There are herbivores (vegetarians), carnivores (meat-eaters) or omnivores (who can eat both). Now a days new category fruitivore. It is possible for a modern man of health conscious to live only on a combination of fruits and nuts and never suffer any malnutrition. There are right and wrong ways of eating the fruits.
Most people eat fruits - (a) after food (b)combined with milk for dessert (c) cooked or stewed or baked. This is wrong and harmful, must be discontinued immediately.

Right and useful ways are:

-Fruits must be eaten on an empty stomach
-Fruits must never be combined with milk or grains
-Fruit must be eaten uncooked

Why and what is the reason:

After being chewed well in the mouth, fruit enters the stomach for a shot period say 10 to 20 minutes and then proceeds to the intestines where it digests itself with its own enzymes. If it is eater after a meal it sits on top of the food and ferments because it does not get a clear passage to go down to the intestines. Not only is the fruit rendered completely useless, it can become a cause of acidity, indigestion, gas, colic, constipation and other diseases.

For this same reason it must not be combined with any other foods. The other foods need to sit in the stomach for several hours for digestion.

Cooking the fruits destroys its self-digesting enzymes and it becomes a burden for the body.

In fact acidity, colic, indigestion, constipation can all be helped substantially by eating fruits atleast 1/2 hour before food.Chronic sufferers of these problems should ubstain from having any cereal, bread, roti or paratha for breakfast-they must have only fresh fruits.

When 'dying' of hunger, fruits are your best bet. They provid energy very quickly and efficiently without using up valuable energy reserves of the body (other foods use massive amounts of energy in the process of digestion). OK eat fruits as above?
