Eat, drink less and enjoy life to the fullest

The high moment of a family dinner at my home when I was a kid was the wheeling out of the fruit trolley at the end of the meal. Having some fruit after dinner, considered good for digestion, was something I had been doing routinely long after I became an adult and began raising my own family.

Then one day not too long ago, I read a report in a newspaper quoting a medical study by some highly reputable institution which said that eating fruit, any fruit, after meals was bad for the body. Its advice was to eat fruit before meals.

It didn't exactly turn my world upside down. But it did make me wonder how seriously should we take these advises that could influence our daily lives.
