According to Krieger, this problem can be avoided by paying attention to the time of day you eat fruit, as well as the quantity. Therefore, it is recommended to eat it in the morning, when our metabolism is faster, we digest better, and the body “breaks down” glucose and fructose…

She explained that glucose is regulated by insulin and then converted into energy and fat. Here’s what actually happens: When we consume fruit, that is, fructose, it is first stored in the liver, but not in the muscles. As soon as the liver’s glycogen stores are full, all the excess is converted into fat, which represents the highest risk of developing fatty liver disease.

To avoid this and neutralize the negative effects of fruits, it is advisable to consume them with other foods. Their proteins help prevent liver diseases.
