Fruit is usually eaten between meals. It should be noted that alkaline fruits, such as lemons, oranges, grapefruit, grapes, sugar cane and apples, should usually be eaten before meals. Acidic fruits should be eaten after meals, such as bayberry, plum and plum.
The correct time to eat fruit is 65438+ 0 hour before meals and about 2 hours after meals (except persimmons).
First of all, many ingredients in fruit are water-soluble, so eating before meals is beneficial to the absorption of essential nutrients.
Secondly, fruit is a low-calorie food, and its average calorie is only 1/4 of that of pasta with the same weight, and that of pork with the same weight is about110. Eating low-calorie food first makes it easier to grasp the total calorie intake of a meal.
Third, many fruits themselves are easily oxidized and corrupted. Eating fruit first can shorten its residence time in the stomach, reduce the degree of oxidative corruption and reduce the possible adverse effects on the body.
Suggestion: But some, such as tomatoes, persimmons, oranges, hawthorn and bananas, should not be eaten on an empty stomach.
