EATING FRUITS...

We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths.  It's important to know how and when to eat. Most of us are used to eating fruits after meals. BUT

FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH because then 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.

Breakfast of two slices of bread and a slice of fruit. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil and turns to acid. 

So please eat your fruits on an *empty stomach* or one hour before meals! Many people complain— that every time after eating watermelon he/she burps, after eating a banana he/she feels like running to the toilet etc. — actually all this will not arise if the fruit is eaten on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas and hence a person is uncomfortable. Researches have proved that greying hair, balding, nervous outburst and dark circles under the eyes can be avoided if one takes fruits on an empty stomach.

It is completely ridiculous that some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who has deeply researched in this matter, all fruits become alkaline in our body.  Any person following the correct way of eating fruits shall have the secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight. When you need to drink fruit juice, then drink only fresh fruit juice and not the tinned cans ones and never drink juice that has been heated up. Avoid eating cooked fruits since you only get the taste and not the nutrients at all for cooking destroys all the vitamins. 

Every individual should try to go on a three day fruit diet to cleanse your body because fruits is the best cleansing agent of the body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout the three days. It is better eating a whole fruit than drinking juice and if you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly and let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. We follow so many beauty tips, go to parlours to look the best but to the best of one’s knowledge, it only improves it externally and that too on temporary basis. But if we just follow the right way of eating fruits, you yourself will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look!
