However, caution is required because these fruits have different effects on the body depending on when they are eaten. Learn regarding the health effects of a piece of fruit following a meal.
◇Causes indigestion
Consuming fruit following a meal causes indigestion. Fruit consumed following a meal does not pass through the stomach easily. This is because food previously eaten remains in the stomach and is being digested. Monosaccharides, which mainly make up fruits, are digested and absorbed in the small intestine, not the stomach. Even if it stays in the stomach for a long time, it cannot be digested. Instead of being digested, the sugar in the fruit ferments and produces gas, making the stomach bloated. Tannic acid contained in fruits is also one of the causes of indigestion. Tannic acid binds to proteins in other foods in the stomach and interferes with digestion. It also forms crystals with calcium, preventing the absorption of calcium.
◇Blood sugar rises rapidly
Eating fruit following a meal can cause your blood sugar to rise rapidly. This is because fruits contain a lot of simple sugars, which are absorbed faster than glucose. Professor Kim Byeong-jun of the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism at Gachon University Gil Hospital said, “When you eat fruit following a meal, simple sugars are absorbed into the body at a rapid rate, causing a sharp rise in blood sugar. This stimulates more insulin secretion from the pancreas and promotes fat synthesis in the body, lowering blood lipids. “It can increase body fat,” he said. In particular, if you eat the same amount of fruit by grinding it or making juice, it is high in calories and consumes more simple sugars.
◇Easy to lead to obesity
If the habit of eating fruit following meals continues, it can easily lead to obesity. When blood sugar levels rise sharply due to eating a lot of fruit, it not only stimulates more insulin secretion from the pancreas, but also promotes fat synthesis in the body, which can increase blood lipids and body fat.
◇You should eat it before a meal rather than following a meal.
It is best to consume fruit 1 hour before or 3 to 4 hours following a meal. Eating 1 hour before a meal increases the absorption of nutrients from fruit. Additionally, the feeling of fullness reduces the amount of food eaten, which can result in a dieting effect. It can be consumed 3 to 4 hours following a meal. This is a time when the blood sugar level returns to before the meal and the pancreas secretes insulin once more without being burdensome. You can eat it as a snack following a meal when you are digesting food and feeling hungry. Fruit should be consumed 1 to 2 times a day, limited to regarding half the size of an adult fist.
