In the eyes of many people, [eating fruit] is not simple…
One said [eating fruit before meals can reduce weight], another said [eating fruit on an empty stomach hurts the stomach];
It is said here that [eating fruit after meals will cause stomach distension], while it is said there that eating fruit after meals will help digestion];
Others say [eating fruit in the morning is gold, eating it in the evening is rubbish]?
Heart! Okay! Tired!
When does what eat?
The answer is actually simple and crude:
If you don’t have gastrointestinal diseases or blood sugar problems, you can eat fruits in what.
1. Eating on an empty stomach hurts the stomach?
This statement is mainly worried about the high tannic acid and acidity in fruits, which will hurt the stomach.
But in fact, if you don’t have the problem of hyperacidity and don’t eat persimmon, a fruit with high tannic acid, on an empty stomach, you don’t have to worry at all.
2. Does eating after meals affect digestion?
Rumor has it that if you eat fruit after a meal, the fruit will be stuck in your stomach by the food you ate before, which is easy to cause abdominal distension or constipation.
The reality is that as long as you don’t eat too much and eat a lot of fruit, it’s not that serious at all. The main ingredients in fruit are water and sugar, which are better absorbed than protein and fat.
3. Eat toxins at night?
Rumor has it that eating fruits at night is indigestible and easy to accumulate toxins, increasing the burden on the stomach and liver.
This statement is totally nonsense. The body’s digestion ability is related to gastrointestinal peristalsis, but not to eating time.
If it is not convenient to eat fruit when working outside at ordinary times, you can rest assured to eat it at night.
In short, there is no strict taboo about the time to eat fruit. It is good for you and your body to be happy:
As long as it conforms to your living habits, your body and intestines and stomach are not uncomfortable. It is no problem to eat before meals, after meals and with meals.
Two simple suggestions are given for reference:
- Breakfast: Considering that most people don’t eat breakfast very seriously, it is better to add fruit, an orange or an apple for breakfast or in the morning. Between meals: a little [hungry] and not at the meal point, eat some fruit ~ much better than snacks such as biscuits and cakes, and can also relieve hunger and avoid overeating at the next meal.
Although fruit is good, eating too much will make you fat.
As we all know, fruits are nutritious and rich in various vitamins and minerals, as well as dietary fiber and various antioxidant substances such as polyphenols and flavonoids beneficial to health.
But like all foods, eating too much will make you fat.
Moreover, an embarrassing fact is that when eating fruit, it is easy for people to relax their vigilance and eat too much.
For example, holding watermelons and digging to eat them, to solve the problem of half a watermelon for a minute, this is one or two kilos of watermelon meat…
The Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents say: It is good to eat 200 ~ 350 grams of fresh fruits every day.
This weight refers to the edible part, excluding the peel and core.
Simply put, it is about the amount of 1 medium-sized apple + 1 orange.
If it is cut fruit, don’t exceed 1 lunch box a day.
Of course, if you especially like fruits, you can also eat more, but remember to reduce the amount of staple food: eat less than half a bowl of rice.
Is it best to eat what fruit?
As for which fruit is the best, don’t care.
Different fruits have their own advantages in nutrition and taste.
Dr. Clove’s advice is: Choose fresh fruits of the season and eat different fruits in combination with personal preferences.
The reason why off-season fruits are not recommended first is not because they are harmful to health, but because they are… expensive.
Don’t like fruit, can you drink fruit juice?
Not recommended.
During the juicing process, some nutrients and antioxidants will be lost, which is inevitable even for the original juicer of [Gao Da Shang].
Moreover, fruit juice does not concentrate all the nutrients in fruits, but concentrates all the sugar and calories.
A cup of freshly squeezed orange juice takes almost 3 or 4 oranges to squeeze it out. Eating an orange is half full, while drinking a cup of orange juice is almost not full, but drinking the calories of 4 oranges.
However, to some extent, fruit juice lowers the threshold for eating fruit. If you drink it correctly, it is also a way to eat fruit.
Please choose homemade vegetable and fruit juice: fruit quantity (no more than daily limit) + large amount of vegetables, eat together with dregs.
As for the [fruit juice drinks] on the market, most of them are sugar water + a small amount of fruit juice, so don’t choose them.
