Correct Way of Eating Fruits

We all think eating fruits mean just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouth.

It's not as easy as you think, it's important to know how and when to eat.

What's the correct way of eating fruits?
It means not eating fruits AFTER YOUR MEAL! - Fruits should be eaten on a EMPTY STOMACH

If you eat fruit on empty stomach, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.

Fruits is the most important food - Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit..

The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so.

In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turn to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil.

So please eat fruits on an empty stomach or before meals! You have heard people complaining - every time i eat watermelon i burp, when i eat durian my stomach bloats up, when i eat banana i feel like running to the toilet etc. actually all this will not arise if you eat the fruit on empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas and hence you will bloat.

Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst and dark circles under the eyes - all these will not happen if you take fruits on empty stomach.

There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the Secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight.

When you need to drink fruit juice - drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the cans. Don't even drink juice that has been heated up. Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the nutrients at all. You only get to taste.
Cooking destroys all the vitamins.

But eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it.

You can go on a 3-day fruitfast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look.


Drinking cold waterrinking after meal = Cancer ! Can you believe this ?
For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. (me)

It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this sludge reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intenstine faster than the solid food. It will line the intenstine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cance. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.


Watermelon
Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. They are also a key source of lycopene - the cancer fighting oxidant. Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C & potassium.

Strawberry
Protective fruit, have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits & protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel - clogging free radicals.


Papaya & Guava
Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high vitamin C content. Papaya is rich in carotene; this is good for eyes. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation.


Orange
Sweetest medicine, eating 2 - 4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholestetol, prevent & dissolve, kidney stones as well as lessens the risk of colon cancer.


Kiwi
Tiny but mighty. This is a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E & fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of a orange.


Apple
An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoid which enchances the activity of vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon cancer, heart attack & stroke.
