Can We Eat Apple and Watermelon Together? (Expert Answer)

Short Answer: It is generally safe to eat apple and watermelon together or one after another. Because there is no scientific proof that they interfere with each other’s digestion or cause any harm.

Apple and watermelon both are healthy fruits.

Apple contains fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants, and watermelon has vitamin A, vitamin B6, and potassium.

According to Ayurveda, watermelon should be eaten alone, not even with other fruits, because it is simpler in content and passes through the stomach quickly.

If watermelon is combined with other foods that take longer to digest, it can cause fermentation, gas, and indigestion.

Apple, on the other hand, is compatible with most fruits, except for melons and bananas.

But according to science, there is no conclusive evidence that eating apple and watermelon together or one after another is harmful or beneficial.

Some studies suggest that combining fruits with different sugar compositions can affect the absorption of glucose and fructose, but the effects are not significant.

However, some people may experience bloating, diarrhea, or allergic reactions from eating certain fruits or combinations of fruits, depending on their individual sensitivities and digestive health.

As a nutritionist, my advice is to try first.

If after eating apple and watermelon together you experience any discomfort, then stop combining them.

And if you can tolerate them, then continue.

However, you should be mindful of the quality and quantity of apple and watermelon you consume.

Because too much of any fruit can cause excess sugar intake, dental problems, and weight gain.

Whether you eat them together or not, you should always choose fresh, ripe, and organic apple and watermelon.

Because they have more nutrients, flavor, and safety than unripe, overripe, or conventionally grown fruits.

You can store apple and watermelon in a cool, dry place for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Do not store them in direct sunlight, near heat sources, or in plastic bags.

Cut fruits should be wrapped tightly and refrigerated, and consumed within a few days.

Finally, remember, apple and watermelon are delicious and nutritious fruits that can hydrate, energize, and nourish your body.

But moderation and variety are the keys to a balanced diet.

So enjoy them as part of a healthy eating plan that includes other fruits, vegetables, grains, proteins, and fats.
