EATING
FRUIT
![]() This is informative! We all think eating fruit means just buying fruit,
cutting it up and
popping it into our mouths. It's
not that easy.
It's important to know how and when
to eat fruit.
What's the correct way to eat fruit?
IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUIT AFTER A MEAL!
FRUIT SHOULD
BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.
Eating fruit like that plays a major role in detoxifying
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, then a slice of fruit.
The slice of fruit
is ready to go straight through the stomach
into the intestines,
but it's 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.
Eat your fruit on an empty stomach, or before your meal! You've
heard people
complain: Every time I eat watermelon I burp, when
I eat a banana I
feel like running to the toilet, etc. This will not
happen if you eat
the fruit on an empty stomach.
Fruit mixes with
the putrefying
other food and produces gas. Hence,
you bloat!
There's no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic,
because all fruit
becomes alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert
Shelton who did
research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct
way of eating
fruit, 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 the concentrated juice from the cans.
Don't drink juice
that has been heated. Don't eat cooked fruit; you don't
get the nutrients
at all. You get only the taste. Cooking destroys all of
the vitamins.
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! Eat fruit and drink fruit juice for just 3 days, and you
will be surprised
when your friends say how radiant you look!
KIWI: Tiny but mighty, and a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E and fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange! AN APPLE a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants and flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C, thereby helping to lower the risk of colon cancer, heart attack and stroke. STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits and protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals. EATING 2 - 4 ORANGES a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent and dissolve kidney stones, and reduce 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. Also a key source of lycopene, the cancer-fighting oxidant. Also found in watermelon: Vitamin C and Potassium. GUAVA & PAPAYA: Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high vitamin C content. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene, good for your eyes. Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer! Can you believe this? For those who like to drink cold water, this applies to you. It's nice to have a cold drink after a meal, however, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you've just consumed, which slows 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 lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal. |
