Eating fruit before or after meals
greatly affects digestion and weight control. 

00:00:07.872 --> 00:00:11.861 
Experts recommend eating fruit 20 to 30
minutes before main meals 

00:00:11.861 --> 00:00:13.312 
on an empty stomach 

00:00:13.312 --> 00:00:17.198 
to absorb maximum vitamins, enzymes and
primary substances, while helping to 

00:00:17.198 --> 00:00:19.672 
stabilize blood sugar and support weight loss. 

00:00:20.212 --> 00:00:23.992 
Research shows that the group that eats
fruit before meals has a 25% lower blood 

00:00:23.992 --> 00:00:26.512 
sugar level after eating than
the group that eats later. 

00:00:27.272 --> 00:00:30.368 
On the contrary, eating fruit right
after a main meal can easily cause 

00:00:30.368 --> 00:00:32.512 
bloating and flatulence due to fermentation in the stomach. 

00:00:33.272 --> 00:00:36.532 
If you want to eat after meals, you
should wait 60 to 90 minutes. 

00:00:37.312 --> 00:00:40.927 
People with gastritis should avoid sour
fruits on an empty stomach to 

00:00:40.927 --> 00:00:42.132 
avoid stimulating stomach acid.
