Are You Eating Fruits In A Right Way?

​How do you know your intestines are clean? Believe it or not, try this simple testing: Cut a dragon fruit (pitaya) in half and eat the flesh.  You can see the black sesame-like pitaya seeds in your poo.  The test is to check the pitaya takes how long to get into the bowel and then get out from the body. Half day is perfect.  One day is normal.  It can't be a good sign if your intestines take 3 days or more to get rid the pitaya seeds from the body. You shouldn’t overlook the long-term effects if your bowel keeps stuck up.  Your body is screaming out to you through the signs of fatigue, rough skin, overweight, or bloating if you culminate the toxic from the poor eating. Eat fruits make you feel good about yourself.   I like to eat fruits as snacks as it's easy, it's cheap and no need preparation time. Not everyone eats the fruits in a right way.  How about you?

How to eat the fruits in a right way?

1. ​Eat Fresh

​Fruits are meant to taste best at their ripening stage. It changes the flavor from sharp taste to become sweeter when it ripens.  When we say eating the fresh fruits, we mean the ripened ones.

​2. Non-Contaminated

​Avoid eating the contaminated fruits from the residue of pesticides. Pesticides are not merely "attached" to the fruit surface, it had absorbed into the core which is hard to remove by rinsing or soak in the water.  Eat the organic fruits is pretty much a good choice.

​3. Eating Order

Eat the fruits before the meal or half hour between meals.  You are not suggested to eat the fruits immediately after the meal. Why?  Your main dish usually has the meat which is the slower digest food. What would happen if the slower digest food gets in the way of the faster digest food?  Such improper eating order would cause the fermentation which leads to bloating.
 
Morning time
nice to eat the fruits but avoid the fatty fruit such as avocado

Afternoon time
It is the best digestion time for your body.  Eating full is ok.  

Dinner time
Eat less at night. 

​4. Eating Seasonally 

​There’s nothing like fresh fruit at their seasonal best. Seasonal fruits taste better and carry better nutrient value as well.  Will you eat watermelon in winter?  Eating watermelon in winter make you feel cold and uncomfortable.  Conversely, the juicy melon helps you stay hydrated and release the hot feeling during the summer time.  It's easy to find which are the seasonal fruits.  Pick the fruits that are widely available in the food stores and have a better deal are seasonal.

​5. Local Fruits

​Would you prefer exotic fruits or local fruits? Local fruits are more appealing to me. I would like to pick the fruits that are growing in the farmland nearest to my living place. Beware of the exotic fruits that look so beautiful but carried the residue of the pesticides on the imported lemons, bananas, cherries, kiwi, peaches, and apples.  OK, ok, local fruits has pesticides also.

​6. Match With Your Body Nature

​According to the Chinese medical science, the foundation of everything in the universe including our body nature can categorize into five types (wood, gold, water, earth, and fire).  Eating the appropriate food to cope with your type of body nature can optimize the benefit to your health.  How do you know your body nature belong to which type?  Let's explain in another separate post.

​7. Original shape

Eat the fruit in its original shape preserves its optimal energy and nutrients counts. Whenever we try to blending, boiling, or drying the fruits would discount its nutrient value.

​8. Food combining

Have you heard about food combining?  Proper food combining get the benefits to improve your digestion and assimilation of nutrients. 

  • Sweet fruits combine well with sweet fruit
  • Sweet fruits combine well with sub-acid fruit
  • Sub-acid combine well with acid fruit

​9. Positive energy

​I love to eat the fruits carry with positive energy. Positive energy fruits are grown by happy farmers, pleasant workers, organic farmland, or fair trade business and so on. 

​10. Don’t eat too much

​Avoid eating too much. Just enough is fine. Too much is no difference with too little.

Surround Your Home with Pleasant Aromas.  How to Creatively Make a Dose of Green to Your Living Space?

An old musty carpet or some other source of the odor is really an attack on our senses. Conversely, surround your home with pleasant aromas to evoke surprise and happiness.  Add the fragrant flowers and plants to make your home smell nice.   Our mind is awakened by the smell of green to remind us of the good thing at the subconscious level.  How to creatively make a dose of green to your living space?

1.  Kokedama, Moss Ball Garden

It would be wonderful to have a dose of green to your living space by the moss balls garden (kokedama).  Kokedama is a traditional Japanese plant art in which moss is used as the container to hold the plants. It is a combination of art with science to transform houseplants into dangling aesthetics objects hanging in the bathroom, balcony, porch, or other shady areas. Picture this: It’s a sunny day, and you’re sitting outside on a porch, smelling the green from the moss balls garden. A cool breeze hits your face as you relax for meditation. Take deep breaths with full inhalation and exhalation, feel the sun on your face, tell your body and your mind that everything is ok.  It's not so hard to learn how to make the kokedama.

2.  Miniature garden, DIY Fairy Tale Garden

Ever feel that your eyes strain from too much screen time? I like to spend the time to make my miniature garden instead.   To my surprise, I enjoy making the miniature garden so much that hardly put it into words.  I make the fairytale via the miniature garden with background and characters.  What sort of story I’m going to create on today? Uhmm… Little teddy meets the lazy cat in the fairy garden.

3. Mini-Farm With Fishes, Self-Cleaning Aquatic System

My kid wants a furry friend to play with him at home.  Don’t get you wrong that I don’t cherish animal.  I just don’t feel the joy to carry a litter box to walk the dog, find the surprise on the carpet, or clean the dirt and mud all over the house.  And then my kid feels so much pleasure to watch the fishes glide serenely through the water, and begs me to let him raise the fishes as the pet.  Fishes are beautiful with vibrant color, and they are easier to take care. But I have no idea of the aquatic system and dislike to clean the fish tank as well. Ever imagine you get a mini-farm that you can grow the plants and raise the fish at the same time.  This is a pest-free desktop aquatics kit which does not require cleaning the tank or fertilizing the plants. They take care themselves with each other through self-cleaning and self-fertilizing. It sounds interesting, right?

4.  Growing Plants With Kids

Planting seeds and watching them grow helps children earn the beauty of patience.  Patience is a path to perseverance. Children learn they can’t achieve the desired end overnight.  It takes time and effort same as the plant starts from a seed, grow to become strong, flowering and blossom. You gain the sense of satisfaction and accomplishment from caring something over time.  It’s hard to get my kid for growing plant but to my surprise, but the funny tools did catch his interest, he is a child, after all.
