We all think that eating fruits is just buying fruits from the fruit seller, just chopping it and putting it into our mouth. But it is not easy as you think. What we all need to know the correct amount of fruits to be eaten? What is the correct way of eating fruits? At what time we should eat fruits i.e morning or evening? I hope you may have all these questions in your mind.

One should not eat fruits after the meals but it should be eaten on an empty stomach. If you eat fruits like that it may provide you with the wide range of benefits which are listed below:

  1. Detoxification

2. Improves health

There’s no doubt that eating fruit is important to our overall health and wellbeing. Fruit is healthy for you, we all know that but  it’s good to know that eating it should follow some general guidelines to fully benefit our health. Incorporating fruit into our diet, the proper way, gives our digestive system more powerful benefits through vitamin intake and improved digestion.

3. Fights against germs

Fruits are a great source of fiber, potassium, vitamin C and so much more. Their nutrients help guard against diseases, lower rates of heart disease, stroke and high blood pressure.

Fruits should be eaten alone and on an empty stomach this is because when fruit is eaten, the digestive process works very quickly and our body uses different enzymes to digest the fruit. The simple sugars contained in fruit need time to be completely absorbed by your body. When fruits are eaten alone, your stomach can more easily process all of the nutrients, fibre and the simple sugars contained in the fruit. This is the optimal ‘proper way’ to benefit from the fruit you eat. If you eat fruit close to a meal, especially right after a larger meal and combine with other foods, it’s held in the stomach too long along with other foods and will rot and ferment in the gut. If you experience indigestion, heartburn, burping and and other digestive discomforts and you blame on the meal – it could be the combination of the food, the fermentation with fruit that causes your upset stomach. If left uncontrolled it could lead to other health problems that stem from the digestive tract.
