7 fruits that should be avoided at night

Pravrajya Suruchi

Here are 7 fruits you might want to avoid at night due to various digestive reasons:

Citrus fruits (oranges, grapefruits, etc.): These are high in acidity, which can cause heartburn or acid reflux, especially for people who are prone to it.

Pineapple:  Pineapples contain bromelain, an enzyme that can cause indigestion and stomach upset, particularly on an empty stomach or in large quantities.

Watermelon: Due to its high water content, watermelon can act as a diuretic, leading to more frequent urination at night which can disrupt your sleep.

Bananas: While bananas are a great source of potassium, they are also high in carbohydrates.  Consuming too many carbs close to bedtime can cause blood sugar spikes and make it difficult to fall asleep.

Grapes:  Grapes are full of natural sugars, which can also lead to blood sugar spikes and hinder sleep quality.

Dried fruits: Dried fruits are concentrated sources of sugar and fiber.  While fiber is good, too much right before bed can cause bloating and discomfort.

Figs: Similar to dried fruits, figs are high in fiber and natural sugars.  They can also cause digestive issues or disrupt sleep due to their laxative properties.
