In the morning, people often choose bread and milk as breakfast because of time constraints. This leads to a limited intake of nutrients. Therefore, experts recommend that you eat a piece of fruit for breakfast. Fruits are rich in various vitamins and are essential for the body. Eating fruit for breakfast can also keep you energized throughout the morning.
People have heard the saying "fruit in the morning is gold, in the afternoon until 3pm is silver, from 3pm to 6pm is bronze, and after 6pm is lead". So why is it best to eat fruit in the morning? After a night of sleep, the body needs to replenish energy, but the digestive system is not fully functional at this time. Eating fruit can provide the necessary nutrients for work and study. In addition, blood sugar levels are usually low in the morning after waking up, and the natural glucose found in fruits can be quickly absorbed by the body, raising blood sugar levels and satisfying the needs of the body and brain.
Fruits contain various vitamins, such as potassium, which can calm emotions, relax the mind, and improve focus. Organic acids like citric acid can effectively prevent the production of lactic acid, keeping you energized and less fatigued. It is best to pack a fruit in your bag after breakfast for a fruit snack during work. Experts recommend kiwi and strawberries as the best fruits to eat after breakfast, as they are rich in vitamins and can keep you energized throughout the day.
Most people don't eat a lot for breakfast, so they may feel hungry early before lunch. Eating a piece of fruit at this time can not only provide nutrients but also increase satiety. Here are the recommended times to eat fruit: about 1 hour before a meal and about 2 hours after a meal (except for persimmons). Eating fruit before a meal can stimulate appetite, while eating fruit after a meal can promote nutrient absorption.
A friendly reminder from the editor:
There are different opinions on whether to peel fruits when eating them, but scientists believe that it is better to peel fruits. Besides direct pesticide spraying, fruit farmers often use external root fertilization methods, which leads to a large amount of nitrate residues on the fruit peel. When these residues enter the body and interact with bacteria, they can be reduced to nitrite, which can easily lead to gastrointestinal cancer.
