STOP Juicing Fruits
Juicing fruits may seem easy and convenient but actually, it is not very beneficial for health. When we juice a fruit, all of its natural sugar goes into the glass whereas its fiber content is left out. Thus, to get maximum benefits from a fruit, one must eat it whole.
STOP Eating Unripe Fruits
A lot of times we eat unripe fruits, but this habit should be avoided. Unripe fruits are hard to digest for the body. Besides, they may not have developed their nutritional value completely. Moreover, they are not tasty as compared to ripe fruits.
STOP Eating Cold Fruits
We all love eating chilled fruits, but did you know that it is actually bad for health? Eating fruits straight out of the fridge can cause a mini shock to the body. To get maximum benefits from the fruits, one should always eat them at room temperature.
STOP Cutting Fruits And Consuming Them After Hours
We often cut fruits and consume them after hours of cutting them. This habit is a big NO as fruits get oxidized when cut and left open. Moreover, they also use their nutritional value. And if you think how to carry these fruits, consider carrying them whole.
STOP Drinking Water After Eating Fruits
Not just children but also adults drink water right away after eating fruits, especially those with high water content. When done so, the drinking water affects the pH level of the digestive system. If some experts are to be believed, it can also lead to some deadly infections and diseases in some cases.
