The Right Time to Eat Fruits

Fruits are good source of fibers. Fibers help our stomach and intestine wash out our solid waste-our stool. Usually people eat fruits after their meals as replacement of desserts. But the very essence of eating fruits is to gain essential nutrients for the body not just for satisfaction. The fact is that when fruits are eaten after meals will be mixed with other solid foods and fermented, and possibly will develop hyper-acidity. The right time to eat fruit is at least an hour before meals. The nutrients in fruits will be absorbed faster as the stomach will prioritize digesting what comes in first. Our small intestine is the in-charge of the absorption of nutrients from the food we ate and our large intestine will receive all the waste and produce stools. Fibers in fruits play the vital role of cleaning our intestines and stomach. So, let’s eat fruits at the right time.

Constipation: A Digestion Problem

Are you suffering from constipation? If your answer is “yes”, then you must read this post.

Constipation is one of the symptoms that your digestive system is in trouble. This can be attributed to a poor-in-fiber diet. It means that you probably had eaten more meats rather than veggies or fruits. The right ratio of meat over veggies and fruits is 3:7. That means that you have to eat utmost 30% meats on your single meal and 70% percent must be veggies and fruits. Veggies and fruits can produce natural fibers that can help digest foods that we ate.

For people whose metabolism is low, I suggest that you follow the correct ratio on meats over fruits and veggies. If the ratio is reversed, you will most likely to suffer from arthritis or rheumatism due to increased uric acid and might experience fever and flu. If you are experiencing these illnesses more often, it means you need to change your diet. Meats usually take 3 to 5 days before they can come out from our body if taken without any fiber-rich foods.

The people in alternative medicine believes that after 8 to 12 hours without discharging our bowels, we are already poisoning our own body. Stools are toxic waste and therefore should not stay longer in the body. So eat more fruits and vegetables for good digestion and to stay healthy.
