      The first thing to understand is the correct time to eat fruits: it should be about one hour before meals and two hours after meals, except for fruits such as persimmons that should not be eaten before meals. Eating fruit before meals has many benefits. First of all, many ingredients in fruits are water-soluble, and eating them before meals is beneficial to the body's absorption of essential nutrients. Secondly, fruits are low-calorie foods, and their average calories are only 1/4 of pasta of the same weight, and about 1/10 of the same weight of meat such as pork. By eating low-calorie foods first, it is easier to grasp the total calorie intake in a meal. Third, many fruits themselves are easily oxidized and spoiled. Eating the fruit first can shorten the time it stays in the stomach, reduce the degree of oxidation and spoilage, and reduce possible adverse effects on the body. In addition, we must also be careful not to face the problem at night sleep Eat fruit before eating, otherwise a full stomach and intestines will affect your sleep.

      Secondly, you should not eat too sweet fruits at night. For example, you should not eat too much watermelon. When eating, you should pay attention to the intake method to avoid eating too much unnecessary sugar. Watermelon is best eaten in the morning, noon or afternoon. In the evening, it is recommended to eat fruits that do not contain too much sugar, such as blueberries. In addition, unless there are special needs, it is best to eat fruits in their original form and try not to squeeze them into juice, because when the fiber of the fruit is broken by the juice machine, there will be a lack of fiber to help gastrointestinal motility. There are other things to note about fruits that are too sweet:

      Shakya:

      Each 100 grams of custard apple contains 15.3%~18.3% total sugar and 265mg of vitamin C. Since custard apples have a sweet taste, they have a high sugar content. Diabetics should eat with caution.

      Be cautious when eating durian

      durian:

      The protein and fat content are not high. The glycemic index is about 42, which is not very high, but 2/3 of the ingredients are sugar. For people with high blood sugar, high blood pressure or hypotension, poor heart function, and gastrointestinal ulcers, they still need to be cautious when eating durian. It is best to reduce the amount of food before eating durian to avoid excessive calorie intake and aggravating the original condition. disease

      Chilean cherries:

      It contains a lot of sugar and is rich in sugar, protein, vitamins, calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium and other elements. The iron content ranks among the best among fruits. It is a good food for supplementing iron and benefiting the brain. Diabetics should not be greedy.

      American grapes:

      Raisin peel and seeds contain antioxidant substances, which have a preventive effect on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The sugar content is high, and the calories of ten grapes are equivalent to the calories of two taels of rice. Diabetics should not eat more.

      The last thing I want to say is that people with allergies should be careful when eating fruits that are prone to allergies:

      pitaya:

      Rich in vitamins B1, B2, B3, vitamin C, carotene, and anthocyanins, and containing trace elements such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, and water-soluble dietary fiber, which can prevent constipate , helps laxatives, and is also used as a "weight loss fruit". But due to the natural Grape Sugar is easily absorbed, so people with diabetes should not eat too much in one meal. Have gastrointestinal disorders and are prone to diarrhea People who are pregnant should also eat less.

      Pineapple, mango:

      They are common tropical fruits with high glycemic index, so diabetics should not eat more of them. Both are allergenic foods. People with allergies may be allergic if they just come into contact with the peel. Therefore, people with allergies should eat with caution. Eating pineapples and mangoes soaked in salt water will not reduce the chance of allergies, but can only improve the taste.
