Fruit is such a great way to get in tons of vitamins, minerals, and natural, energy-boosting sugar. However, if you’ve ever had a big meal and then went straight to a piece of fruit for dessert and felt pain or discomfort afterward, you’re not alone.

There are a lot of misconceptions about when you should be eating fruit, and there are more optimal times than others.

One of the better times to eat fruit is in the morning because it’s when your metabolism is the fastest. This will allow the sugars and the nutrients to be absorbed best and give you the energy to start your day.

You don’t need to eat fruit on a completely empty stomach during this time, but it’s definitely recommended to drink water first to rehydrate your body.

If you need something sweet after a meal but want to avoid unnatural sugary things, the fruit is a great option. However, the best way to eat it is to wait at least 30 minutes after your meal so your food can start to digest. Because of all the fiber and sugar in fruit, it can slow down your digestion a lot, and that can lead to cramps, bloating, and more.

A lot of cultures and families like to enjoy a cup of tea after sitting down for a meal. However, this may actually not be the best thing to do for your body. Surprisingly, all teas, even herbal teas, as well as coffee, have a compound in them called polyphenols. This compound isn’t inherently bad for you, but after a meal, it can really hurt your nutrient absorption.

What polyphenols do is to block the absorption of iron in the body. This is really significant because a lot of people that follow a vegetarian or vegan diet already have trouble getting enough iron in their diet as it is. This also goes for people who are on their period, since the loss of blood also leads to lower iron levels.

Luckily, people who eat a diet that’s high in red meat don’t have to worry as much. However, if you’re not one of these people, you might want to consider swapping your tea or coffee for another drink after a big meal. If you like to feeling of drinking something warm, especially after a large meal, opt for something simple like warm water with lemon juice or even warm water on its own after a meal to help with digestion.
