FRUIT - Guide
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 AFTER YOUR MEALS! - FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN
ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.
If you eat
fruit on an 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.
FRUIT IS THE
MOST IMPORTANT FOOD - Let's say you eat two slices ofbread and then a
slice of fruit.. The slice of fruit is ready to gostraight 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 water-melon I
burp, when I eat durian (fruit from Asia with a foul smell yet delicious
flavor) 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 putrifying 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 an 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 fruit fast 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!
