Welcome to a series here on Making Fit Work where I’ll be breaking down some of the most popular health & fitness myths out there so you can pay attention to what really matters on your own journey.

This myth is a little surprising to me, but for some reason it seems to stick around: should you avoid eating fruit because it has too much sugar? I don’t know about you, but I’ve never met anyone who is starting a health and fitness journey because they over-indulged in too many apples or too many smoothies. Of course fruit has sugar, and you can definitely be mindful of when you’re consuming it, but there are so many benefits to getting in your daily servings of fruit. In fact, I think the real reason people are cutting out fruit is to avoid making the changes that will actually make a difference in living a healthier life.
