We all think eating fruits means simply buying fruit, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths. You will benefit much more if you know how and when to eat.

Fruits
-----------
Fruits should be taken in an empty stomach… not as dessert after the meal as is often done.

If you eat fruit like that, it will also serve a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.

Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit.

As fruit digests faster than bread, the slice of fruit digests quickly and is ready to go straight through
the stomach into the intestines, but its passage is blocked by the bread which takes longer to digest…

…In the meantime the whole meal ferments and turns to acid. Consequently, when the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices,
the entire mass of food begins to spoil.

So it is better to eat your fruits in an empty stomach or
before your meals !

You have heard people complaining – every time I eat water-melon 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 in an empty stomach.

The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas and hence you will bloat !

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

Acidic?
------------
It is incorrectly presumed that some fruits like orange and lemon are acidic and will enhance acidity in the stomach. Research however shows that all fruits become alkaline in our body.

Fruit Juice
-------------
When you need to drink fruit juice – drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the cans.

Don't 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.

So stop making 'durian porridge' if you want nutrients.
Cooking fruit destroys all the vitamins.

Eating the pulp or whole fruit is far better than drinking the juice as the fibre is good for you.

If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it.

Fruit Fast
---------------
A 3-day “fruit fast” is a very simple and effective way
to cleanse and de-toxify 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 !

During the “fruit fast” you can eat different fruits at different times, although occasionally mixed fruit salad could also be permissible and more interesting.

If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits,
you have the secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight.

Well, hope those who have read this have gained an extra knowledge about fruits and how it should be taken.

Enjoy!
