The temptation is great, but such a dessert is nothing but troubles.

It would seem, what could be bad or harmful in the fact that after a tasty and hearty dinner, instead of a cake, bun or cookies, treat yourself to dessert with healthy seasonal fruits and berries – apricots, cherries, currants, raspberries? It turns out that right after the main meal it is unwise to have a snack like that. A specialist told Wday.ru about this.
At first, you can not eat berries and fruits after meals for people who have problems with the gastrointestinal tract. And this is most of us: who have high acidity, who have gastritis or other inflammatory bowel diseases. In this case, the body is weakened, the intestine does not work well, and a huge amount of useful substances – trace elements, sugar, which we get, including from fruits – are digested worse, which creates an additional load on the gastrointestinal tract.
Secondly, too much protein along with sugars can cause gas production. So, if a person had a good lunch, and then ate more berries, then he may have bloating. This is not that harmful, there is nothing global in this, but unpleasant sensations and discomfort are guaranteed.
It is best to make fruits and berries as a snack, and breakfast and lunch as the main meal, that is, spread them for two hours. For example, lunch, and two hours after it – berries. The minimum time you should wait between a meal and a berry dessert is 30-40 minutes.
By the way, this is not the only opinion: the specialists of Rospotrebnadzor also advise against eating your lunch with berries. For example, the same cherry will cause severe swelling and indigestion. So close to embarrassment. And if you eat more than 300-400 grams of berries at a time, diarrhea may occur. And you also need to remember that some cherries are not allowed at all.
However, you should not eat berries and fruits on an empty stomach either. This is also fraught with problems with the digestive tract.
“I think it is better to eat fruits and berries after meals, and not on an empty stomach. They are often sour, and if they are eaten on an empty stomach, there may be an exacerbation of gastritis. This is a chronic disease that, once it has arisen, remains for life and, under certain conditions, is exacerbated. In addition, if a person eats fruits and berries between meals, he will kill his appetite, and his next meal will shift. If they are sweet, then they will replace a full meal for him, because he will gorge himself on sugar instead of normal food. “
