When and how to eat the apple.

Some fruits that are rich in acid should not be taken on an empty stomach. Apples are okay to be eaten on an empty stomach, i have heard in some health news that it's not ok to eat apples at night as this might cause indigestion.

As much as I know, we should eat all kind of fruit with an empty stomach. They are digested quickly, but if we ate something else before, the fruits can't leave the stomach and can cause problem with digesting. Correct me if somebody knows it better. So it's better to eat it before meals or between meals. I heard that if you eat an apple before meals you will eat less, but apples always make me hungry!

When I was a little girl we lived next door to an elderly Scotish couple and the lovely lady used to always say an apple before you go to bed is the best thing you can do, I am not sure that goes for what they say today...they lived until they were 90 something so maybe...

True. But basically all kind of fruits with Vitamin C or E will work. The most important thing is that you should at least consume fruits or juice one hour after eating, or before sleeping. That way your stomach can digest it nicely without mixing with another kind of food.

Hi sanjay, I don't know if there is a proper time to eat apple but I've read an article before aside from "an apple a day keeps doctor away". According to the article, if you are going to attend party or any occasion that involves there're foods it is best to eat one apple an hour or two before the occasion in order the apple to absorbs those fatty foods and toxin from the food you were eat.

there is no best time, each time of the day is fine although I would not count on keeping the doctor away if you are doing so. The only thing you should know is: don't brush your teeth right after you ate an apple. The sour in it, in combination with toothpaste will ruin your teeth and make great holes in it. So you have to wait at least 30 minutes before you do so. So that healthy an apple is not at all, surely not for your teeth. An other thing you should know: it takes way less time to digest and apple (fruit) as it take to digest a hot meal. So don't eat fruit after the hot meal or heavy dinner. It can really make you sick if it stays for over 8 hours within till it's completely digested.

but my favorite is banana. same problem and confusion is with me whether banana should be eaten before or after meal.

I have heard just the opposite. I have heard that one should eat fruit to break the fast and nothing else until noon. Fruit helps the body become regular and helps put a good start on the day. Apples can be eaten in many ways. Cut up and sliced or by themselves and applesauce is delicious as well.

well, I have heard about that.. even my best friends eat not only apple but many kind of fruits with empty stomach..He also eat breakfast with only fruits everyday..This really works for him, if hungry he just eat another apple or pear or else..He suggest to drink lemon with warm water before eat fruit breakfast..he called it part of food combining program..

hi sanjay! i haven't heard of eating apple with an empty stomach. but this i am sure of, for the people who are on a diet it is not advisable to be eating fruits after 6 in the evening since the fruits contain fructose which is heavy for the stomach to digest oh i hope i am saying this right. but anyway fruits specially apples are helpful and we can eat it anytime we would want to.
