It is said that the fruit is gold in the morning, silver at noon and copper at night. Why do we eat fruit in the morning?

? "Eating fruit in the morning is gold, eating fruit at noon is silver, and eating fruit at night becomes copper."

Fruit is the main source of vitamins A and C in the diet. Pectin contained in fruit has the function of dietary fiber, and fruit is also indispensable for maintaining acid-base balance and electrolyte balance. According to expert analysis, the term "gold, silver and copper" means that eating fruit in the morning has the highest nutritional value and eating fruit at night has the lowest nutritional value.

The reason is that when people get up early, the liver sugar supply to the brain runs out, so eating fruit can supplement sugar as soon as possible. And eating fruit in the morning, all kinds of vitamins and nutrients are easily absorbed.

The digestion and absorption ability of the human body has little to do with the time of eating. The ability of digestion and absorption is mainly related to the secretion of digestive juice and gastrointestinal peristalsis. After eating, the digestive system of healthy people will secrete digestive juice, enhance peristalsis and promote digestion and absorption.

Fruit is rich in antioxidants such as polyphenols and flavonoids, and it is also an important source of vitamin C. Now there is a lot of research evidence that eating more fruits is good for human health.

Harvard University conducted a dietary follow-up survey of 1 10000 people for 14 years, and found that the incidence of cardiovascular diseases in people who eat more fruits every day is significantly lower than that in people who eat less fruits. At the same time, eating more fruits is also conducive to reducing the prevalence of stroke. If the daily diet is rich in fruits, it can also reduce the prevalence of hypertension.
