The article below mentioned many good fruits that may not be locally available in some countries, If we follow the Macrobiotic principle of eating fruits , eat fruits in season and what is available in your area, because that is the right fruit for you at the right time, for example banana may not be good for the North Americans due to cold weather but it is good for the people living in the tropics like Philippines, notice how nature balances itself, during tropical/summer season it only grows "cold fruits" like citrus, watermelons and all those refreshing fruits. Every country has it own wonder fruits. Fruits if eaten correctly is a powerful tools for well-being.
My doctor friend in the Holistic Medicine, Dr. Sony Viloria of Biovitale HC told me, it is not a good idea to eat fruit salad, the usual Filipino favorite, because first we put too much sugar into it, a lot of dairies like condensed milk and heavy cream and worse use the highly processed canned fruits which are acidic, no nutritional value and no live enzymes . Alright, but eating fruit salad using all fresh fruits still a good idea? He said no, because fruits have different transit time and putrefaction ("spoiling time") time in the digestive system, meaning some fruit have long digestion time and stays longer in the stomach mixing if with other fruits with short digestive time will putrefy/spoil the other as mentioned in the article below, so taking them all together some could putrefy without even digestion, we should eat fruits one kind at a time and then on an empty stomach to avoid spoilage inside the intestine. - Tien Cho.

We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths. It's not as easy as you think. It's important to know how and when to eat.
What is the correct way of eating fruits?
IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS! * FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.
If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.
FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD.Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so. In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices,
the entire mass of food begins to spoil.... So please eat your fruits on an empty stomach or before your meals! You have heard people complaining — every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat durian my stomach bloats up, when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet, etc
— actually all this will not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas and hence you will bloat!
Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under the eyes, all these will NOT happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach. There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the Secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight.
When you need to drink fruit juice - drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the cans. Don't even drink juice that has been heated up. Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the nutrients at all. You only get to taste. Cooking destroys all the vitamins.
But eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look!

Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer! Can u believe this?? For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the
intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.
