what you should know about fruits

We all think that eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting and just popping the pieces into our mouth. It is not so easy as you think. It is important to know how and when to eat the fruits. Do you know of anyone who hates fruits? Most likely no, or at least the percentage will be less. Everyone will immediately tell you about the fruits they like very much. The reason why everyone likes fruits is because our bodies crave for it instinctively. The colour, the texture, the aroma, and the sweetness make it very attractive. Remember our ancestors were not meat eaters or seed eaters - they were all fruit eaters. Fruits have the highest water content of any food. In addition, the vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, amino acids and fatty acids that a human requires can be derived from fruits. When a fruit is consumed the right way, nothing can surpass it.
Even for those who want to lose a little weight, the proper consumption of fruits will help. A survey says that those who eat fruits more at every meal tend to want to eat less in the next meal. The reason being the sugar in the fruit. It was also found that a particular substance in some fruits could cut the risk of heart diseases or heart attacks. The substance protects the heart by preventing the blood from becoming too thick and plugging up the arteries. So fruit is cleansing! Fruits require less energy to be digested than any other food. Everything consumed by the human body eventually breaks down in the system and is transformed into glucose, fructose, amino acids, etc. The brain cannot function on anything except glucose. Fruit is like glucose in the body. Its digestion, absorption and assimilation requires only a short time, rather than to break down food like chicken, mutton, etc. Other forms of food spend about 1-4 hours in the stomach!

Fruits do not digest in the stomach. Most fruits are pre-digested except for bananas, dates and dried fruits. They pass through the stomach in twenty to thirty minutes as if going through a tunnel. They break down and release their life-giving nutrients in the intestines. What is the correct way of eating fruits? Fruits should be eaten in an empty stomach, never after meals. That way it will play a major role in detoxifying your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities. Let us 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 the digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to get spoilt. So eat your fruits in an empty stomach or before your meals!

You have heard of people complaining - every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat durians my stomach bloats up, when I eat bananas 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 occur if you take fruits in 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 a 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 what is available from the cans. Don't even drink juice that has been heated. Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the nutrients. You only get to taste them. So stop making 'goreng pisang' or 'durian porridge' if you want nutrients. Cooking destroys all the vitamins. But eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. 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! During the fruit fast you can eat fruits, prepared in salad forms to make the day more interesting and to nourish your appetite the healthy way .

Don't eat fruits immediately - Immediately eating fruits after meals will cause stomach to be bloated with air. Therefore take fruit 1-2 hr after meal or 1hr before meal.
