Tooty Fruit

Is there is a correct time to eat fruit?

Yes - Fruit should be consumed on an empty stomach.

According to Dr. Oz, when you consume fruit it wants to go straight through the stomach and into the intestines.  If you consume fruit after a meal, the fruit is blocked by the foods in the digestive process. This means that the fruit comes into contact with the digesting meal in the stomach, begins to ferment and turns to acid.

That may be the reason that you burp after eating watermelon, or need to use the bathroom after a banana. When fruit mixes with other foods in the stomach it produces gas and makes you feel bloated.

To get the most benefit, from an enzyme and nutrition standpoint and to feel good afterwards, consume fruit on an empty stomach.

Taking the First Step

Today I am feeling strong! My body feels strong and (thankfully) my mind has followed closely behind my intentions/motivation for a healthier self. Hello this feels good, not only physically; my mind is sharp and aware! I am tuned in! 


I did not feel this way a week ago. Since Mid March I have been rehabbing a tennis injury, I attribute to turning the ripe age of 40.  Can you say depression, fatigue and atrophy? After a two months of fatigue, atrophy, depression and a little bitchiness (I'll admit it, no shame) I jumped back on a treadmill for ten minutes. Then did a few balancing poses and called it a day. I did little each day and now I feel the strength and the power and glory....amen/word/jai/rock out.


We all get behind for various reasons... sickness, our children's needs, travel, hangover, burn out, the list goes on and on... The Beautiful News is that We can change that sluggish, down-on-ourselves blues / guilt / frustration by taking ONE BABY STEP.

 I challenge you, to do ONE thing for your healthy self today. It is Your pick. Maybe you chose to stretch before getting out of bed, or maybe you park the car further away and enjoy your walk, or maybe you take time to close your eyes and focus on the quiet wave of each breath, or maybe you choose a healthier lunch. You have the control, so you choose. 

If you chose to do one small thing for yourself, please share with me what you did, I dare you!
