Consuming Fruit Correctly

EATING FRUIT...
This was sent to me by a friend and I found it quite informative, even though it is long.

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. What is the correct way of eating fruits? 
 
IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS!  FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.
 
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 during 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!

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!

vitamin E & fiber.  Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange.

APPLE: An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon
cancer, heart attack & stroke.

STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total
antioxidant power among major fruits & protect the body from
cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals.

lessens the risk of colon cancer.

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; this is good for
your eyes.
