Fruits should be eaten on an empty stomach.
If you eat fruits on empty stomach, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss, fighting chronic diseases and other life activities.
This is just an illustration:
- 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 due to the bread taken before the fruit.
- In the meantime the whole meal of bread & fruit 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!

Ayurvedic Rules For Eating Fruits
1)
Eat fresh fruit separately from other foods, especially heavy foods like dairy foods and grains.
Wait for at least half an hour before eating some other food.
2) Some fruits can be eaten as a snack all day long, but some shouldn’t be eaten in the evening.
3)
However, the most suitable time to have a fruit is morning: it should be the first food of the day and eaten on an empty stomach. All fruits except for citrus ones can be eaten in the morning (bananas, apples, pears, apricots, peaches, kiwi, and mango).
4) Watermelon should be eaten strictly on its own. Melon is a separate snack too.
5) All berries (cherries, grapes, blueberries, and raspberries) except for strawberries are good for breakfast, but they should not be eaten in the evening with an exception of grapes.
