I'm writing this as a result of a topic I read on the FP (Health benefits of fruit).

Some will tell you to eat fruits in the morning, others will say at night. Some will say before main meal others will say after.

I need to be enlightened.

The body is efficient in term of extracting nutrients from food. The stomach is the storage of food eaten, it releases only small amounts of food at a period for easy digestion in the intestine.
According to research, the intestines have the power to absorb twice the nutrients of what an individual eats daily. The small intestine can absorb as many nutrients as possible due to how it is designed.

It is over 30 square meters (320 square feet) and up to 6 meters (20 feet) in length of absorptive area.
This lengthy and large absorptive area simply means that getting nutrients from all types of food including fruit is not a big deal for the digestive system, irrespective of when fruit is consumed ( be it before or after meal, immediately after the meal or giving some gap in between the meal and the fruit or even consuming it together with the meal).

Finally, fruit helps prevent and manage chronic diseases and illness, protect and activate your immune system, help in food digestion, help in hydration, boost bone health, fruits also serves as powerful antioxidant and many more.
Therefore, it is good  to always consume fruits and feel free to consume it at any convenient time.
