As the pace of modern society continues to accelerate, many people find themselves busy with work. The pressure from work leads to irregularities in their daily lives, such as staying up late to finish tasks or waking up too early. Such habits pose a risk to individual health. Many are aware that eating breakfast is beneficial, but when one goes to bed too late the night before and has to wake up early the next day, the time available for sleep is often reduced, leaving breakfast as the only time that can be sacrificed. It always feels like time in the morning passes quickly, and despite not doing much, time quietly slips away. On the surface, skipping breakfast may seem like saving money, but in reality, it is depleting one’s life.
Women who want to lose weight often eat “one item” on an empty stomach in the morning to reduce fat intake and shed pounds.
What I want to discuss today is a common fruit: the apple. Apples are frequently seen in our daily lives. Some people believe that when waking up on an empty stomach, it is unsuitable to eat fruits, as they contain a rich amount of dietary fiber, which may increase intestinal motility. If the motility becomes too fast, it could lead to abdominal pain or diarrhea. However, when it comes to eating fruits, there is no need to worry about potential diarrhea or belly aches after getting up, at least not with apples.
Apples have high nutritional value, and many women who are trying to lose weight prefer to do so by eating apples. Although the stomach is empty after waking up, consuming apples does not lead to discomfort unless they are not thoroughly washed. Moreover, eating apples helps increase feelings of fullness, reducing the risk of obesity from overeating. Also, eating apples does not take long, making them suitable for those who do not have much time for breakfast after getting up.
Why apples instead of other fruits? Is it that other fruits are not suitable to eat on an empty stomach? The choice of apples is because they are low in fat and high in nutritional value. After a night of energy consumption, our body needs to replenish some energy, and the best way to do this is by consuming sugars. However, sugar alone does not enhance the feeling of fullness, which is why apples, with their not-so-low sugar content, are chosen. They can increase feelings of fullness while also providing nutrition and energy to the body, achieving two goals in one.
