The body has trouble digesting the carbohydrates in fruit in combination with other foods is also not supported by the science. The body produces digestive enzymes for protein, fat and carbohydrates and releases them from the pancreas together. If we could not digest mixed meals, we would not even be able to digest most foods since most foods are a combination of nutrients. For example, even vegetables like green beans and broccoli are a mix of carbohydrate and protein.
What's more, gas is produced by the colon -- not the stomach. So while fruit can cause gas in some people, the contents of their stomachs will have little relevance. According to Pochapin, food reaches the colon about six to 10 hours after we eat it. So while fruit isn't damaging to eat at any time, it is also true that we spend many hours digesting it anyway.
Ultimately, the better question is how much -- rather than when -- we eat healthful foods like fruit.
The concern should not be empty stomach or with a meal. Rather the concern should be how can I eat more of this health-boosting food group.

fruits should be eaten an hour before a meal or an hour after a meal.
Why an hour?

How is your being a medical student relevant to this issue?
Where do you get your opinion from? A textbook or an experiment you conducted?

I normally eat fruits after meal for digestion

Eat fruits on empty stomach whether before or after meals. At least 30 minutes before meals is better because your stomach should be empty then and it must have digested before you eat your meal. A combination of fruits and meal together in the stomach is bad for human system.

Fruits are to be eaten on an empty stomach. However, there are few things you need to know about fruits and the best time to eat them. My advice...fruits are best taken as the first thing in the morning. (not to replace breakfast though). They're best taken as soon as you wake up; also in between meals when your stomach is empty. Some can be taken as liquids or as water all through the day like Lemon/ginger water which is perfect for detoxification.
You can read more online on benefits of fruits to the body.

You go fear nau.

Anyway, it depends on the company you got the job.

If its a manufacturing firm, take the fruit first, then wait 15 minutes before the meal.

If its a service provider, eat both simultaneously.

If its an oil company (palm oil, ororo, palmkanel oil, olive oil, hair cream, relaxer etc) take the food first, wait 15 minutes before you take the fruit.

If its oil company (crude oil), take the fruit and let them package the food as takeaway.


for ur mind now, u have made sense

Fruits should be eaten an hour before a meal or an hour after a meal. fruit intake however depends on type of fruit u re taking. Depending on the fruit, orange can cause increase in gastric emptying after a diet.

I dare not take orange after eating. I get hungry again like so soon..

Why must they be eaten on an empty stomach.

The fundamental error with what you hae written is the assumption that all fruits somehow constitute a nutritional classorhave some kind of Nutritional homogeneity

"fruits" are nutritionally very diverse and can be eaten at any time or in any combination.

All this talk about best eaten at mdnight when there is a full moon is nonsense


The only rationale for eating fruits before mealsisas a weight loss strategy with the idea that it will reduce food intake at meals whether that works in practice is another matter completely.

I think it is best before meals... cos I've done a little experiment on this in my 500L

Some fruits when consumed immediately after a meal especially supper might lead to digestion issues but such a problem is seem when consumed before.

You can also take it A LITTLE WHILE after a meal (but I don't think that one will suit this your situation)
Sir would you mind giving us the name of those fruits which cause indigestion cos I can categorically say that most fruits (esp tropical) aid bowel movement and digestion.
This is so cos of their high fibrous content from the cellulose frame work.
