	The Correct Way of Eating Fruits !! We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths. It's not so easy as you think. It's important to know how and when to eat.   What is the correct way of eating fruits? 1. IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS! 2.   FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN IN 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 in an empty stomach or before your meals! You have heard people complaining - every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat durian my stomach bloats up, when I eat banana I feel like running to the toilet etc - actually all this will not arise if you eat the fruit in an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas and hence you will bloat! Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, dark circles under the eyes  all these will not happen if you take fruits in an empty stomach.   There is no such thing as some fruits like orange and lemon are acidic because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Sehlton who did a research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating 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. 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. So stop making 'durian porridge' if you want nutrients.   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 surprise when your friends tell you how radiant you look! During the fruit fast you can eat fruits, prepared in salad forms and make it more interesting

	HOT TIP:   Want to lower your cholesterol? Who doesn't? One way, is to simply change how often you eat.  I have smaller but more frequent meals.  This serves to limit insulin release and plays a role in cholesterol control and heart disease prevention. Oatmeal is indeed a heart-healthy food. More than 40 clinical studies have shown that eating a bowl of oatmeal every day helps lower blood cholesterol levels. Lower blood cholesterol levels reduce the risk of heart disease. Currently, more than 99 million Americans are at intermediate or high risk for heart disease because they have blood cholesterol levels of more than 200 mg/dL.     How do the oats actually work? Scientists say the oats are like little sponges, helping soak up excess cholesterol floating in your digestive tract and carry it out of the body. They say a fiber found in oats, called beta glucan, is responsible. Eating one bowl of oatmeal -- 3/4 cup dry, or 1 1/2 cups cooked -- every day offers three grams of this soluble fiber. That's the amount proven to decrease blood cholesterol levels.     You also can add oats to other food items, such as muffins, cookies or pancakes.
