Orange juice is one of the juices that many housewives love because of its high nutritional value, rich in vitamin C, potassium and antioxidants... helping to increase resistance, support digestion and improve the skin.
However, drinking orange juice regularly in the evening does not bring the desired effect and can affect sleep and the digestive system.
Bloating and indigestion
Orange juice is mildly acidic and contains high levels of natural sugar. Drinking orange juice after dinner will affect the digestive system and cause bloating, indigestion or reflux.
For people with a history of stomach pain or weak digestion, drinking orange juice late at night can make the condition worse. Therefore, limit drinking orange juice after 8pm or close to bedtime.
Impact on sleep
Although the sugar content in orange juice is natural sugar from fruit, being tolerated too much before bed can temporarily increase blood sugar and stimulate the nervous system. This makes it difficult for some housewives to fall into deep, quality sleep.
Damaging tooth enamel
The acidity in orange juice can erode tooth enamel if consumed for a long time. Drinking orange juice every evening and not clearing your mouth thoroughly will have a high risk of tooth enamel damage.
Therefore, housewives need to practice cleaning their mouths with clean water or brushing their teeth immediately after drinking orange juice, especially before going to bed to protect oral health.
Causing side effects for people taking medication
Some medications such as antibiotics, blood pressure medications or digestive drugs can interact with acids in orange juice, which is a side effect for people taking the above drugs.
Consult your doctor or nutritionist about supplementing orange juice in the evening to effectively absorb nutrients as well as avoid affecting the health of users.
