In fact, eating fruit on an empty stomach at night is not good for your health! At night, the gastrointestinal tract is at rest. At this time, the nutrients in the fruit, such as lactic acid, vitamins, plant protein, etc., can not be converted into substances needed by the human body in a short time, so it will be harmful to the body if it is deposited in the intestines and related tissues and organs.

Eating before meals is good for stimulating appetite, and eating after meals is good for the digestion and absorption of things. Fruit itself contains enzymes. If you want enzymes to produce different effects in the body, it is best to consider the time of eating, depending on the situation of different individuals. What's more, blindly rejecting high-fat and high-protein foods and eating only fruits and vegetables are not conducive to health.

Losing weight, maintaining a healthy and happy attitude and exercising more are the king.
