Why you shouldn't eat fruit after meals

Sweet and sour-sweet fruits are a source of "simple sugars".

The digestion process of such components can be seriously slowed down by starch.

And the source of the latter are some popular side dishes (pasta, potatoes, etc.)

The process of digesting simple carbohydrates may not go quite right due to fats, which may also be present in large quantities in lunch or dinner.

The results are sad: increased stress on the gastrointestinal tract, rumbling and bloating.
