In many cultures, it is a tradition to eat fresh fruits for a dessert after meals.
However, not many people are aware about the fact that eating fruits at the end of lunches or dinners can be quite harmful. Specialist made it clear on this points to follow some easy rules that can help us to rip maximum benefits from eating fruits.

1: Do not eat fruit after meals . It takes fruit 20 minutes to digest and move to the small intestine where further absorption of the nutrient occurs.
However, when we eat fruits after other meals, especially the ones with a high content of protein s or starch which usually take much longer to digest, the fruits get blocked in our stomach and start fermenting or even getting rotten. In such case, no positive nutritional effects will be received. Instead, the meals will not be digested completely, the fruits will get broken right in our stomach and our digestive system will be affected and upset.

2: Do not eat fruits with other meals. The same effect will take place in the stomach, when the fruits are mixed with other meals.

3: Make a habit of eating fruits on an empty stomach. This habit will do more good to your health. Your stomach and digestive system will not have to use additional mechanisms to balance the process of digestion. It is also very good to eat fruits after doing physical exercise or any sort of outdoor activities.

1 In the morning 20 - 30 minutes before having breakfast.

1. In the afternoon, 3 - 4 hours after lunch.
