The time to eat fruit is very important. It is best to eat fruit between meals, such as around 10 am or 3 pm, to reduce feelings of hunger and limit blood sugar fluctuations. If eating after main meals, you should wait about 1-2 hours and only eat in moderation.
Priority should be given to low-sugar, high-fiber fruits such as apples, pears, kiwis, blueberries, strawberries or grapefruits. The appropriate amount is about 200-350 grams per day, equivalent to a large fist.
Depending on health conditions, each person needs to choose suitable fruits. People with diabetes should choose fruits with a low glycemic index (GI) and control their portion size. People with stomach problems need to limit fruits that are too sour or eat cold fruits on an empty stomach.
Although good for health, fruits should not be eaten arbitrarily or in excessive quantities. Eating fruits at the right time, of the right type and in the right amount will help the body absorb nutrients more effectively, while supporting the digestive system, stabilizing blood sugar and controlling weight.
