Do you know the best time for pregnant women to eat fruit?

Fruits are not only a source of entertainment and food, but also a source of nutrients for the human body. Fruits are a good way to supplement nutrition for pregnant women. Everyone knows that eating fruit is good, but few people know when is the best time to eat fruit. Today, I will tell you the best time for pregnant women to eat fruit. Do you know the best time for pregnant women to eat fruit? Let’s take a look.

Generally speaking, the correct time for pregnant women to eat fruit is 1 hour before meals and about 2 hours after meals (except persimmons). First of all, many ingredients in fruits are water-soluble, and eating them before meals is beneficial to the body's absorption of essential nutrients. Secondly, fruit is a low-calorie food, with an average calorie content of only 1/4 of the same weight of pasta and about 1/10 of the same weight of pork or other meat. Eating low-calorie foods first makes it easier to control the total calorie intake of a meal. Third, many fruits are easily oxidized and corrupted. Eating the fruits first can shorten their residence time in the stomach, reduce their oxidation and corruption degree, and reduce possible adverse effects on the body.

In addition, we should also be careful not to eat fruit before going to bed at night, otherwise the full stomach and intestines will affect your sleep. Don’t ever think that eating fruit is a trivial matter. Only by eliminating these misunderstandings can you cultivate living habits that are truly beneficial to your health.

It is most beneficial to eat fruit one hour before meals. If you eat fruit after a full meal, the fructose cannot enter the intestines in time, causing it to ferment in the stomach, producing organic acid, causing abdominal distension and diarrhea. Therefore, you need to wait one hour after a meal before eating fruit.

When eating fruit during pregnancy, you should pay attention to the following points:

1. Avoid using a kitchen knife to peel fruit: because kitchen knives often come into contact with raw meat, fish, and raw vegetables, they may bring parasites or parasite eggs to the fruit.

2 Avoid eating fruits without rinsing your mouth: Some fruits contain a variety of fermented sugars, which are highly corrosive to teeth. If you do not rinse your mouth after eating, the fruit residues in your mouth can easily cause tooth decay.

3. Avoid eating too much fruit: It is actually unscientific to eat fruit as a meal. Although fruits are rich in nutrients, they are not nutritionally comprehensive, especially they contain relatively little protein and fat, both of which are essential for fetal growth and development.

4 Avoid eating fruits immediately after meals: Eating fruits immediately after meals will cause bloating and constipation. Therefore, it is best to eat fruit within 2 hours after a meal or 1 hour before a meal.
