When and Why to Eat Fruit?

By Kiwilimón - 2018-10-16T09:09:08.273307Z
Some experts recommend eating fruit before meals to avoid possible digestive difficulties resulting from the fermentation of sugars. Additionally, they point out that fruit contains certain acidic substances that stimulate stomach secretions, which would facilitate digestion. Pineapple and papaya are two fruits that aid in the digestion of proteins if consumed alongside other foods. On the other hand, it is important to remember that fruit provides the same calories whether eaten before or after meals. In some weight loss diets, it is recommended to eat fruit first for the satiating effect it produces, thus avoiding the later intake of large amounts during meals. Eating fruit for dessert prevents the ingestion of other types of foods that have higher caloric value and fat content. It is also good as a dessert because the acids it contains help clean the mouth. The important thing to avoid gaining weight is to always maintain a balance between calories consumed and calories expended.
