What are the unique health benefits of dry fruits? What are the side effects of having too much of dry fruits? Which essentials nutrients can be gained by consuming dry fruits? Parthik Sawhney replied. Eating too much of dry fruits is not good as it could lead to problems. Too much nuts can cause heartburn and acid reflux. Sometimes they may also trigger tension type headache attacks and migraine. This may be due to their high content of the amino acids tyramine and phenyethyamine.A lot of dry fruit such as raisins can lead to a spike in blood sugar levels and may also lead to weight gain. it is okay to eat a lot of real fruit, dried fruit contains more calories than regular fruit. so it is better to have dry fruits in moderation. Srinivasan sulu replied. My doctor has advised me to have dry fruits daily so as to fulfill all the nutritional requirements. I am afraid that eating dry fruits will lead to weight gain. I am already on the heavier side and I do not want to put on more weight. Dry fruits are high in calories so they will tend to add on to the weight. I am thinking of taking vitamin supplements.
