In studying with a group on the Edgar Cayce teachings a few years ago...we read that he suggested that fruit and also fruit juices be taken seperately from any food. Wait at least 1/2 hour after ingesting the fruit/juice before the meal. He said that the body needs one type of Enzime to digest carbs one kind to digest Protein and yet another to digest fruits. I hope I have this right...but this is the rule I have followed ever since reading about it. V. In a message dated 3/24/2007 4:49:15 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
Going on the way our ancestors would most probably have eaten, I would have thought it would be a natural thing to do to eat fruit after a protein meal, as this would have been the dessert. Given the anti-oxidant quality of fruit, this would seem a sensible thing to do i.e. To go along and munch up the free radicals produced by eating food. I'm probably wrong but this seemed logical to me. I personally don't get any problems from eating fruit after meals, neither do I have any problem juicing them all together with vegetables. I also thought that all food was digested in the intestines, but broken down somewhat in the stomach. Dee ************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone.
