Is there a right time for eating fruits ? I read conflicting reports about it ..

Hello Kiran, it is season of fruits many fruits available in these days. fruits are full of vitamins, minerals. For good health every one must be eat fruits. But it is not means that we eat whole day. I passed some time in naturopathy hospital. There when I was on fast, they give me 200gm fruits in the morning and 400gm. in afternoon and night. I think it is the right quantity if we are not eating any other food. In routine 100 to 200 gm fruit is enough. Fruits can be eat at every time but I suggest before meals.

hi kiaran madam, how are you ,you are enjoying the holidays with your family and means children and grand children,have you gone any vacation on summer,fruits can be eat any time,with food either with brakefast,lunch or dinner,nothing will happen,i have read about this and posted an article in triond also long back,have a nice day

Hi Kiran! I think, do not bother too much about conflicting reports, you can have fruits, whenever you feel like eating them. If at all they are going to benefit our body system less due to time factor, fruits will not cause any harm to our body. Fruits like water melon should not be taken at night, I understand.

I've read a lot that fruit should be eaten on an empty stomach. But don't ask me to explain why...

Hi. kiran8. I am not sure, but when I usually have fruit it is when my stomach is empty. I don't have any other foods that is being digested into my stomach at the moment. Last night, I got a craving for a cold fruit and I ate two black plums on an empty stomach before going to sleep.

Hello my friend kiran I miss you..about your habit of eating fruits, I envy. I like the way you do it..keep it up..there's no wrong of eating fruits as long as it is not too much at a time, i mean, everything that is too much is not advisable. Eat moderately wherever whenever you feel like to and no problem. Yeah, as what I know which is the right way, eating fruits after each meal is not the proper way, the best way is before, so the nutrients of the fruits you eat can go in first to our system before we would eat whatever next... That's what am always doing whenever I would eat meals (but of course if there are fruits)... Enjoy eating "bat girl" (bat are fond of eating fruits) (Just kidding...) Mobhomeir here..

I have also read conflicting reports about this Kiran. One important reason why they say that a fruit should not be taken along with a meal is because it contains more water content and is easily digestible.When this accompanies a meal it takes the time taken by the meal to get digested and assimilated in the system.It can also lose its natural properties.I find this valid. However, some fruits taken on a totally empty stomach induces acidity and I have personally experienced this [depending on the quantity taken].] I feel the best time would be some intermediary time say between a breakfast and a lunch or between a lunch and dinner[ late evening when people normally tend to have a go at deep fried snacks]. However , I also feel that the system of each person is different and if some habit suits a person, agrees with the system then that is best.Night time , however, is not advised because once again the logic here appeals to me. Anything gets absorbed better with a bit of physical work rather than sleeping.

There is a lot of Science out there about eating fruit. Some say by it's self others say with something. Like with eggs it seems always contradicting it's self. Pretty much unless you have diabetes or hypoglycemia (low blood sugars) I don't think you really need to watch out about when or how you eat fruit unless it is covered in doughs and sugars. Fruit has so many healthy points.

The right time to eat fruits is at a time that suits you. If one has had no complaints whatsoever following a particular schedule that should be the time when one should eat fruits. There are always bananas on the table and whenever I feel hungry I go for them. Citrus fruits do not agree with me and so I avoid them unless they are very sweet.

Kiranji I have not heard any such thing, i eat fruits any time i feel to eat, it never did any harm to me so far, hubby too eats fruits like me, all in my family like seasonal fruits, right now we have stock of mango and lichi.. Thank you so much for sharing Namastey. Kalyani

As per my knowledge there is no harm in eating fruits after meals or breakfast. Recently I have read somewhere that eating fruits on empty stomach will provide extra energy and helps in loosineng weight.Ayurveda also supports this concept. So we can say that eat fruit whenever you want, but for better health and fitness eat them empty stomach,
