Eating fruit as a late-night snack is not good for digestion, and because fruits contain too much sugar, it can easily lead to excess calories and cause obesity. In particular, eating high-fiber fruits before bed can affect sleep due to a full stomach, and it is even more harmful to people with poor gastrointestinal function. Remember which people should not eat these fruits!
Mango
is a common tropical fruit with a high glycemic index, so people with diabetes should not eat too much of it. It is also an allergenic food; people with allergies may have an allergic reaction just from touching the peel, so those with allergies should be cautious. Soaking mangoes in salt water before eating does not reduce the chance of an allergic reaction, it only improves the taste.
Dragon Fruit
is rich in vitamins B1, B2, B3, and C, as well as carotene, anthocyanins, and trace elements like calcium, phosphorus, and iron. It also contains water-soluble dietary fiber, which can prevent and relieve constipation and is known as a "weight-loss fruit." However, because its natural glucose is easily absorbed, diabetics should not eat too much in one meal. People with gastrointestinal disorders or who are prone to diarrhea should also eat less of it.
Sugar-apple
Every 100g of sugar-apple can contain 15.3% to 18.3% total sugar and 265mg of vitamin C. Because sugar-apples are sweet and have a high sugar content, people with diabetes should eat them with caution.
Avocado
is known as the "butter of the forest" because it is rich in plant fats. It is a high-energy, low-sugar fruit. From a health perspective, avocado aids digestion and detoxification, and has important physiological functions such as lowering cholesterol and blood lipids, and protecting the cardiovascular and liver systems. It is suitable for infants and the elderly, and it is recommended to eat one a day. However, because avocados are very high in plant fats, they should not be eaten at night.
Mangosteen
is rich in components such as hydroxycitric acid and xanthones. Hydroxycitric acid is effective in inhibiting fat synthesis, suppressing appetite, and reducing weight. However, excessive intake of the xanthones it contains may increase the risk of acidosis. Generally, eating four or five mangosteens at a time is sufficient.
Durian
has moderate levels of protein and fat. Its glycemic index is about 42, which is not very high, but two-thirds of its components are sugar. For people with high blood sugar, high or low blood pressure, poor heart function, or stomach ulcers, eating durian requires caution. It is best to reduce your rice intake when eating durian to avoid excessive calorie intake and worsening of existing conditions.
Chilean Cherries
are high in sugar and rich in various elements such as sugar, protein, vitamins, calcium, iron, phosphorus, and potassium. Their iron content is among the highest in fruits, making them a great food for supplementing iron and benefiting the brain. Diabetics should not overindulge.
