Question:

Have heard people say that we should eat fruits before our meal..... and some say after meal.?

Which is better?


Answers:

Eating fruit 1st is best for digestion and waiting 20-30 minutes before consuming anything else. The ingestion of fruit causes the body to secrete alkaline enzymes. All other food causes the body to secrete acid enzymes to digest. If you consume fruit too close to the protein and carbohydrates
your stomach acids become neutralized by the alkaline secretions it took to digest the fruit thus causing putrefaction of the food eaten lengthening the movement of foods thru the digestive tract, usually causing gas, bloating, bad breath,heartburn and fatigue not to mention constipation.

In general fruit should be eaten alone in the morning or on an empty stomach. Unless you're a diabetic, but that's another answer.
