Fruits and vegetables are two types of foods that are rich in fiber and antioxidants. Therefore, consumption of both is recommended for those who are dieting for any purpose. However, so far there have been differences regarding the right time to eat fruit. Some suggest before eating so that the maximum absorption, but some others suggest after eating because it is considered better.

A digestive expert from Cipto Mangunkusumo National Center General Hospital, Prof. Ari Fahrial Syam, MD, MMB, FACP, FINASIM (@dokterari) said that it was actually not a problem to eat fruit before or after having a heavy meal. In principle, food that enters the stomach first is what will be processed immediately. The stomach and enzymes will work to shrink the food component for further processing. However, for those who are on a diet, it is recommended to eat fruit before eating so that the stomach is filled first. In addition, fruit has fewer calories so it’s good for a diet. The choice of fruit suitable for the diet is fruit that has high fiber and antioxidant content such as apples, pears, kiwi, and papaya. While fruits with high sugar content such as pineapple, manga, watermelon, and durian are not recommended because it can increase the risk of diabetes.
Now you are not confused anymore in determining the right time to eat fruit, aren’t you?
Healthy greetings.
