According to Ayurvedic principles, it is generally not recommended to eat guava at night. The burning sensation you experience after eating a banana at night is likely Amlapitta (Acid Reflux/GERD)---- Late Meals: You mentioned eating after 10 PM. In Ayurveda, the period between 10 PM and 2 AM is dominated by Pitta (heat/fire). Eating heavy or sour-sweet fruits like bananas during this time interferes with the body’s natural cooling process, causing the “burning” or “acidic” rise in the chest. Fermentation: When a heavy fruit like a banana sits in a slow-moving digestive tract at night, it can ferment, leading to the bloating you’ve noticed.
Namaste, At your age, digestion becomes a little slower, especially at night. Since you are getting burning in the chest after eating banana at night, it shows that your stomach is sensitive in the late hours. Guava is slightly heavy and high in fiber, so eating it at night may cause gas or mild acidity. It is better to avoid guava at night. Try to finish your dinner a little earlier, preferably before 8–8:30 PM. Keep dinner light and warm. Avoid fruits at night. If you feel hungry, you can take a small cup of warm milk (if it suits you) or light soup. Since your burning started only recently and is mild, simple changes in meal timing and avoiding fruits at night may help. u can have 1 tsf avipattikar choornam at bedtime with 1 cup warm water. If it continues regularly, then you can consult for proper guidance.
According to ayurveda no fruits should be eaten at dinner time. It is always adviceable to have fruits in the morning before sunset. Also it is very important to remember that NO FRUIT & MILK combination should every be taken or it can cause many conditions related to the respiration and skin issues.
No fruits must be taken after 7 pm If you want can take at afternoon or morning
