detox with fruits!

got this email from toni. was so convinced that i bought fruits from the market kanina after i went to the bank. some important points:

  • Fruits have the highest water content of any food. In addition, the vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, amino acids and fatty acids that a human requires can be derived from fruits.
  • A survey found that those who eat fruits more at every meal tend to want to eat less in the next meal. The reason being the sugar content in the fruit. It was also found that a particular substance in some fruits could cut the risk of heart diseases or heart attacks. The substance protects the heart by preventing the blood from becoming too thick and plugging up the arteries.
  • Its digestion, absorption and assimilation requires only a short time, rather than to break down food like chicken, mutton, etc. Other foods spend about 1-4 hours in the stomach! Fruits do not digest in the stomach. Most fruits are predigested except for bananas, dates and dried fruits. They pass through the stomach in twenty to thirty minutes as if going through a tunnel. They break down and release their life-giving nutrients in the intestines.
  • Fruits should be eaten in an empty stomach, for it plays a major role to detoxify your system, supply you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other activities. 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 is prevented from doing so. In the meantime the whole meal rots, 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 rot.
  • 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.
  • 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. You only get to taste them.
