EATING FRUIT
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 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 - every time I eat water-melon I burp, when I eat durian (fruit from Asia with a foul smell yet delicious flavor) 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!
Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under the eyes all these will not happen if you take fruits on 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 Shelton who did 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 weigh t.
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!
KIWI: Tiny but mighty. This is a good source of potassium, magnesium, 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.
ORANGE: Sweetest medicine, eating 2 to 4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve kidney stones as well as lessens the risk of colon cancer.
WATERMELON: Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. They are also a key source of lycopene - the cancer fighting oxidant. Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C & Potassium.
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.
Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer! Can you believe this??
For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.
A serious note about heart attacks
HEART ATTACK PROCEDURE: (THIS IS NOT A JOKE!)
Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line. You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. Sixty percent of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know the better chance we could survive...
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it to 10 people, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life. Read this....It could save your life!!
Let's say it's 6.15 pm and you're driving home. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to radiate out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself.
'HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE':
Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.
However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest.
A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.
Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. This allows the heart attack victim to get to a hospital.
Tell as many people as possible about this. It could save their lives!!

Oh please. Rotting in your stomach is retarded. Everything meant to digest will digest, regardless of when you ate it. In fact, most fruits should be combined with protein to curb potential blood sugar spikes; even though fructose is natural, it's still sugar.
But glad to see some love for the kiwi. I eat mine whole, skin and all. Yum!0 -

IMO it is irresponsible to pass along information like this. Please...like you can prevent or stop a heart attack by coughing!!!!! People may die from info like this..."Oh, I don't need to go to the ER or call 911...I can just cough."0

Look it up! I happen to have been taught this in a CPR class. It is to give you time to dial 911. Coughing jolts the heart and can help to keep you alive until EMS gets to you.0 -

Quote<"Heart Attack While Alone
Copyright 2006 Harvard Health Publications
Question:
I was told that if you have a heart attack and are all alone, you can increase your chance of survival by repeated deep breathing and coughing. Is this true?
Answer:
This advice is commonly circulated, and it is actually helpful to someone about once a decade. Here are the facts: When people have heart attacks, they are vulnerable to life-threatening heart rhythm problems. These problems are why about 40% of people with heart attacks do not reach the hospital alive. They are the reason why many people who are found dead in bed or alone at home have died.
When someone is having one of these heart rhythm problems, what he or she really needs is to have an electrical shock to try to restore a normal rhythm. However, if that is not immediately possible, having someone press rhythmically on the chest can keep blood moving to the brain and other organs long enough in some cases to buy time until the equipment is in place.
This advice about coughing comes from a few cases in which people who were having heart rhythm problems and whose blood pressures were falling because of them recognized what was happening, and started coughing over and over. Coughing raises blood pressure inside your chest -- after all, a cough is intended to force stuff out of your lungs. If you raise blood pressure in your chest briefly over and over, the chest can function like a pump -- pushing blood out to the brain with each cough.
It's not a very efficient pump, and I certainly wouldn't count on this working very often. But if you find yourself alone, having chest pain, and starting to black out -- go ahead and try it.
Have a question? Ask our heart disease community using our new Ask A Question tool. We regret that, due to the volume of queries, our experts cannot respond to all of them, but some will be selected and answered here; someone from the community also may know where to go for an answer.

No, it's an old version of a diet my mom was on 25 years ago. It just re-surfaces occasionally.
The coughing info was very interesting however. Certainly can't hurt to try it if I'm ever in that situation.0 -

Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under the eyes all these will not happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach.
Damn, I wish someone had sent this before I went bald and gray.0 -
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Maybe its not too late? You can go eat nothing but fruit and see if you can turn back the clock?

If it were true I wouldn't have to buy concealer anymore :drinker: :drinker:
Like previously said, this is another round of an old diet belief. Your body processes all foods correctly, if not, you have a health problem and should seek medical attention right away
Regardless of the manner you eat your food in most people carry up to three meals worth of food in their bowels at any given time, with a high fiber diet you are promoting more bowel movements therefore cleaning your system on a more frequent basis than a low fiber diet.
I also heard once that you should eat your fruit or veggies after you eat meats because the fruits and veggies will promote a better digestive breakdown of the meat.......well, you would get the proper breakdown by chewing it enough too!

i dislike this email a lot, i received it a while back too
it makes being healthy....hard
i am not going to think 'ok, i can eat a piece of fruit, and nothing else'
i eat fruit after my dinner, with my breakfast, after my lunch, as a snack
screw those rules, its healthier than NOT eating fruit at all0 -
Seriously? Okay, so, let's think this through.. I haven't researched this beyond a high school background in chemistry, so if anyone sees inaccuracy, please call it. This is just what I have logically concluded in my own head.
1) The article said most fruits immediately " turn" alkaline when entering the body. Basically this just means their pH somehow increases significantly enough to become basic.
2) Most fruits ARE acidic. Even if only mildly so. (pH<7)
3) Blood is slightly basic, (pH>7) however, pretty much the entire digestive track is full of enzymes, all of which are acidic, particularly stomach bile, with a pH around 2-3.
4) The body is full of "buffer systems" In chemical reactions, a buffer system is a balance of an acid and its oxalate base in a ratio of 1:10 or less. This balance allows the chemicals to become VERY resistant to changes in pH. Your body is full of these buffer systems because pH balance is very important to all of your cells. Blood cells can't survive in an acidic environment, digestive enzymes can't survive in a basic environment. Your body does have a range which is acceptable, however, if your pH gets too out of whack, you die. ( let's just say you decided to drink a bottle of hydrochloric acid, if you somehow didn't die from your insides melting, the pH change would definitely kill you)
5) This one is a real clincher. Acids don't just " become" bases. Acids breakdown into a salt and hydrogen ion solution.( H+) All of them. Bases break down into salts and hydronium soloutions. (OH-) One does not just change into the other, especially not with all of those buffer systems in place.
.. basically, the digestive system is ACIDIC, therefore anything ACIDIC ( ie fruit) that goes into it, will remain acidic, AND, probably become even more so. So no, fruit doesn't turn alkaline.
And lastly, in case that was just too much rant and not enough usable, straight forward, info:
If fruits become basic on their way to the stomach, wouldn't it be best to eat food, and load up on the water, BEFORE eating them, to decrease the concentration of stomach acid ( making it weaker) and a more habitable pH level for the fruit?
Just saying. This article sounds like a steaming heap of BS, and it certainly not worth anyone getting worked up or angry about. It contradicts itself, and doesn't seem to provide much evidence for any of its claims.0 -
Hm, so, this person knows nothing about the human body. I guess that means it's time for me to write an e-mail about aeronautics. :huh:0
-
I found the post interesting because it shows how misinformed and misled people can be. It's too bad that non factual information is being circulated, and people take it as truth. But hopefully it creates an interest that leads to people to research how their digestion works from legitimate sources. The email itself doesn't even make sense, it talks about how bad eating fruit with other foods is, but gives no explanation as to how it is bad for you?! All it says is that it sits in your stomach and 'spoils', that doesn't even make sense lol. Then it goes on to describe a whole list of problems like baldness, dark circles (most of these problems genetic) that it will somehow solve (again not explaining how) lol.0

SERIOUSLY Y'ALL.
Eating fruit on an empty stomach only is so important.
If you do it:
You will lose weight.
You will win the lottery.
Your MIL will cease being evil.
You will never grow old.
You will have nothing but good hair days forever.
Your team will always win the superbowl.
You will never have to wait in line for anything ever again.
Your farts will smell like fresh baked cookies.
You will be able to eat fresh baked cookies by the pound without getting fat.
I could go on, but there are just SOME of the benefits.
Seriously, though, total crap. :bigsmile:0
