You can't get fat during the Spring Festival
Fruits, as a gift from nature, are rich in vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber, which are beneficial to good health. However, the question of whether the fruit is eaten before or after a meal has been controversial. In this article, we will ** this issue and specifically remind people with stomach problems to avoid three unsuitable fruits.
First, let's understand why there are two sayings: "eat fruit before a meal" and "eat fruit after a meal". Proponents of eating fruit before meals believe that the vitamins and minerals in fruits aid digestion and can improve appetite. The view of "eating fruit after meals" believes that the dietary fiber in fruits helps the digestion and absorption of food, and can play a laxative role.
However, not all fruits are suitable for consumption for people with stomach problems. Here are three fruits to avoid for people with stomach problems:
1.Citrus fruits: such as oranges, grapefruits, lemons, etc. This kind of fruit contains more organic acids and citric acid, which can irritate the gastric mucosa and aggravate the symptoms of stomach pain and stomach acid in patients with stomach problems.
2.Kiwifruit: Kiwifruit contains a lot of fruit acids and vitamin C, which can aggravate stomach discomfort for patients with stomach problems with excessive stomach acid and damage to the gastric mucosa.
3.Tomato: Although tomato is a vegetable, its nutrient profile is similar to that of fruit. Tomatoes contain a lot of acidic substances that can irritate the gastric mucosa and cause discomfort in people with stomach problems.
So, when is the best time for people with stomach problems to eat fruit? Generally, people with stomach problems can eat fruit between half an hour and an hour after a meal. At this time, the stomach has completed the initial digestion of the food, and the fruit does not cause irritation to the gastric mucosa. In addition, choosing some mild fruits, such as apples, bananas, grapes, etc., is more helpful for people with stomach problems.
It is important to note that fruit intake should also be moderate. Excessive consumption of fruits, especially those with a high sugar content, can lead to an increase in blood sugar, which is not good for people with stomach problems. In general, a daily intake of 200-300 grams of fruit is sufficient to meet the body's needs.
In addition, patients with stomach problems should also pay attention to the following points when consuming fruits:
1.Avoid refrigerated fruits: Refrigerated fruits can cause blood vessels in the stomach to constrict, worsening stomach symptoms.
2.Avoid eating fruits on an empty stomach: Eating fruits on an empty stomach can easily lead to excessive stomach acid and irritate the gastric mucosa.
3.Understand your own physique: People with different physiques have different digestion and absorption abilities of fruits, and patients with stomach problems should choose suitable fruits according to their physique.
In conclusion, fruits are an integral part of the diet of people with stomach problems, but care should be taken to choose the right time and type of fruit. Following the principles of scientific diet, people with stomach problems can also enjoy the health benefits of fruits.
Finally, it is recommended that patients with gastric problems should also pay attention to the following points in terms of diet:
1.Eat regularly: Maintain a regular meal schedule and avoid overeating.
2.Eat a light diet: Reduce the intake of irritating foods such as greasy, spicy, and salty.
3.Rich in dietary fiber: Moderate intake of dietary fiber, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, etc., can help stomach health.
4.Moderate protein: Moderate intake of high-quality protein, such as fish, chicken, tofu, etc., can help with stomach repair.
5.Avoid stimulant beverages such as coffee and alcohol: these drinks can irritate the stomach lining and aggravate stomach symptoms.
6.Maintain a good attitude: Mood swings can also affect the symptoms of stomach problems, and people with stomach problems should maintain an optimistic and positive attitude.
Finally, I wish all patients with stomach problems can find a suitable diet for themselves, stay away from stomach discomfort, and enjoy a healthy life!
