Any food has its best time for consumption. It coincides with the hours when the body receives the maximum benefit from the components included in the food.

Fruits, for example, are best eaten in the first half of the day.

The reason is that the sugar they contain provides the body with energy, which is used in various life processes, and is perfectly absorbed until the evening.

At night, when the body needs rest, additional energy is not needed.

Moreover, after about 18:00-19:00 the metabolism slows down, which means that the body simply does not have time to process the incoming sugar.

As a result, you may experience sleep problems (even insomnia), swelling and other unpleasant consequences.

In addition, there is a high probability that the fiber will not have time to be processed before nightfall, and a restful sleep will be replaced by heartburn, bloating, and gas formation.

We can say that the saying “An apple for dinner keeps the doctor away” has little to do with reality.

Previously, we talked about who should eat herring and who shouldn’t.
