Here are 3 times when you should not drink orange juice.

- When hungry

Drinking orange juice when hungry seriously affects the stomach. The amount of vitamin C in orange juice can interact with stomach acid, causing ulcers if consumed in large amounts.

- At night

At night is when the body rests and does not expend energy. If you drink orange juice at this time, the body will have excess energy and accumulate water and fat in the abdomen. Drinking orange juice at night can also cause nocturia, insomnia, and the acid in oranges affects tooth enamel. Drinking before bed also affects the kidneys, increases the risk of excess minerals, and causes stones.

- When you have just finished drinking milk

You should not drink orange juice right after drinking milk because the protein in milk will react with tartaric acid and vitamin C in oranges, affecting the digestive process, causing bloating, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

Avoid drinking citrus juice while taking medication, drink 1-2 hours before or after taking medication.

To ensure safety, you should drink orange juice in the morning, after meals to absorb more nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and enough energy for the whole day. This is also the time when the stomach absorbs nutrients most easily. You can drink orange juice one to two hours after meals.

People who are sensitive to ingredients in orange juice such as vitamin C should not use it. People with gastritis or digestive problems should also limit their intake because orange juice is sour and contains an amount of acid that can irritate the stomach lining. People with diabetes, liver failure, or kidney failure should also consider. Normal people should also not drink too much orange juice because it will cause an excess of unnecessary vitamin C for the body.
