Controversy 1: Can't you eat fruit before meals?
There are three reasons to support this statement:
In response to these statements, experts said:
The first reason: it only makes sense for patients with stomach problems. Because the organic acids (pH3~5) in fruits are much lower than those in gastric acid (pH < 2).
The second reason: for people with hyperacidity. But most people don't feel uncomfortable.
The third reason: it is not true for people with healthy gastrointestinal tract, because sugar is digested in the small intestine.
Controversy 2: Can't you eat fruit after a meal?
There is also a voice about eating fruit, saying, "You can't eat fruit after meals". The reasons for supporting this statement are:
If you eat fruit immediately after a meal, it will be blocked in your stomach by the food that arrives in advance, so that the fruit can not be digested normally in your stomach, leading to digestive dysfunction.
Fan Zhihong said that the premise of this reason is that you are full before eating fruit, and the amount of fruit you eat is relatively large.
People with strong gastric motility, normal gastric acid secretion and less fruit after meals need not worry.
When is the best time to eat fruit?
When to eat fruit depends on the individual's digestive ability.
Strong digestion: ready to eat.
Need to be reminded that mango, papaya, pineapple, kiwi, fig and other fruits rich in protease are not suitable for eating too much on an empty stomach.
Indigestion: It is best not to eat before meals.
If you have indigestion or a feeling of fullness in your stomach, it is best not to eat fruit before meals, and it is best not to eat fruit immediately after meals.
Obesity, hypertension and hyperlipidemia: eat before meals.
Eating some fruits with high water content and low calories first will help to slow down the eating speed and control the weight.
For patients with hypertension and hyperlipidemia, increasing fruit intake and replacing a small part of staple food with it are beneficial to control blood pressure and blood lipid.
People who need to gain weight: it is best not to eat before meals.
People who need to gain weight, it is best not to eat fruit before meals, so as not to affect the activity of digestive enzymes and the appetite for dinner.
Diabetic: Eat fruit between meals.
For diabetics, fruits and staple foods are both sources of carbohydrates. Taking fruit as a supplementary meal between meals will not cause hypoglycemia before the second meal.
