    Some people like to eat fruit immediately after a meal, thinking that it can help digestion and supplement vitamins. In fact, fruits contain more carbohydrates (especially fructose), which is easily absorbed by the small intestine. However, if it is blocked in the stomach by meals and other foods, it cannot quickly pass through to the small intestine, which can easily cause flatulence, upset stomach, and affect the absorption of soluble vitamins, but cannot achieve the nutritional effect of fruits. At the same time, eating fruits immediately after a meal can also cause a significant increase in blood sugar load. The time to eat fruit should be 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal (ie between meals).
