Drinking too much juice is more harmful than drinking a drink
A new study shows that drinking too much juice every day is more harmful to the body than carbonated drinks such as cola, which increases the risk of early death.
Even if freshly squeezed juices don't add extra sugar, the sugar content of the fruit itself is not low. For example, apple juice and orange juice have a sugar content of more than 8%, and the sugar content of grape juice is almost twice that of cola.
Compared with fresh fruit, juicing fruit will lead to the loss of dietary fiber and some nutrients, such as vitamin C and antioxidants. Moreover, because it does not need to be chewed, the juice is emptied quickly in the stomach and absorbed quickly in the intestine, and the blood sugar rises much faster than fresh fruit, which is particularly unfavorable for middle-aged and elderly people.
What fruit to eat varies from person to person
How to eat healthier? Fruits also have "four sexes and five tastes", and people with different physiques should eat selectively.
People with hot and dry constitutions can eat cold fruits such as watermelon, sydney pear, mangosteen, etc., which can help reduce internal heat.
People with a weak constitution can choose warm or sweet fruits, such as apples, pomegranates, peaches, etc.
People with a weak spleen and stomach can cook hot or steam to eat, which can change the "raw and cold" properties of fruits to a certain extent, but the nutrient content will also be reduced.
The four types of people should pay attention to time
When is the best time of day to eat fruit? When eating, eat before or after meals?
In fact, for healthy people, there is no need to pay too much attention to the time to eat fruit, as long as the gastrointestinal function is normal, when to eat, there is not much difference in nutrient absorption. It's just that for some special groups, pay a little attention.
People with spleen and stomach deficiency: you can choose to eat it after 10 o'clock in the morning when the body's yang qi begins to rise, which is conducive to nutrient absorption.
Diabetics: Eat between meals to avoid large postprandial blood glucose fluctuations.
People who lose weight: you can consider eating before meals, which can increase satiety to a certain extent and help reduce the intake of other foods.
People taking medication: If you need to take medication in the near future, it is best not to eat fruit within 1-2 hours before and after taking medication, so as not to affect the efficacy of the drug.
Some fruits should not be eaten on an empty stomach
Whether or not you can eat fruit on an empty stomach also varies from person to person. People with excessive stomach acid, poor digestion, and gastrointestinal diseases should not eat fruit on an empty stomach. If the digestive function is good and the acid secretion is normal, there is no big problem in eating some fruit on an empty stomach.
It should be noted that most people should avoid eating persimmons, hawthorn and other tannins, fruits with high gum content when they are on an empty stomach, so as not to cause gastrointestinal discomfort.
If you eat fruit and have gastrointestinal discomfort, you must make adjustments when you eat fruit again.
