However, there are some taboos, which deserve your attention. Good foods must be eaten safely and healthy.

1. It doesn't matter when you eat fruit, but it's not recommended to eat it on an empty stomach

"Eating fruit at night tends to accumulate toxins, which can damage the liver and stomach," and "fruits turn into garbage after eating" are totally nonsense.

The body's digestive capacity has little to do with eating time. If you don't have gastrointestinal diseases or blood sugar problems, you can eat any fruit when you eat it.

2. High blood sugar, pay attention to the amount of fruit

For sugar friends with poor blood sugar control, the first task is to use good medicine, mouth, blood sugar control.

Eating fruit is a reward for good blood sugar control.

Different varieties of fruit, sugar content is not the same, the impact on blood sugar is different. We should try our best to choose the varieties which have little effect on blood sugar and contain less sugar. Such as orange, grapefruit, plum, cherry, apple and so on.

It is better to take 100-200 grams per day, and it should be taken in different times. For example, eat 100 grams in the morning and 100 grams in the afternoon.

It is also recommended that you eat fruit between meals rather than immediately after a meal, so as not to increase blood sugar too much.

Seasonal watermelon, Hami melon and so on, is not can't eat, must control the quantity, eat a small bowl of cut on the line. After all, health is more important.

3. Take some lipid-lowering and antihypertensive drugs, don't take grapefruit

Some components in grapefruit (such as naringin, Furanocoumarin, etc.) can affect the normal metabolism of drugs in the body, and make the drug concentration in the blood significantly increased.

The more grapefruit you eat, the more significant and lasting the effect.

This will cause excessive drug accumulation in the body, resulting in abnormal blood pressure drop and poor control of blood lipids.

However, citrus fruits such as citrus and sweet oranges that are usually eaten are generally not affected and can be eaten with confidence.

If you're not sure, ask your doctor.

4. Don't eat carambola if your kidney is bad

Carambola is a delicious tropical fruit.

But people with chronic kidney disease eat carambola, may appear vomiting, disturbance of consciousness, shock and epilepsy and other poisoning symptoms, serious even death.

Because carambola contains a neurotoxin. After eating a small amount of carambola, the toxin will filter urine through the kidney, and finally be discharged from the body.

However, for patients with impaired renal function, the neurotoxin is left in the body due to the immobility of renal filtration, leading to various toxic symptoms.

Therefore, patients with renal insufficiency are advised not to eat fresh carambola and fresh carambola juice to prevent poisoning symptoms.

5. Drinking fruit juice is not as good as eating fruit directly

Eating fruit directly not only has no loss of nutrients, but also benefits the health of teeth and gums during chewing.

For bad teeth, chewing ability is not strong friends, can change to drink juice.

But when you drink fruit juice, it is best to drink fresh juice at home, and do not filter residue, which can maximize the preservation of fruit nutrients. But it's still not as good as eating fruit directly.

It is not recommended to drink finished fruit juice or fruit drinks, because they usually contain additional sugar, and the dietary fiber and vitamin content are not as good as freshly squeezed fruit juice.

In addition to the problems mentioned above, people who are prone to diarrhea should eat less fruit with seeds such as kiwi, mulberry, and strawberry, because these fruits will shorten the emptying time of the intestines.

On the contrary, friends with mild constipation are more suitable for eating these fruits.

Mango, fig, pineapple and other fruits may cause allergy in a few people. If after eating, oral mucosa swelling, headache, stomachache, etc., do not eat next time.

Fruit is a very good ingredient.

Dietary Guidelines For Chinese Residents recommend that healthy adults eat 200-350 grams of fruit a day.

Take advantage of the weekend, buy some melons, pears, peaches and keep them at home, eat a little every day, delicious, appetizing, water and healthy.
