      1. Avoid rinsing your mouth when eating fruits.

      Some fruits contain a variety of fermented sugars, which are highly corrosive to teeth. If you do not rinse your mouth after eating them, the fruit residue in the mouth can easily cause dental caries.

      2. Avoid eating fruits immediately after meals

      Eating fruit after a meal will not only not aid digestion, but will cause flatulence and constipate . Therefore, it is better to eat fruit 2 hours after a meal or 1 hour before a meal.

      3. Avoid using alcohol to disinfect fruits

      Although alcohol can kill bacteria on the surface of fruits, it will cause changes in the color, aroma, and taste of the fruits. The acid effect between alcohol and the fruits will reduce the nutritional value of the fruits.

      4. Avoid eating too much fruit

      Excessive consumption of fruits will cause copper deficiency in the human body, which will lead to increased cholesterol in the blood and cause coronary heart disease , so it is not advisable to eat too much fruit in a short period of time.

      5. Avoid eating fruits which is unhygienic

      Eating fruits that have started to rot, as well as fruits that are not dust-proof or fly-proof and have not been thoroughly washed and disinfected, such as strawberries, mulberries, sliced ​​watermelons, etc., are prone to digestive tract infectious diseases such as dysentery, typhoid, and acute gastroenteritis.

      6. Avoid using a kitchen knife to peel fruits

      Because kitchen knives often come into contact with meat, fish, and vegetables, parasites or parasite eggs will be brought to the fruits, causing people to become infected with parasitic diseases. In particular, the rust on the kitchen knife will react chemically with the tannic acid contained in the apples, causing the color, aroma and taste of the apples to deteriorate.

      7. Avoid eating raw fruits without peeling them

      Some people believe that the peel contains more vitamins than the pulp, so they eat the fruit with the peel. So is it okay to eat fruit without peeling it? Experts point out that when fruits are infested with diseases and insect pests, they are often sprayed with pesticides. The pesticides will penetrate and remain in the wax of the peel, so the amount of pesticide residues in the peel is much higher than in the pulp.
