Fruits are said to be very nutritious and healthy for our body. From these we get a lot of minerals and vitamins as well as calories. But most of the people remain confused about what is the right time to eat fruits.
Health experts say that if fruits are eaten half to an hour before meals, they provide a lot of nutrition to the body. If you eat these fruits after meals, then the extra calories of the fruits get lost in the body along with the food, which can cause many harms to health.
It is better not to eat fruits with food or immediately after food. The right time to eat fruits is in the morning, afternoon and evening; fruits should not be consumed even immediately before sleeping at night.
Health experts advise not to eat fruits immediately after meals. Actually, the body has already taken a lot of calories through food, if you eat fruits immediately after the meal without digesting them, then the body has to bear the extra calorie intake. This puts double load on the digestive system and it is not able to digest so many calories at once. Eating fruits immediately after meals spoils the digestive system and leads to many stomach related problems like indigestion, bloating, acidity, cramps and constipation etc. The possibility arises.
If seen, fruits contain fructose which gets digested quickly, if fruits are eaten immediately after food, then fructose gets digested quickly and there is a lot of difficulty in digesting the food already in the stomach. Eating food immediately after meals is said to cause accumulation of many types of toxins in the body. Its effect is visible not only on the stomach but also on the skin.
On this, experts say that eat fruits when you are not eating food for some time before or after. That means, the right time to eat fruits is between 10 to 12 noon. At this time you can eat fruits comfortably and your body will get full nutrition from them. Fruits can also be eaten in the evening, this time can be between four to seven o’clock. If you eat fruits around 11 o’clock during the day, your hunger is satiated and you also get a lot of fiber through fruits, which strengthens the digestive system.
