Detoxify Your Body and Lose Weight with Fresh Fruit
Setting about a body cleansing detoxification program a few times a year is one of the most important health care choices we can make. Detoxing our body has not ever been more needed than in the last twenty years. We must deal with an unprecedented and frightening amount of toxic chemicals in our environment and in the food we eat. A periodic body detox is usually not enough to rid our body of toxins, specially if our daily eating routines are less than ideal. And So one of the second wisest health care practices we can set about is to implement a few healthy habits into everyday life. There are hundreds of healthy habits you can choose, one of which is to add more fresh fruit to your diet.
Most all fruits are a natural cleanser, particularly the acid fruits — pineapple, lemons, limes, grapefruit, for example. If you establish the habit of eating 2 or 3 pieces of fruit a day, you willencourage a modest, unobtrusive detox program for yourself.
Here are some guideposts for finding the biggest gain from eating fruit:
It is healthiest to eat fruit alone because it breaks down so rapidly in the stomach. Don’t eat fruit with a heavy meal or with meat. You will make a putrefication response in your gut that will likely create gas, indigestion or bloating and subvert your nourishment. The optimum time to eat fruit is first thing in the morning.
Another good time to have fruit is as a snack mid or late afternoon. Opt for a low glycemic fruit such as an apple if blood glucose might be a problem.
Don’t overdo it. Fruit carries natural sugars and too much at once can spike your blood sugar levels like a candy bar.
