Question

We all know having fruits is good, but when do we get its max benefit, is it after meals or before meals?

Answer 1

Before meals.

Answer 2

you should take fruits as a meal

Answer 3

I like to eat fruit with my meal, in-between bits.  But if I want to get all the vitamins, I eat them first thing in the morning with my cereal.

Answer 4

I suggest to have fruits after meals for maximum benefits. If you take before meals its sugar content may kill your hunger and you may not eat your meal well and you may be under nurished. Also, try to eat a porting of the fruit rather than eating a whole lot as you like a particular fruit. Also if you like to keep yourself slim and trim, limit to less sweet but fibrous fruits. BUT, MAKE SURE that you include a portion of a fruit in breakfast and dinner everyday.

Answer 6

Before meals it is the best to eat fruits as the vitamins and other nutritious things get readily absorbed by the alementary canal.

Answer 7

Chit and Keashur are right. Mornings and no later then 20 minutes before a meal. If you want to read a great book that's a short but informative read, check out Fit For Life by Harvey and Marilyn Diamond. It's easy to read and understand.  

Answer 8

Take meals lightly and then take fruits what ever you want -advantage- low calories diet as fruits have fructose, so good for people who are dieting...

Before food also you can take where you'll loose appetite to take the meals. you may skip the meals, which is not good and fruits alone are not sufficient and you may eat some snacks to reduce hunger.Double damage.

Answer 9

Eating fruits 30 mins before meals is better, coz fruits are fast in digestion,,If we take fruits after meals the protien in main meals becomes hardr and the digestion takes time..
