Here are the top ✋🏻 myths about the best time to eat fruit, along with the truth.
1️⃣ Always Eat Fruit on an Empty Stomach. The claim is that it can cause your stomach to empty more slowly. That’s a good thing , since slowing the emptying of your stomach can help you feel full for longer, which might help you eat fewer calories in the long run . In addition, studies approved that it’s not the cause of bloating, diarrhea and discomfort is equally misleading.
2️⃣ Eating Fruit Before or After a Meal Reduces Its Nutrient Value !
This is not at all true. The human body has evolved over time to be as efficient as possible when it comes to extracting nutrients from food.
Your digestive system is more than prepared to digest and absorb the nutrients from fruit, whether it's eaten on an empty stomach or with a meal.
3️⃣ If You Have Diabetes, You Should Eat Fruit 1–2 Hours Before or After Meals; This is rather bad advice for most people who have diabetes. For the majority of diabetics, eating fruit on an empty stomach isn’t great advice. Pairing fruit with a meal or snack is usually a better choice.
4️⃣ The Best Time of Day to Eat Fruit Is the Afternoon; There is no evidence or logic behind the idea that fruit should preferably be eaten in the afternoon. Fruit is healthy no matter what time it is.
5️⃣ You Shouldn't Eat Fruit After 2:00 in the Afternoon; Eliminating fruit after 2 p.m. has no benefits and doesn’t affect your weight. Eating fruit is a good idea at any time of the day.
