Glucose, obtained from carbohydrates, is essential for the brain, and if it comes in the form of fructose, even better. But the question that immediately comes to mind is where to get it?
Fructose is the sugar contained in fruits and arrives as a downpour in the desert when we eat them at breakfast. That is the ideal time because we wake up on an empty stomach. One of the characteristics of fruits is that they are digested quickly, so it is better that this process is alone and thus optimize the assimilation of vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates contained in them.
Glucose from fruits for the brain
Digestion begins in the mouth, with chewing, but in the case of fruits the most serious part of the process takes place in the small intestine, so if they are ingested accompanied by other foods such as dairy or meat, for example, the cycle is distorted and the body can not take full advantage of them.
The moral is then: eat the fruits alone, either on an empty stomach or two hours after eating other meals.
Another valid tip is to eat them with shell, as long as it is edible, of course. In guava, for example, it is in the peel where the highest amounts of vitamin C are concentrated. There is nothing as refreshing and healthy as a natural juice of orange, grapefruit, mango, apple, bomb fruit, guavas… and an extensive list of fruits that grow in all parts of the world.
Finally, it is important that you know that the vitamins contained in fruits oxidize quickly, so you should make the juices just at the time you are going to consume them. Avoid adding sugar and do not strain them; The peel is fiber for our intestine and only causes benefits to the intestinal flora.
