You won’t gain weight if you eat apples at nine o’clock in the evening. Harvard University conducted a 14-year dietary tracking survey on 110,000 people and found that those who eat more fruits every day have a significantly lower incidence of cardiovascular disease than those who eat less fruits. At the same time, eating more fruits can also help reduce the prevalence of stroke.

If there are abundant fruits in the daily diet, it can also better reduce the prevalence of hypertension. Fruits are also rich in lutein and zeaxanthin, which are of great significance in preventing age-related macular plaques. Eating more fruits can also reduce the incidence and mortality of cancer, and has a positive effect on preventing diabetes and obesity.

There is no strict time limit for eating fruits

Fruits have so many benefits for our health that nutritional recommendations from countries around the world recommend eating more fruits. The latest Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that adult men eat 2 cups (2 cups) of fruit per day, while adult women eat 1.5 cups (1.5 cups) of fruit per day (1 cup is about 237 ml). The Chinese Nutrition Society recommends that adults eat 200-400 grams of fruit every day.

But the actual situation is that the consumption of fruits by residents around the world is still relatively low, far from reaching the recommended consumption. Therefore, the problem we face now is more about not eating enough fruit than eating fruit at the wrong time.

The Healthy Plate from the Harvard School of Public Health recommends that it is best to eat some fruits for three meals a day, and it is best to have half of the plate composed of fruits and vegetables. This is not emphasized here. You can only eat fruit for breakfast, but not for dinner. At the same time, in order to increase everyone's fruit consumption, it is also recommended that we put the fruit outside where you can easily see it, so that you will want to eat it more.
