EAT FRUIT ON EMPTY STOMACH


Fruit should be eaten on empty stomach…not as dessert after your meal as is often done. If you eat fruits like this, it will also help to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of  fruit. As fruit digests faster than bread, the slice of fruit digests quickly and is ready to go straight through your stomach into your intestines, but its passage is blocked by the bread which takes longer to digest…In the meantime the whole meal ferments and turns to acid. Consequently, when the fruit comes in contact with the food in your stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil. It is therefore better to eat your fruit on an empty stomach or before your meals. You have heard people complaining – “Every time I eat water-melon after dinner I burp”. “When I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet” etc. These will
not happen if you eat your fruit on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with putrefying food and produces gas and hence you will bloat. Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under your eyes are a few consequences of eating fruit after meals.
