Today, on the shelves of stores you can find a lot of fruit, including those brought from exotic countries. And is it really useful to eat them?
The danger of "live" vitamins
Let's start with the fact that any fruit puts a significant load on the gastrointestinal tract, because they have a lot of fiber and dietary fiber. Myjane... If you overdo it with the consumption of so-called live vitamins, then unpleasant sensations in the form of pain and bloating are possible, in the worst case - intestinal upset. And if you already have stomach or intestinal diseases, then fresh fruit may be generally contraindicated for you. Which of them are the most dangerous? Let's listen to the opinion of nutritionists.
pears
In the old days, they said that a pear eaten for breakfast was poison. The fact is that these fruits contain a large amount of coarse fiber, which has a detrimental effect on the gastric mucosa if it is empty. And the harder the fruit, the coarser the fiber it contains.
Grapes
Due to the high sugar content, it causes fermentation in the stomach, which leads to increased gas production and gastrointestinal disorders. Also, grape skins take too long to digest. Therefore, if you suffer from diseases of the stomach, intestines and urinary tract, then it is advisable to remove the skin from grapes before use. In addition, grape juice contains a lot of acids. By the way, try not to swallow the seeds they contain along with the berries - they can clog the intestines.
Watermelon
In no case should you eat watermelons immediately after the main meal (or before it) - this will cause digestive upset. Some people eat watermelon with bread, which leads to increased gas production. In addition, watermelon juice is quite aggressive and literally eats away at the mucous membrane. So if you have gastritis or an ulcer, then you can use this melon berry only in very small quantities.
Apricots and peaches
They are not recommended to be abused if you have a gastric or duodenal ulcer, or acute gastritis - they will irritate the stomach mucosa, especially if you eat an apricot or peach on an empty stomach.
bananas
American nutritionists claim that bananas are very harmful to eat on an empty stomach. There is too much potassium in them, and if you eat this fruit on an empty stomach, then the magnesium-potassium balance can be disturbed in the body, which can lead to problems with the vessels and internal organs.
Citrus
Eating orange, lemon or grapefruit juice, or the fruit itself, especially on an empty stomach, is often promoted as part of a healthy lifestyle. However, in fact, citrus fruits and juices from them are very aggressive in affecting the mucous membrane, so they should be used with caution in diseases of the stomach and duodenum, as well as the pancreas. By the way, lemon juice is generally better not to drink, especially on an empty stomach - its use can cause heartburn, pain and even vomiting. It is better to put lemon slices in tea and drink it after meals. Well-known nutritionist Dr. Herbert Shelton believes that lemons and oranges can only be eaten 20-30 minutes after eating.
Persimmon
The dietary fiber contained in persimmon is not only difficult to digest by our stomach, but also slows down the work of the entire gastrointestinal tract. If you eat persimmon on an empty stomach, you may feel as if you have a stake in your stomach. Especially harmful on an empty stomach is strongly astringent fruit.
What fruits are the most harmful
Do not forget that imported fruits are usually processed by various chemicals. First of all, we are talking about pesticides that come to fruition at the growth stage. Then, so that the fruits do not deteriorate on the road and do not lose their presentation, they are sprayed with compounds containing paraffin and antibiotics. And the citrus peel is even colored to give them a beautiful bright color.
Not so long ago, the environmental organization Environmental Working Group compiled a list of fruits containing the largest amount of substances harmful to the body. The data was obtained from 87 tests with the most popular fruits and vegetables. So, it turned out that among fruits, peaches, apricots, nectarines, grapes and pears contain the most chemicals. You can consume such fruits if you wash them thoroughly with hot water and soap and completely peel them off (although some of the "chemistry" still remains inside). You don't need to put citrus peels in tea, as some people like to do, otherwise harmful substances will get from the tea straight into your body.
And one more tip: before succumbing to the temptation to try some exotic fruit (for example, while on a trip abroad), at least look for information about it on the Internet. Otherwise, no one can answer for the consequences.
