- Start the day with a portion of fresh fruit and a glass of juice. Why?
To encourage urination and eliminate toxins and byproducts from the body. - When to eat fruit?
In the morning, as the first meal! Fruit should be eaten half to 1 hour before a meal or 3 hours after lunch! Why? Fruit is easily digestible and if eaten immediately after a meal, it rots from the food we have previously consumed. - Fruit can be eaten in the evening as well, but in the morning as the first meal it is most recommended because it is not good to eat heavy and long digestible food for breakfast. Why?
Our body has a cyclic structure:
a) From 4-5 to 12 o’clock it is clean of all by-products and toxins.
b) From 12:00 to 20:00 our body receives food.
c) From 20:00 to 04:00-05:00, our body uses the food we eat and the nutrients from it.

If the urine is thick and yellow in color, immediately start drinking at least 1.5 to 2 liters of liquid a day! - Make sure you get enough, but not too much (no more than 25 g) of fiber from different sources!
