It's generally advisable to avoid eating dry fruits immediately after drinking fruit juice.
While there's no inherent harm in combining them, the high sugar content in both fruit juice and dry fruits can lead to a significant sugar spike in your bloodstream.
Here's a breakdown:
-
High Sugar Content: Fruit juices, even natural ones, are often concentrated sources of fructose (fruit sugar). Dry fruits are also naturally high in sugars, which become even more concentrated during the drying process.
-
Potential for Sugar Overload: Consuming both together could result in a rapid rise in blood sugar levels. This can be particularly problematic for individuals with diabetes or insulin resistance.
-
Digestive Considerations: While not a major issue for everyone, the concentrated sugars might cause mild digestive discomfort in some individuals.
Therefore, while not strictly forbidden, it's better to consume dry fruits and fruit juice at separate times to manage sugar intake effectively. Consider healthier combinations, such as dry fruits with nuts or yogurt, and juice with a source of protein or fiber to slow down sugar absorption.
