Hi Singapore parents

We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting them and just popping them into our mouths.  Well, it is not as easy as you think.  You also need to know how and when to eat . . .
 
So what is the right way to eat fruits???

   

IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS!

FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.
 
If you eat fruit on an empty stomach, 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:

v    Every time I eat water-melon I burp.

v    When I eat durian, my stomach bloats up.

v    When I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet

Actually all this will not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying of other food and produces gas.  Hence, you feel bloated!
 
Greying hair, balding, nervous outburst and dark circles under the eyes - all these will stop if you take fruits on an empty stomach.
 
There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon being acidic because all fruits become alkaline in our body. If you have mastered the right way to eat 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 from the cans.  Never drink juice that has been heated up.  Avoid eating cooked fruits because all the nutrients are lost. You only get to taste.  Cooking destroys all the vitamins.

Also, 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! So Singapore parents, hope you find the above tips useful and fruitful.
