When is the best time to eat apples? It is best to eat apples in the morning, or in the morning. In fact, it is better to eat fruit in the morning than in the afternoon and evening. There is a good saying: gold in the morning, silver in the afternoon and scrap iron at night. Because people's digestive ability is still relatively strong in the morning, but at night, they will go to bed immediately after eating, and their digestive ability will decline. If they eat too many apples at night, they will digest slowly and rot and ferment easily. If you are a person with strong digestive ability, you can still eat it at night. After all, "copper and iron" also has some value.
Eating apples before meals is better than eating apples after meals. If you don't have stomach problems, hyperacidity and indigestion, you can eat some apples before meals, which not only makes you feel full, but also promotes the absorption of nutrients in apples. For people who want to lose weight or gain weight, eating apples before meals can also reduce their food intake. It is best to eat apples after meals 1 hour or more, because if you eat fruits immediately after meals, protein and fat in food will be digested slowly, which will affect the digestion and absorption of apples and may also lead to flatulence.

Although apples are good, eating too much will also affect your health. Apples are good, but you can't eat too much at once. Because just ripe apples contain a certain amount of tannic acid and fruit acid, if you eat too many apples, there will be more tannic acid, and tannic acid will combine with protein to form water-insoluble tannic acid protein. This tannic acid has a large protein, which is difficult for the body to absorb, so it will affect the absorption of protein. Too much tannic acid and fruit acid will also affect the stomach and intestines, which will form an extremely viscous gelatinous substance with gastric acid and form a lump with fiber components in food. Therefore, children had better choose ripe apples.
