EATING FRUITS

We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths, It's not as easy as you think. It's important to know how and when to eat,

What is the correct way of eating fruits?
IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS! * FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.

If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.

FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD.
Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so.

In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil.

So please eat your fruits on an empty stomach or before your meals! You have heard people complaining - every time I eat water-melon I burp, when I eat durian my stomach bloats up, when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet etc - actually all this will not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas and hence you will bloat!

Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under the eyes all these will not happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach.

There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the Secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weigh t.

When you need to drink fruit juice - drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the cans. Don't even drink juice that has been heated up. Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the nutrients at all. You only get to taste. Cooking destroys all the vitamins.

But eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it.
You can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look!

KIWI: Tiny but mighty. This is a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E
& fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange.

APPLE: An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon cancer, heart attack & stroke.

STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits & protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals.

ORANGE: Sweetest medicine. Taking 2-4 orange a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol prevent & dissolve kidney stones as well as lessens the risk of colon cancer.

WATERMELON: Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. They are also a key source of lycopene - the cancer fighting oxidant. Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C & Potassium.

GUAVA & PAPAYA: Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high vitamin C content. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene; this is good for your eyes.

Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer! Can u believe this??
For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

A serious note about heart attacks
HEART ATTACK PROCEDURE': (THIS IS NOT A JOKE!)
Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line. You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. Sixty percent of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know the better chance we could survive,

A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it to 10 people, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life. Read this, It could save your life!!

Let's say it's 6.15 pm and you're driving home. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to radiate out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself.

'HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE':

Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help, the person
whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.

However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest.

A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.

Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. This allows the heart attack victim to get to a hospital.

I saw all the arrested suspects. to tell u the truth? they are all HANDICAPPED

@ayusman14. Pls stop this false acccusation. I have neva handled a gun before.

the report is true. I jst came to Gombe 4rm biu. I saw the a gun bullet exchange between the soldiers and some taliban fighters. Can u imagine the soldiers running away and trying to take cover while the boys were busy engaging them (soldiers). I saw abt 6 soldiers shot dead. But i dnt tink the news will report anytin lyk dis. I have to leave dis state called gombe or else the military wil strt retaliating on the innocent citizens.

@lagcity. U re welcome to come and serve in hausaland, but please wat u jst said dat u'll do wen u come is not welcomed at all, so pls jst respect urself and control ur desire, bcuz u re cumin to spoil our hausa gals, although i knw most of them are olready corrupt. Thank u.

i realy dnt knw wat is wrong wit u nairalanders against the hausas. But it seems we dnt have much hausas on NL
If d hausas in d north decides not to bring food or animals to the south anymore. Who do u tink wil suffer? I dnt need 2 ansa dis. Dey go to farm, plant, harvest and transport their foods to d south 4 sale yet u re nt appreciative. Only a few southerners do go to farm d rest re jst lazy. My apologies bt am speaking 4rm experience. Pls tink wel my people 4rm d south.

This man is really insane. Now wat? After legalising protitution, the next thing is to consider same sex marriage. Pathetic, Very pathetic

Those of u who like making secret love during night calls be careful wit wat u say or else those bunch of fat reps with big big tummies will be listening to your secrets.

Kaduna has a very fast MTN network. download is about 1mb/sec. those leaving there will justify.

They shoulkd go and rewatch 24hrs to see how the Americans do it.
Or they should hire CHLOE O BRIAN for the trackin and JACK BAUER as head of field ops

d man really need to be castrated. Y is d forces waisting time here, if dey catch any armed robber, dey shld jst shoot d person. Unless dey re olso thieves. Lol

d guy is speaking d truth, sheikh awlaki is alive. D u.s re jst a bunch of liars and hypocrites. U call u.s a state of freedom. Tel me wat freedom has it given to its citizens? By legalising same sex marriage? Pathetic, vry pathetic. By making d women slaves. Slave to d society, slave to men. D u.s will surely be wiped out.

its simple as u nairalanders have said nd re saying, d country should be divided, so we can practise sharee'ah. We will be ruled by a just ruler nt dis useless northern politicians dat cnt do anytin 4 d north, dey only knw their family. They neva help us. D only state i can say is progresin is gombe, d rest re jst failing. Their children re nt in d country, if dey re den dey re either in a.u.n or turkish uni. Dats y i wnt division of d country so we can flush all d wicked northerners like ibb, ali gusau, atiku, namadi, e.t.c.

@moderator. I dnt blame u, u really dnt knw d benefits of keeping beards. U fool. Go to hell u f***ing INFIDEL.

@MUKINA. Kayfal umuur? Min ayna anti?

@freecocoa. I cant shave it cuz it looks nice on my face. I really take care of it. I will enter Abuja with prayers and Insha Allah nothing will happen.

D problem wit nigerian securities is dat dey arrest innocent civilians. Once they see u wit beards and in d native hausa dress, dey jst jump into conclusion dat u re a member. Am entering Abuja 2mrw to visit my sisters cause 2mrw is their visiting day. I just hope they dont apprehend me cuz my face is full with beards nd i dnt put on english wears only native.

U guys are fools. Do u think bil gate is brilliant? He only has d dough. Its his engineers dat re doing all the jobs. These re d his words. "i failed all my subjects in skul and my friend passed all his subjects in skul. My friend is now an engineer in microsoft and i am the owner of microsoft". So get it u fools.

Wat a useless and stupid admission officer. Wat wil even make d parents take their child to a covenant uni owned by a christian? Me personally i cnt go 2 a chrisitian uni bcuz i wunt feel free to perform my religion. I heard 1 of d stdnts whom is a muslim saying dat they hav 2 hide b4 dey offer prayer. Its d boys fault nd d parents. They shld go to al-hikmah university or islamic uni in Katsina.
