Fruits As Natural Remedies

Hi Folks

I take lots of fruits everyday, and I am sure you do. But how do you take them?

Do you take them after your meals, if you do, then I wish to enlighten you how it should be taken.

Fruits should be taken in empty stomach, and not as a desert as is often done. Why take them in empty stomach? It is because this can play an important role in detoxifying your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities

Let’s say if you take two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. As fruit digests faster than bread, it is ready to go straight through the stomach and the intestines, but then get blocked by the bread which is still being digested

The bread ferments and turns to acid and when the fruit, come into contact with the bread in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire food including the fruit begin to turn bad instead of the system absorbing the nutrients.

The effect of fruits mixing with putrefying food is the result of excessive gas and bloating! So you now realize why you get bloating sometimes. Of course there are some fruits like banana which cause bloating to some people irrespective of whether they are taken empty stomach or not.

Additionally, grey hair, balding and nervous outburst, dark circles under the eyes will slowly disappear if you take fruits in the correct way as I mentioned.


Fruit Juice

We all drink fruit juice most of the time, but by all means avoid canned juice as oxidation process will result in the juice having zero nutrients. In fact the juices we prepared at home should be taken instantly and NOT stored for more than 15 minutes. Another reminder is, cooked fruits will NOT provide you with any nutrients as the cooking process destroy all nutrients from the fruits.


Fruit Juice or Whole Fruit?

There are pros and cons of taking either fruit juices or whole fruit;

Taking whole fruit which includes the pulp will provide you with the fiber for easing your digestion and bowel system, which is an important way of clearing toxin from your body everyday.

Taking fruits juice will allow your body to absorb more of the nutrients of the fruits. For instance, you can drink a glass of apple juice from three apples but you definitely can’t eat three apples at one go. But a good way to drink fruit juice is to include pulp in your juice, with this, you avoid problem of digestion.

For me, I go for two. I will have a glass of fruits and vegetables juice in the morning for the instant nutrients to boost my body for the day.

In the evening, about an hour before meal, I will take one to two serving of fruits before my dinner. This not only provides me with the nutrients but the necessary enzymes and fiber to help my digestion system. As it is, I never have problem with toilet habits early in the morning. In fact, I visit toilet at least three times a day, because I have three meals and all the residues from the meals have to be discharged everyday.


Detoxification

A 3-day “fruit fast” is a very simple and effective way to cleanse and detoxify your body once in a while, say every few weeks or six months, depending on your commitment and convenience.

Just take fruits and drink fruits juice throughout the 3 days, with different fruits varieties and occasionally with some salad. This means forgetting about your usual meals. After the detoxification program, you will be surprised when your friends compliment how radiant you look now! And you will also feel the tremendous improvement in your energy level.

Once you follow and get the habit of eating fruits the right way, you will soon feel your energy level and health has improved, your skin glow and you will be as happy as ever because you are getting more beautiful and younger!


To your health and young success,

Janice H.
