Reasons why you should not eat grapefruit before going to bed

HẠ MÂY (Theo livestrong) |

Eating grapefruit at night may aggravate heartburn in some people. Grapefruit may also affect the effectiveness of some medications.

Grapefruit is low in calories and high in fiber, good for health and for people who want to lose weight.

However, if you suffer from heartburn, you should not eat too much grapefruit. Grapefruit is one of the top foods that cause heartburn.

When you lie down to sleep right after eating, the food in your esophagus cannot be cleared. If you eat grapefruit right now, it can cause health problems.

Your intestines contain a chemical that is needed to break down medications. Grapefruit juice can interfere with that chemical and prevent it from doing its job. When this happens, the concentration of the drug in your blood increases and the drug becomes more potent, increasing the risk of overdose.

Not all medications interact with grapefruit. Commonly interacting medications include those used to treat infections, lower cholesterol, treat high blood pressure, treat heart problems, prevent organ rejection in transplant recipients, etc.

Therefore, for those who suffer from heartburn and are taking medication, it is advisable to choose a different snack before going to bed.
