Fruit is a nutritious food source but should pay attention to the ideal consumption time for each type.Dr. Xiao Lingzi (Taiwan, China) reminded that some fruits should not be eaten at dinner or close to bedtime.Because they can "chase sleep out of the house", limit the amount of nutrients absorbing and many side effects other than health.
1. Citrus fruit

Citrus fruits are often highly acidic.Eating a lot in the evening or eating close to sleeping time can cause heartburn or acid reflux, leading to difficulty sleeping.They can also irritate the stomach lining, worsen digestive problems, especially for people with gastroesophageal reflux disease.
2. Grapes
Grapes are delicious, nutritious fruits but they contain high sugar.When eating grapes in the evening, blood sugar can fluctuate, making it awake and difficult to fall asleep.Should keep the day meals to make the most of their nutritional value without interrupting sleep.
2. Watermelon
Watermelon is a nutritious and delicious fruit but eating watermelon in the evening can cause urination many times in the night due to high water content.This not only interrupts sleep but also can cause discomfort to the stomach.It is best to enjoy watermelon during the day to avoid adversely affecting sleep.

4. Mango
Mango is a sweet and nutritious fruit but contains high sugar content.When eating mango in the evening, blood sugar may increase rapidly, leading to difficulty sleeping.To take advantage of the nutritional benefits that mangoes bring, choose the time to eat in the morning or afternoon, when the body can digest easier.
Naturally, this does not mean that you absolutely do not eat the above 4 fruits in the evening.You can eat them in small amounts, when the abdomen is not more than 80% and at least 3 hours away from bedtime.
