Dear friends,
I used to eat banana on empty stomach thinking that it is good for health. Earlier I read somewhere, fruits must be more beneficial if it eaten on an empty stomach.
But today I have gone through an article where it is written, it is not good to eat banana on an empty stomach. It says the high level of sugar may make you feel drained after a few hours. It may make you sleepy and fatigue. Its acidic nature also may harm you some ways.
According to experts, not only banana but other fruits also should not eat on an empty stomach. The reason is, now fruits are not natural any more. Artificially grown fruits may contain chemicals and chemicals are harmful for us than we think. So it is good to avoid having fruits on an empty stomach.
This is not applicable for those who are growing/cultivating own fruits.
How do you take/eat your fruits? Are you a fruit person on regular basis?

I don't really care about it since I don't know which is better. Sometimes I have the banana when I am hungry and sometimes I have it right after a meal. I also know that usually the tennis players like to have a banana when they have a break. They can gain the energy soon after having a banana. So I think it is alright to have it when you have empty stomach.

I do like taking fruits but as you said with all those chemicals and news going around about how natural fruits are no longer natural...The fun is gone

Bananas do not taste anything like they used to so its very rare that I eat them I can tolerate things like cherries on their own but not melon which does not taste like melon either.

When I'm hungry and my stomach is empty, I eat fruits when that's the only available food.

Yes,I have bananas in the morning sometimes. I don't have it on regular basis. I was not aware of it that we should not have fruits on an empty stomach. From now on wards I would not have fruits on an empty stomach.
