Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

I'm wondering if it's alright to eat a banana or any other fruit with my meal, or should I wait until after I've finished eating? Is there a recommended amount of time I should wait before having fruit following a meal?

My blood type is A, and I've been following all the recommended diets for type A, but I just can't seem to gain any weight. Do you have any advice on a proper diet for someone with my blood type, or maybe some supplements I could try? I'm a bit concerned and would love some guidance.
