Subject: Dr. Oz - on the correct way to eat fruit

 

For all you fruit lovers out there …….

 

 

 We all think eating fruit means just buying fruit, cutting it
 up and popping it into our mouths. It's not that easy. It's
 important to know how and when to eat fruit.
 
 What's the correct way to eat fruit?
 
 IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUIT AFTER A MEAL! FRUIT SHOULD BE EATEN
 ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.


 Eating fruit like that plays a major role in detoxifying 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, then a slice of fruit.
 The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach
 into the intestines, but it's 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.
 
 
 Eat your fruit on an empty stomach, or before your meal!
 You've heard people complain: Every time I eat watermelon I
 burp, when I eat durian my stomach bloats, when I eat a banana
 I feel like running to the toilet, etc. This will not happen
 if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. Fruit mixes with the
 putrefying other food and produces gas. Hence, you bloat!
 
 
 There's no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon
 are acidic, because all fruit becomes alkaline in our body,
 according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this
 matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruit,
 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 the concentrated juice from the cans. Don't drink
 juice that has been heated. Don't eat cooked fruit; you don't
 get the nutrients at all. You get only the taste. Cooking
 destroys all of the vitamins.
 
 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. Eat
 fruit and drink fruit juice for just 3 days, and you will be
 surprised when your friends say how radiant you look!
 
 KIWI: Tiny but mighty, and a good source of potassium,
 magnesium, vitamin E and fibre. Its vitamin C content is twice
 that of an orange!
 
 AN APPLE a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a
 low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants and flavonoids
 which enhances the activity of vitamin C, thereby helping to
 lower the risk of colon cancer, heart attack and stroke.
 
 STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest
 total antioxidant power among major fruits and protect the
 body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals.
 
 EATING 2 - 4 ORANGES a day may help keep colds away, lower
 cholesterol, prevent and dissolve kidney stones, and reduce
 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. Also a key source of lycopene,
 the cancer-fighting oxidant. Also found in watermelon: Vitamin
 C and 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, good for your eyes.
 
 Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer!
 
 Can you believe this? For those who like to drink cold water,
 this applies to you. It's nice to have a cold drink after a
 meal, however, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff
 that you've just consumed, which slows 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
 
 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. 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're asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake
 you from a sound sleep. Be careful, and be aware. The more we
 know, the better our chance to survive.
 
 A cardiologist said if everyone who gets this mail sends it to
 10 people, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life.
 
 It can even be your life!
