It is a custom in my country to eat some dessert after a meal. It could be a fruit or a sugary treat. But I heard that eating fruits after a meal is not ideal or good. Do you agree with that?

I eat desserts after meals but I eat fruits before the main meal usually in the morning.

We have the same tradition in my country. Eating a dessert after every meal is definately not healthy.

@judyann21 Maybe it is simply a nice thing to finish a meal with the sweet taste. But I don't know its reason.

is it because you are craving for it after a meal? some people in my country even drink soda after meal. It is sweet and at the same time, they say, it helps them burp after a hearty meal.

@judyann21 Yes. Some of my friends drink soda after meals. Not regularly.

I have read that if you are going to eat fruit with a meal, you should eat the fruit first to help digestion, but I have never researched it further to know if this is true.
