Fruits are healthy food. But not at any time of the day.

For example, a fruit breakfast is a good choice. Slices of apple or banana will make the porridge more delicious, and will also help the body to finally wake up and get a boost of energy before the start of the working day.

A fruit snack a couple of hours before lunch or dinner is also a good idea.

But eating fruit in the evening is a mistake.

Do not eat apples, pears, oranges, tangerines, apricots, grapefruits, kiwi, peaches, nectarines, bananas, persimmons and other fruits after 7:00 p.m.

Why You Shouldn't Eat Fruit After 7 PM

The fact is that after 7:00 pm the metabolism slows down. In addition, a person becomes less active.

Fruits are sources of fiber and fructose. And the body simply will not have time to process these components normally if the fruit meal was taken late in the evening.

If a person does not give up the habit of eating sweet fruits shortly before bed, he may face the following unpleasant consequences:

  • the appearance of edema;
  • the appearance of fatty deposits.

But you can safely eat fruits in the morning and afternoon hours.
