How and When to eat Fruits.

Are you surprised about it??

Yes nutritionists are warning about how and when to eat fruits.

When??
Eating fruits after meal is no good rather in between meals or after break fast is suggested. After meal our digestion system will be occupied with producing necessary juices and enzymes for grinding the food which is already consumed. Other reason is dental cleanliness.

Taking fruits before meal is another good option as it reduces the amount of food taken during a meal. Also it cleans the fruit residuals from the teeth.

How??
Eating fruits with the skin on is more good for health as it is rich in fibre. A washed fruit with skin is the best. Having moderate amount of fruits is more healthier than having fruit juices. In Fruit juices all the fibre is lost. This fruit pulp contains most of the minerals and vitamins of the fruit which is not consumed with a juice. So to give the minerals and vitamin of the fruit in the best form to the body, eating a washed fruit with skin on, in between meals is the best. A study has shown that the chemical reaction which happens due to the texture break down of a fruit when it is crunched in the mouth is very important for health reasons. Moreover more sugar is consumed to prepare fruit juice as more fruits are required, which is not good for the body. So having limited amount of fruit juice is fine.

In addition to having the Fashion fruits[like Apple, grapes and strawberries], having wild fruits like blue berries, red berries etc..[Indian Regu, etha pallu and neredu etc..]
is beneficial for health and economical as well.
