Experts say drinking orange juice at night will do more harm than good.

Orange juice is a highly nutritious drink, good for health and increases the body's resistance.

Many valuable vitamins found in oranges such as vitamin C and vitamin B9 (folic acid) are very beneficial in restoring the health of sick people.

In addition, oranges also prevent cardiovascular disease, high blood fat, anti-aging and increase the body's immunity.

However, we should pay attention to the time of drinking orange juice to avoid harming our health.

Bad time to drink orange juice

Many studies show that you should not drink orange juice at night because it is a diuretic, causing frequent urination at night and insomnia.

In addition, before going to bed, if you drink orange juice, your saliva will not be secreted as much as when you are awake, so it cannot neutralize all the acid in the orange. If the acid remains on your teeth, it will attack and damage the enamel.

An important factor to note when drinking orange juice at night is that the rich mineral content and energy source in orange juice will be suitable to supplement when our body is working and depleted of energy.

Evening is the time when the body rests and does not consume energy. If you drink orange juice at night, your body will have excess energy and accumulate water and fat in the abdomen. Therefore, it will lose the effect of weight loss, causing weight gain due to excess nutrition, and lose the ability to support kidney stone treatment.

Besides, drinking orange juice at night increases the possibility of kidney stones forming because of excess minerals, which will deposit and form kidney stones.

In addition, we also note not todrink orange juicebefore brushing your teeth. The acid in orange juice sticks to the surface of the tooth enamel and under the rubbing effect of the toothbrush can damage the tooth enamel if you regularly eat and drink orange juice before brushing your teeth.

If you have this habit, you should rinse your mouth immediately after drinking orange juice to eliminate acid adhesion on teeth, preventing acid corrosion of tooth enamel.

Drink orange juice properly

- Drink orange juice in the morning: Orange juice contains minerals, iron, vitamins and other nutrients. Therefore, each glass of orange juice in the morning can help you recharge your energy for a productive day.

- Drink orange juice about 1-2 hours after eating: Usually after eating, food has not had time to digest, making it difficult to absorb nutrients and blood sugar levels will increase more easily if you drink orange juice right now.

Besides, drinking orange juice on an empty stomach or when hungry can easily cause stomach pain and stomach ache, because oranges contain a lot of acid. Therefore, you should rest 1-2 hours after eating before drinking orange juice to achieve effectiveness and absorb nutrients./.
