1, what is the time to eat fruit?
It is best to have breakfast, before meals or between meals. Eating half an apple after a meal can kill most bacteria in the mouth and digestive tract.
Eating fruit for breakfast, or one hour before lunch or dinner, or between meals, can achieve the greatest benefits. Because most of the nutrients in fruit are water-soluble and easy to absorb, the nutrients in the fruit eaten will be digested and absorbed in the stomach soon. However, if you eat fruit after a meal, because there are other foods waiting to be digested in your stomach, the fruit has to be placed behind, which not only fails to achieve the effect of easy absorption of nutrients, but also easily leads to digestive disorder. Eating fruit before meals has another advantage, because the same amount of fruit has lower calories than other foods, so eating fruit before meals can make your stomach feel full, which will reduce the calorie intake of other foods, which is very helpful for people who want to lose weight.
It should be pointed out that:
Some fruits should not be eaten on an empty stomach, such as tomatoes, persimmons, bananas, oranges, sugar cane and lychees. Because some special ingredients may cause gastrointestinal discomfort.
2. How much should I eat a day?
Eat at least 2 servings.
I believe everyone has heard of the concept of five fruits and vegetables a day. This is the anti-cancer health concept promoted by the United States before. You should eat at least three servings of vegetables and two servings of fruit every day. And 1 serving means about100g, which is about the size of a fist, and it is almost a Liu Ding, an apple or a kiwi, so you should eat at least two or more a day. When choosing fruits, try to choose fruits with different colors (different colors represent differences in nutritional components), so that you can get different nutrition!
Different functions of fruits with different colors
Purple fruits: such as blueberries and blackberries, contain anthocyanins and have anti-aging effects.
White fruits: such as pears and white peaches, contain sulfides and lower cholesterol.
Yellow fruits: such as citrus and grapefruit, contain carotene, which can enhance immunity.
Green fruits: such as kiwi fruit and avocado, contain lutein and strengthen bones and teeth.
Red fruits, such as watermelons and tomatoes, contain lycopene, which can protect the urinary system.
3. Can I just eat fruit all day?
Of course not!
From a nutritional point of view, eating only fruits is definitely unhealthy, because the body needs other nutrients, such as protein, starch, or other minerals. However, if people need to lose weight, they can increase the proportion of fruits, that is, they can eat more fruits a day, but relatively reduce the intake of starch, oil and other foods. And choose large but low-calorie fruits, such as watermelon, because of high water content, easy to get full, but the calories are much lower than those of the same weight fruit; In addition, the intake of avocado and durian with high oil content and litchi, longan and banana with high sweetness should be reduced.
It should be pointed out that:
Eating more fruits will not make you thin, but will make you feel full, but the relatively high-calorie main meal intake will be reduced, so you can lose weight.
4. Is the juice effective?
It is best to eat fresh fruit!
Bottled juice on the market usually contains a lot of sugar. Take a look. In fact, the heat is scary (about 50 calories per 100ml, 400ml of a can of juice, and the heat is about equal to a hairball). If fresh fruit is made into juice, the fiber rich in pulp can't be absorbed. In addition, in Liu Ding, one calorie is about 60 calories, and you can eat two calories 120 calories, but it takes 6~8 calories to make a cup of juice, so the calorie is about 400 calories (a bowl and a half of rice), so drinking juice is actually very high in calories, and many nutrients in the pulp or peel can't be absorbed!
5. Would you like to eat fruit with it?
It is better to eat different kinds separately!
The stomach needs different enzymes and working procedures when digesting different foods, so the simpler it is to eat, the smoother and easier it will be to absorb. Roughly the same kind of fruit can be eaten together, just judging from the appearance and taste. Like melons, watermelons, honeydew melons and cantaloupes can be eaten together; Slightly sour fruits such as apples, pears and peaches. Lime, Liu Ding, grapefruit, etc. ; Berries such as blueberries, strawberries and blackberries can be eaten together.
It should be pointed out that:
Basically, fruits with similar taste and appearance can be eaten at the same time, but they are worried about different nutrients, so you can eat different fruits before meals or between meals!
Girls had better eat more of these fruits.
1, anti-aging is the best!
Cranberries, blueberries, strawberries, grapes (seeds), etc.
In fact, anti-aging will involve anti-oxidation. The purpose of anti-oxidation is to inhibit the activity of free radicals and reduce the production of free radicals, thus slowing down the aging speed of skin or body or organs. The antioxidant components in fruits include proanthocyanidins, flavonoids, tannins, vitamin C, carotene and so on. And berries containing a lot of proanthocyanidins are regarded as anti-aging holy products! In addition to strengthening the effect of vitamin C, it can also prevent the degradation of collagen fibers and maintain the original elasticity of the skin!
2, whitening is the best!
Cherry, citrus, guava, kiwi, papaya, etc.
When it comes to whitening, vitamin C is the most common. Natural fruit is the best source of vitamin C. Nutrition is easily absorbed by the human body, but it is also easily lost with water, so it is best to take it every day. Cherry contains a very high proportion of vitamin C and iron, which can increase the content of hemoglobin and make it look better. In addition, it is generally recognized that guava, kiwifruit and citrus fruits are also rich in vitamin C.
There are also many vitamin C-related nutrients on the market. If people don't have time to eat fruit, they can also supplement these related products, but ask a professional dietitian or pharmacist for practical efficacy or commodity advice!
