When is the best time to eat apples in a day?

One hour before meals and one hour after meals.

People usually think that eating fruit after meals is the best, but a professor from Taiwan Province Province put forward a new viewpoint, emphasizing that eating fruit one hour before meals is the most beneficial. The reason is that fruit is raw. After eating cooked food raw, the body will not produce leukocytosis and other reactions, which is conducive to protecting the human immune system and thus enhancing the ability to prevent diseases and cancers. Eating fruit after meals has no such protective effect. In addition, if you eat fruit after a full meal, the fructose contained in it cannot enter the intestine in time, which will ferment in the stomach and produce organic acids, causing abdominal distension and diarrhea. Therefore, you need to wait for an hour after dinner before eating fruit.

In fact, eating fruit before meals is better than eating fruit after meals. Medical experts point out that it takes 1 to 2 hours for food to enter the small intestine from the stomach. Eating fruit after meals will block food in the stomach, which will lead to digestive dysfunction in the long run. On the contrary, eating fruit before meals, vitamin C can help digest the iron in the meat in the intestines, and can also slightly reduce the appetite, and eat less at dinner.

Traditionally, eating fruit after meals is a good eating habit. However, recent studies have found that this view is not scientific, and eating fruit after meals will have a bad influence on digestive function.

Fruits eaten after meals are easily blocked in the stomach by the food eaten first, causing flatulence, constipation and other symptoms, which will affect the digestion and absorption of food and adversely affect the digestive function. In addition, it is not advisable to eat fruit before dinner, which will affect people's normal eating, and the human stomach can't fully absorb the nutrition in the fruit. The most reasonable time to eat fruit should be between meals, usually 9- 10 in the morning and 3-4 in the afternoon. If the meal time is irregular, try to control the time of eating fruit within 65438+ 0 hour before meals and 2 hours after meals.

In addition, some fruits should not be eaten on an empty stomach or with greasy food. If persimmon contains tannin, this substance will solidify when it meets acid, forming "persimmon stone", which may easily lead to "stomach stone". Under normal circumstances, fruits should be eaten raw, and the fresher they are, the more nutritious they are. But if it is a critically ill patient, it can also be cooked and eaten.

In life, some people are used to eating fruit immediately after a meal. Some hotels and restaurants usually send a fruit bowl after a hearty meal, thinking that this will not only increase nutrition, but also be beneficial to human health. In fact, it is not appropriate to eat fruit immediately after a meal.

Fruit is a monosaccharide food, which is easily absorbed by the small intestine and does not need to stay in the stomach for a long time. Eating fruit immediately after a meal can easily lead to the fruit staying in the stomach for too long, causing rot, gas production, bloating and even digestive dysfunction. So it is best to eat fruit half an hour to an hour after meals, which is helpful for digestion and absorption. People who need to lose weight can eat some fruit 20 to 40 minutes before meals, because the crude fiber in the fruit can make the stomach feel full and make people eat less.
