Fruits: Natural medicines. Fruits contributes a major role in protecting and promoting our health.Dr.J.H.Kellogg says "Ler thy food is your medicine.In past when I was studying Nature Care I came to know about the miracles of fruits then I decided and prepared myself and started to live on diet of fruits, nuts and with some raw cow's milk for a year. At the end it transform, rejuvenated my whole body shining, sparkling like a star.
In vedas it comes "Paya keelalam parishrutam" means fruits fully riped just fallen and milk are the natural food of mankind. In jungle animals from their start guided by their natural instinct first smell then taste and finally eat their food which suitable for their system in raw form. The young fawn or cow eats grass,the little squirrel looks for nuts, the young fox chases a mouse or some other animal. If we tried to feed cow with meat or lion with fruits then they will become sick because their different digestive system. So the man when followed the voice of nature, fire not invented chooses the beautiful products of plant world fruits and nuts. Man could not eat grass and probably did not catch the animal and bite into it. Nutrients in fruits.
Chemical analysis of fruits gives that these consists of water, carbohydrates(sugar), vitamins, minerals, fibre, miniscule protein and fat. In fruits water is from 5% to 95% which is very pure safely preserved in outer cover, this water is antibacterial, energy giving and detox our body.

This is nain part of fruits present from 5% to 15% of the fruits,the sweetness of the fruits because of presence of sugar in form of monosachhrides which in form of glucose, dextrose, fructose, etc. This varies with type and ripeness of fruits.These sugars quickly digested and absorbed, these are different from white sugar which after chemical process (in making of Cane juice) nutrients eliminated totally left with only acid producing white Sugar. Many doctors called it as white poision.
