my days I started finishing important things I felt mentally lighter Most importantly, I stopped measuring my worth by how busy I looked. The Emotional Shift No One Talks About This lifehack didn’t just organize my schedule. It changed my relationship with myself. Every day I completed one meaningful task, I was proving something: I can trust myself. And trust is the foundation of confidence. Not hustle. Not motivation. Trust. How You Can Use the Two-List Rule Today You don’t need fancy tools. Just do this: Write down everything you think you need to do Circle only three things that truly matter Commit to those three—nothing else is mandatory Treat the second list as optional, not urgent That’s it. Final Thought Success isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing less—but better. The moment I stopped chasing productivity and started protecting what mattered, my life became quieter, clearer, and strangely more successful. If you feel overwhelmed right now, don’t push harder. Make two lists. And let the noise go.
