FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD

Let's say you eat two slices of bread . . . and then a slice of fruit.

As fruit digests faster than bread, the slice of fruit digests quickly and is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but its passage is blocked by the bread which takes longer to digest…

…In the meantime the whole meal ferments and turns to acid. Consequently, when the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil!

So it is better to eat your fruits in an empty stomach or before your meals.
