This information comes from an email I received today. The information is powerful. Many of us are writing and espousing "New Year Resolutions". Here's one that we all can accomplish and be healthier for the commitment to eat better on a regular basis. Happy New Year!

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 fruit? IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS! FRUIT SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH. If you eat fruit in this manner, 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.

Graying hair, balding, nervous outbursts, and dark circles under the eyes these maladies will not happen if you consistently eat fruit on an empty stomach. There is no such thing as some fruits, like oranges and lemons are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to medical research. 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 drink fruit juice - drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the cans. Don't drink juice that has been heated up. Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the nutrients at all. You only get the flavor; cooking destroys the vitamin content.

Eating fruit is better than drinking the juice. When you do have the occasion to drink juice, drink it slowly, because it's so much better when the juice mixes with your saliva before swallowing. You can also 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!
