How long after juice consumption before eating?
Posted by: Anonymous User ()

Hi All, Second question in a row. Is there a preffered time to wait after comsuming a fresh juice and eating? I have my juices in the morning, then wait as long as I can (time permitting, about 15 minutes max) before eating a bowl of museli (home made, no wheat, and warm water instead of milk.)

I'm wondering is there an ideal length of time, to let the juice be digested/assimilated on it's own before mixing it with food, or is there no difference? Thanks in advance.

It depends on the specific components, they oxidize at different rates.

If you poured it on a flat plate and left it at room temperature for 8 hours, there would be very little vitamin C left.

I usually drink mine within 15 minutes. If you seal yours in a tall narrow container after juicing you might be able to get away with 4 hours in the fridge or longer. But it's really best right away.

Thanks for the reply, but I think you misread the question, or perhaps I wasn't clear. I juice and drink immediatly. I'm asking how long should I wait before eating anything else, or does it not make any difference? Thanks.

Yes, I misread the question.

I am sorry but I don't feel qualified to answer your original question. I think the food combiners who are more careful about what they eat and when will have better input (I don't food combine). Maybe you'll get a better response on the main board.

Yes. 30-60 minutes should be plenty of time. Just my opinion/suggestion.
