This essay is adapted from the eponymous exhibition catalogue for Pocahontas: Her Life and Legend, which was on display at the Virginia Historical Society October 24, 1994, through April 30, 1995. It appeared in the December 1994 - January 1995 issue of American Art Review.
1 If you want to eat fruit after a meal, then you should wait about 3 hours before eating fruit. 2  This is to ensure that the food had previously been digested by the body before the fruit enters the body. 3  Try to eat fruit in the morning. 4  This helps to increase blood sugar slowly and not in a hurry.
The best time to eat a bounty of fruit is either first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, or as a mid-morning snack (which I prefer) - in between breakfast and lunch. It's a good idea, to just eat more fruit at one time, whether it's fruit salad, an apple or a fruit smoothie. (3-4 servings of fruit is a proper daily requirement, that's 2 1/2 - 2 cups of fruit).
