When is a good time to eat fruit?

As the saying goes, "the consequence of a meal" is probably eating fruit after a meal, which is everyone's habit. Is it scientific to eat fruit after meals? When is a good time to eat fruit?

Recent studies have found that eating fruit after meals is actually unscientific for four reasons:

First, eating fruit after meals can easily clog the stomach with food, leading to flatulence, constipation and other symptoms, but it has a negative impact on digestive function.

Second, fruits contain more sugars, such as glucose, fructose, sucrose and starch. Eating fruits after meals will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas, especially the immature fruits with high starch content are more difficult to digest. Third, fruits are rich in cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin. , all have strong water absorption. Swelling after water absorption will increase satiety and make people uncomfortable, especially when there is too much cellulose, which will also affect the absorption of some nutrients.

Fourth, people who need to lose weight, if they are full, put a lot of fruit into their stomachs, which will make their stomachs swell and lead to obesity.

Therefore, it is not appropriate to eat fruit immediately after meals, and it is generally better to eat fruit before meals 1 hour or 2 hours after meals. However, some fruits should not be eaten on an empty stomach. For example, persimmon or immature fruit contains tannic acid, which will form persimmon stone when it meets calcium and iron, leading to the occurrence of gastrolith. Therefore, if you want to know how to eat fruit, you must first understand the nature of fruit.

How much fruit should I eat every day?

The daily intake of fruit is recommended internationally as 2 units of fruit (1 cup of juice, 1 medium-sized fruit is equivalent to 1 unit). According to the recommendation of Dietary Guidelines for China Residents, the total amount of fruit eaten every day is 100-200g, and vegetables are eaten at the same time 300-400g.

Because different vegetables and fruits contain different ingredients, the variety selection should be diversified. If economic conditions permit, you can eat as many kinds of fruits as possible. The latest research proves that eating fruit many times a day (at least five times) can prevent cancer, and some countries have also launched the "Eat Fruit Five Times a Day" campaign.
