It is no secret that each food has an optimal time for consumption – that is, the periods when the body extracts the maximum benefit from the components it contains.

For fruits, this is the first half of the day.

Sugars that enter the body from apples, pears and oranges provide the body with energy, participate in various life processes and are well absorbed before evening.

But at night our body needs rest, which means that it does not require a lot of energy.

After about 6-7 pm, metabolism slows down – and if the body gets sugar, for example, from grapes, it may not have time to process it.

This can lead to decreased sleep quality or insomnia, swelling and other negative consequences.

There is also a chance that the fiber will not be digested before nightfall.

As a result, instead of a restful sleep, you may experience unpleasant sensations in the abdomen, ranging from heartburn to bloating and gas.

Earlier we talked about how to restore metabolism after a diet.
