EAT FRUIT ON AN EMPTY STOMACH

EAT FRUIT ON AN EMPTY STOMACH

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

FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD. When you eat fruit on an empty stomach, the fruit
goes straight through the stomach into the intestines. If you eat other food, which takes longer to digest, the fruit is prevented from going straight through your system.

The minute the fruit comes into contact with the other food in your stomach  (and digestive juices), the  entire mass of food begins to spoil, and the whole meal rots and ferments, and turns to acid. This is why some people complain of burping, flatulence, bloating or diarrhoea the fruit mixes with the putrefying other food, and produces gas.Conditions such as greying hair, balding, nervous outbursts, and dark circles under the eyes WILL NOT HAPPEN if you eat fruits on an empty stomach.

All fruits become alkaline in your body (even lemons and oranges, which are considered to be acidic). If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, on an empty stomach, you have the secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness, and normal weight.

If you choose to drink fruit juice, drink only fresh fruit juice (not the canned variety). When you drink fresh fruit juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful, slowly, allowing it to mix with your saliva before swallowing it. Don’t drink juice that has been heated up, or eat cooked fruits, because you don’t get the nutrients at all (you only get the taste). Cooking fruit destroys all the vitamins.Eating whole fruits is actually much better than drinking the juice, and you get lots more fibre. If you want to cleanse your body, you can go on a 3-day fruit fast. 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.

KIWI: Kiwi fruit is tiny, but mighty, and is a very good source of potassium,magnesium, vitamin E and fibre. The vitamin C content in kiwi fruit is twice that of an orange.
APPLE: Although an apple has a low vitamin C content,it has antioxidants and flavanoids, which enhance the activity of vitamin C, thereby helping to lower the risks of colon cancer, heart attack and stroke.
STRAWBERRY: Strawberries are a protective fruit, and have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits. Strawberries protect the body from cancer causing, blood vessel clogging free radicals.
ORANGE:  Oranges are the sweetest medicine. Eating 2-4 oranges a day assists to keep colds away, lowers cholesterol, prevents and dissolves kidney stones, as well as lessens the risk of colon cancer.
WATERMELON:  Watermelon is the coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost your immune system, and a key source of lycopine, the cancer-fighting oxidant. Other nutrients found in watermelon include vitamin C and potassium.
GUAVA & PAPAYA:    Guava and Papaya 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, which is good for your eyes.

When to eat fruit ?

When to eat fruit ?

“Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be yourfood" Hippocrates 460 - 359 BC 

The universe has provided all nutritional and medicinal resources required for the existence of all living beings. Certain foods not only prevent you from getting ill but also act as medicine for any disease you may have. Ancient wisdom has proven that sickness is not contracted but instead is created by the body when your body’s defense system breaks down due to unhealthy thoughts, food, water, air, environment and life style. 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 .

IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS!
FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTYSTOMACH. 
If you eat fruit like that, 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 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 durian 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 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 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!

Better nutritional supplements (vitamins, minerals, etc) are the one made from natural sources rather than synthetic processes. There is no better natural source than the fruits and vegetables.
