Eating fruits with or after meals can be beneficial, but timing matters. _Eating fruits with meals:_ 1. _Okay for some fruits_: Bananas, avocados, and apples can be eaten with meals, as they're relatively easy to digest. 2. _Avoid citrus fruits_: Citrus fruits like oranges, grapefruits, and lemons can cause stomach upset when eaten with meals. _Eating fruits after meals:_ 1. _Wait for 30-60 minutes_: Allow your body to digest the meal before eating fruits. This helps prevent digestive discomfort. 2. _Choose gentle fruits_: Opt for fruits like bananas, mangoes, or pineapples, which are easy to digest. _General guidelines:_ 1. _Listen to your body_: Pay attention to how your body reacts to eating fruits with or after meals. 2. _Experiment with timing_: Find the optimal timing that works best for your digestive system. Remember, everyone's digestive system is unique, so it's essential to experiment and find what works best for you.
