Fruity meal


Strange as it may seem,but I only consume fruits on empty stomach two hours before or after a meal.Fruits generally contains mostly sugar and water,requires less energy to be digested than other foods.hence,I believed that if fruits is eaten with other foods such as meat,or rice,it will fermet in the stomach voiding it of the life-giving enzymes.Though this is not what most health experts will advocate,haha..

Since childhood,I always suffer from diarrhoea every three months,having constipation at other times.This make my life miserable as unable to move my bowels,my skin breakouts was horrendous..sigh...I would down mugs after mugs of prune juice,drank 1.5 litres of water,exercise,ate oats,wholemeal cereals,yet it does not work,oh well,apart from short-term relief for a day or two..But,my cousin who drank only one glass of prune juice would be stuck in the loo whole day...haha...It changes after I started to make subtle changes to my diet,one for which is to eat fruits on empty stomach.Though two servings of fruits is recommended,that is only the minimal amount,to keep flu or other virus at bay,I would consume around five servings a day,besides,most fruits are sweet and tangy,and when combing fruits of different colours together,I get different types of antioxidants which hopefully can lower risk of cancers...haha....So,join me on a fruits feast,will you?hehe...
