Why we shouldn’t have fruits and juice after a meal?

 

FRUIT SHOULD NEVER BE EATEN WITH OR IMMEDIATELY  FOLLOWING ANYTHING.

It is essential that when you eat fruit, do it on an empty stomach.

This is unquestionably the most important aspect of a healthy life.

Say you eat a sandwich, and then you eat a piece of fruit – for example, a piece of melon. The piece of melon is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is blocked by the sandwich. In the interim the whole meal rots and ferments and turns into acid. The very instant that fruit comes into contact with food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil. Whatever protein is in the stomach putrefies, whatever carbohydrate is there, ferments. The whole thing turns to acid, and we run for medication because of the discomfort.

Perhaps after a meal you have had a piece of fruit or a glass of juice, and you noticed a sharp pain in your stomach, or indigestion or heartburn.

The reason for that discomfort was that you ate fruit
that would have gone straight through the stomach into the intestines,
but was prevented by the other food from doing so.

The same applies for juice. Juices that are fresh are the only beverages that can help you lose weight and feel great.

DRINK THEM ON AN EMPTY STOMACH,
NOT WITH OR IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING
ANY OTHER FOOD.

They are extremely beneficial. Remember to drink them slowly, mixing them with your saliva. Gulped or consumed too rapidly, they may upset the blood sugar level.

If you have consumed fruit and juice improperly consistently without feeling sick,
that does not mean you have not violated a dietary law. It only shows the tremendous
adaptability of our bodies.

As long as your stomach is empty, you can eat all the fruit you  wish, as long as twenty to thirty minutes elapse before eating anything else. This will allow the time necessary for the fruit or juice to leave your stomach. Bananas, dates, and dried fruit need about 45 minutes to one hour.

Amount of time you should wait after
eating other food before eating fruits again:

Salad or raw vegetables

2 hours

Properly combined meal, without meat

3 hours

Properly combined meal, with meat

Any improperly combined meal
