Eating fruits is more than just a tasty habit—it’s a science. When and how you consume fruit can impact digestion, energy levels, and even nutrient absorption.
When to Eat Fruit?
- Before Meals: If you're aiming for weight management, eating fruit before meals may help control appetite.
- After Meals: Fruits like pineapple and papaya contain enzymes that aid digestion, making them great post-meal options.
- Between Meals: If you need a mid-afternoon boost, opt for low-GI fruit like apples or berries.
How to Prepare Fruits?
- Wash Properly: Pesticide residues are a concern. Soaking fruits in a baking soda solution for 12 minutes can help remove contaminants.
- Eat Whole Instead of Juiced: Whole fruits retain fiber, slowing sugar absorption and promoting gut health. At Karviva, our TCM (traditional Chinese Medicine) based formulations maintain the integrity of whole foods, ensuring balanced nutrition.
Portion Control Matters: While fruit is nutrient-dense, overconsumption can lead to excess sugar intake. Stick to 2 servings per day—roughly the size of two cupped hands.
By understanding how and when to eat fruit, you can maximize its benefits and align your diet with Karviva’s holistic wellness approach.
