Testimonial of Vandana and Ajay Khurana

Vandana and Ajay Khurana from Delhi attended a one day Reversing Diabetes and Hypertension seminar in Delhi in March 2016 and this started them on their journey to health. By the time they came for our 21-Day Health Retreat in June 2017, they were already considerably better and improved still further in diabetes and high bp within 3 days!

 All about Fruits

1. Have them on an empty stomach Fruits when consumed with vegetables or cooked meals tend to ferment in your stomach, so it’s best to have them on an empty stomach. They are ideal breakfast foods and if in between meals, it’s good to have them at least after a two hour gap.

2. Make them your breakfast Enjoy fruits along with your green smoothie. You can have as many as you like. You can snack on them again before lunch if you are hungry. This way it’s possible to eat only raw till lunch which is fabulously healthy and energising.

3. Get blessed Your digestive system will bless you when you have fruits as it means a lot less work for it. Fruits are easy to digest.

4. Don’t mix melons with other fruits Being more watery, melons (watermelons, muskmelons, sweet melons etc) digest faster than pulpy fruits. To avoid fermentation, best is to not mix melons with other fruits.

5. Best to have them whole Remember nature has no juicers! When you juice a fruit, you remove the fibre which is so essential. Eat them rather than juice them.

6. Organic is highly recommended Conventionally grown fruits are full of chemicals. Chemicals sprayed on the skin go right to the core. Organic fruits are both higher in taste and nutrition and are much better for your body.

7. Don’t throw the peels The maximum nutrition is under the peel! And the skins are full of fibre too. The skin of citrus fruits can be dried or zested and should not be wasted.

8. Eat seasonal There is a reason why Nature makes them available seasonally!

9. Eat as much as your heart desires Fruits can do no harm. Even if you are diabetic! Of course you need to follow the whole plant based diet that SHARAN recommends too.

10. Use them as sweeteners Instead of sugar, use dried fruits such as raisins, dates, berries as sweeteners.
