Fruits have always been regarded as good things for health, but did you know that there are actually taboos in eating fruits? Authors Yang Shumei and Dr. Cai Kundao, who have written "Amazing Food Supplements for the Human Body", "Eat the Right Vegetables to Stay Away from Sickness", and "Eat the Right Fruits to Stay Away from Sickness", have published a new book "Fruit Therapy". The book analyzes the compatibility and incompatibility of 37 commonly eaten fruits, 10 myths about fruit diet, 11 rules for fruit pairing, 100 recipes for symptomatic treatments... and specifies which fruits should be eaten for different body constitutions and illnesses. Chinese medicine practitioner Wu Mingzhu said: "If you want to eat fruits to maintain a healthy lifestyle, you must read this book!"
