*Must follow ayurvedic rules about FRUIT consumption to get maximum benefits.*
🥭🍊🍉 Fruits are nature's best gift to us they are full of nutrients,and energy which we only get if they are consumed in proper way.
👉Consume fruit separately always 🍍
👉Ripen fruits are most easy 😀to digest as they immediately convert into rasa( nutritive fluid) but when we eat them immediately before meal or with other food like milk,curd ,cream etc which are heavy to digest they obstruct fruit digestion🌻 and cause them to ferment which in result produce acidic waste ( which is called AMA in ayurveda)and if this habit is continued then digestive disorders like gas, acidity, bloating,😫 indigestion etc will appear.( I find this in 95% of my patients). This will also over a period of time bring in pains of the joints .
Sometimes you wonder🧐 even after having healthy food you suffer from digestive disorders but following simple rules like avoiding fruits with meal you can prevent yourself from such gut issues🌼
👉 Consume fruits with few hours gap with food.✅
👉Fruits also should never be combined with vegetables ,now a common trend of having smoothies made with combining vegetables , fruits milk or curd it is not ❌recommended at all as per Vedic Diet
👉Time to take fruit also depends on nature of the fruit like heavy fruits mango🥭, jackfruit should be consumed when hunger is more like before meal similarly light fruits like pomegranate can be consumed after meal but with an interval of atleast 2 hours .
👉 It is best to not have fruits🌛🌟 at night as sweet fruits increase kapha ( combination of earth and water element ) kapha is naturally dominated at night .In Winters which is the Vata season fruits should not be consumed after 4 PM at all
👉Sequence of having food according to there rasa is sweet , sour,salt, pungent , bitter and astringent similar pattern can be followed in case of fruits.🍓
👉Fruit juices 🍹are believed to be more nutritional but they are more concentrated and heavy to digest compared to whole fruits,so it is better to have fruit🍉🍇🍊 then juice , occasionally you can have juice in moderate quantity.
🌱 Ayurveda do not have fix rules for all as we all are different and have different dosha prakriti and it is recommended to eat fruits according to prakriti and digestive strength.
👉fruits for Vata prakriti🌪️ - cooked apple, banana, Coconut, dates,fig, grapes,kiwi,lime,ripe mango, musk melon orange, papaya, plumes, soaked raisins etc .
👉Fruits for pitta prakriti🔥- they should take only ripen fruits, sweet grapes,pear, pomegranate,apple, coconut, dates,fig, water melon etc.
👉Fruits for kapha prakriti🌊- they should have small quantity of fruits. Apple, pomegranate,fig, lemon, pear, soaked raisins etc.
👉Most simple rule 👍is to have fresh ,local and seasonal fruits🌏 only. Take one fruit at a time ( mono fruit) which helps you to understand there effect on you, also it gets digested easily . Totally avoid fruit salad or other fruit dishes like smoothies .☘️
