We often hear this advice: “Eat 5 fruits and vegetables a day!” Yes, but at what time of day? Because while fruits are excellent for your health, their effect on digestion, energy or sleep varies depending on the time of day you eat them. As a result, a beneficial fruit that is misplaced during the day can sometimes upset the body. Here are the ideal times to eat 15 common fruits… and why it can make a difference.
Morning: focus on energy and detox
Apples: Rich in pectin, they stimulate intestinal transit. Ideal to start the day.
Citrus fruits: Oranges, lemons, grapefruits… They strengthen the natural defenses when you wake up.
Strawberries: Full of antioxidants, they support the metabolism first thing in the morning.
Pineapple: Thanks to bromelain, it facilitates digestion and calms morning inflammation.
Pears: Sweet and well tolerated, they contribute to a serene digestion.
