THE RIGHT WAY TO EATING FRUIT

Eat fruit on empty stomach

If you can master the correct way of eating fruits, you`ll have the secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight. We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths. It's not as easy as you think. It's important to know how and when to eat.

 
What is the correct way of eating fruits?
 
IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS BEFORE OR AFTER YOUR MEALS! 

FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH!
 
If you eat fruit THIS WAY, 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.
 
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE EAT FRUIT WITH MEALS?

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


All the goodness in fruit.

KIWI: Tiny but mighty. This is a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E & fibre. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange.

APPLE: An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon cancer, heart attack & stroke.
 
STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits & protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals.
 
ORANGE: Sweetest medicine. Taking 2-4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve kidney stones as well as lessens the risk of colon cancer.

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

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. Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the nutrients at all. You only get to taste. Cooking destroys all the vitamins. 

FYI - Drinking Cold water after a meal = STORES MORE FAT IN YOUR BODY

For those who like to drink cold water or coke with your meal - this is applicable to you.

It is nice to have a cup of cold drink with or after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oils in your food 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 intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and weight gain. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.
