How School Affects Your Kids (pg. 7)

The school is an institution which unbalances those most prone to psychosomatic disorders.
The state of nervous tension in which they are kept by oral tests, compositions, examinations, the discipline of certain autocratic teachers, the shortage of physical activities and fresh air, the threats of demanding parents, and also the excessive desire of some children to do well cause many pupils chronic anxiety which affects the proper functioning of the internal organs.
Besides bedwetting of preschool origin which may be prolonged by anxiety, there are many cases of headaches, digestive troubles, colitis, cardiac erethism and dermatitis which miraculously disappear during the holidays.
In fact, there is a risk in putting children day after day, in situations which take a heavy toll on the nerves.
In the long run, the body system becomes exhausted and reacts less and less well to emotional demands. Internal lesions and "adaptive illnesses" may occur, preventing the pupil from reacting flexibly to new situations.
The disastrous effects of these states on performance at school will be obvious to everyone.

Eat Fresh Fruits
[This was a forwarded email, original source unknown]
We all think that eating means simply buying fruits, cutting it and just popping into our mouths.
You will be much more benefited if you know how to eat?
CORRECT WAY OF EATING FRUITS
Fruits should be taken in empty stomach, not as a deserted meal as is often done.
If you eat fruit like that, it will also serve a major role to detoxify your system, supplying with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.
FRUITS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD
Lets say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit.
As fruits digests faster than bread, the slice of fruits digest quickly and ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but its passage is blocked by the bread which takes longer to digest.
In the mean time the whole meal ferments and turns to acid. Consequently when fruits, come into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil.
So it is better to eat fruits in empty stomach or before your meal!
You have heard people complaining -
☺Every time I eat watermelon I burp,
☺When I eat durians my stomach bloats up,
☺When I eat banana I feel like running to toilet etc.
Actually this all will not arise if you eat the fruits in empty stomach.
The fruits mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas and hence bloat!
Graying hair, balding and nervous outburst, dark circles under the eyes – all this will not happen if you take fruits in empty stomach.
It is incorrectly presumed that some fruits like orange and lemon are acidic and will enhance acidity in the stomach.
Research however shows that all fruits become alkaline in our body.
When you need to drink fruit juice, drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the cans.
Don’t drink juice that has been heated up. Don’t eat cooked fruits because you don’t get nutrient at all.
You only get to taste.
So stop making ‘durian porridge’ if you want nutrients.
Cooking fruits destroys all the vitamins.
Eating the pulp or the whole fruit is far better than drinking the juice as the fiber is good for you.
If you drink the juice drink mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it.
A 3-day “fruit fast” is a very simple and very effective way to cleanse and de-toxify your body.
Just eat fruits and drink fruits juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look!
During the “fruit fast” you can eat different fruits at different times, although occasionally mixed fruit salad would also be permissible and more interesting.
If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight.
Wishing you a healthy life!
