Another important thing to note is to avoid mixing acidic fruits, such as grapefruits and strawberries, or sub-acidic foods such as apples, pomegranates and peaches, with sweet fruits like bananas and raisins for better digestion; however, acidic with sub-acidic fruits make a good mixture.

So we go ahead to chop all the fruits and vegetables that our refrigerator has, squeeze a lime, add a dash of salt and we believe it to be the healthiest. But, the reverse is the case. Acidic, sweet or neutral –these are the categories your fruits and vegetables should fall under when mixing, if not, then you have been getting your salads all wrong. The first lesson to note, you shouldn’t mix fruits and vegetables together because of these two digests differently. Fruits have a quicker pace of digestion and in fact, many nutritionists say that they are partially digested by the time they reach the stomach. Also, fruits have more sugar content which is something that can hinder the digestive process of vegetables. For the same reason, one shouldn’t mix orange with carrot; they may cause heartburn and excess bile reflux. Another important thing to note is to avoid mixing acidic fruits, such as grapefruits and strawberries, or sub-acidic foods such as apples, pomegranates and peaches, with sweet fruits like bananas and raisins for better digestion; however, acidic with sub-acidic fruits make a good mixture. Similarly, you should avoid the guava-banana mixture because some studies claim that the duo can even increase your chances of nausea, acidosis and headaches. Nonetheless, if you feel like you have mistakenly made the wrong choices with fruits or your diet in general, here are quick fruit fixes to try: Over-eaten salt? Have a water-based fruit, like watermelon, the next morning to flush out the salt. Consumed excess carbs, like pasta? Have an apple the next morning, do some exercise to break the complex carbs that an apple contains too. This helps prevent bloating which may otherwise be caused by simple carbs like the ones in pasta.

With a quick scan of this list, it's safe to say berries are the equivalent of leafy greens in the vegetable world. They're packed with fiber (8 grams per cup—that's about a third of your daily needs!), contain a variety of phytonutrients, and their net antioxidant effect is, gram for gram, second only to herbs and spices. Additionally, a 2011 study3 showed that consuming 60 grams of black raspberry powder slowed the growth rate of colorectal cancer cells and the blood vessels that supply them in two to four weeks. Researchers believe that the fruit phytochemicals stimulate our own enzyme defenses that neutralize cellular waste products known as free radicals, which, left unchecked, promote cellular deterioration and lead to cancerous mutations. Admittedly, most of the berry/cancer research has measured the effect of a berry extract on human cancer cells in a test tube. But Dr. Shetreat believes that berries as a complementary therapy for cancers of the colon, prostate, and breast looks promising. The colon cancer connection makes especially good intuitive sense, she adds, since the fiber in the fruit feeds good bacteria in the gut, which then produce organic acids, which then feed the cells that protect the colon's lining. Bonus: Raspberries are also a great source of vitamin C. Try it: This beet, apple, and raspberry salad with herbed millet is loaded with filling, digestion-friendly fiber.
