Hello Dr. Snehal, yesterday you answered a question of mine regarding fruits, their combinations to eat and time of the day, thankyou so much for the detailed response, I am grateful ☺️. I also had this question that in today's world of pesticides and fertilizers should we eat apples and other fruits with their outer skin or not, if there is a way to wash them so that the chemicals come off and they are safe to eat and also one more that if I should noteat pomegranate and apple together? Also my mother is suffering from artery blockage and she is a teacher too so on some mornings she only eats pomegranate and apples together, I wanted toask if it's safe to have it that way cause she has to have medicines after breakfast. Also I study in Delhi and when I get home is it possible for us to have a consultation? Thank you so much for sparing time✨

Hello Thanks for the kind words! Glad yesterday’s advice helped out.😊 About Your Question (Ayurvedic View) Fruits are full of good contents, but these days they’re often covered in: – Pesticides – Wax – Chemical fertilizers If you don’t wash them well, they can mess with your body like toxins, which screws with your digestion, liver, hormones, and even arteries. Should You Eat Fruit Skin, or Peel It? Yes, the skin has the most nutrients, but only if you wash it the right way to get rid of the bad stuff. Here’s a safe way to clean your fruits 1. Soak the fruits in warm water for 10 minutes. 2. Then, soak them for 10 minutes in a mix of: –1 tsp rock salt –1 tsp baking soda -1 litre of water 3. Rinse them under running water. 4. Dry them off, and eat them with the skin on ✔️ This gets rid of: – Wax – Pesticides – Fungicides After that, apple skin is actually good for your heart, liver, and gut! Is it Okay to Eat Apple and Pomegranate Together? Yes Apple and pomegranate together are great for cleaning your blood and helping your heart. Ayurveda says: – Apple → Balances Vata and Pitta – Pomegranate → Cleans blood and arteries They don’t make toxins when you eat them together. So, your mom eating apple and pomegranate for breakfast is actually awesome, especially for: – Blocked arteries – Heart health – Blood pressure – Digestion after taking medicine Just remember: – Eat fruits by themselves don’t pair them with milk or cerals – Take medicines 20–30 minutes later. For Your Mom (Artery Blockage) Her morning fruit mix is great! She should also add: – 1 tsp of pomegranate juice – ½ tsp of Triphala powder at night This helps get the bad cholesterol out of her arteries. Can I See You When You Are in Delhi? Yes 😊 Whenever you’re back home, you can totally book a full Ayurvedic check-up with me for you and your mom. We can check: – Your digestive type – Hormone balance – Artery health – Lifestyle plan You’re doing a great job taking care of your family’s health. That’s healing in itself Wishing you blessings and good health, Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate

Should we eat fruits with skin? Yes, you can eat apple and other fruits with skin because it has fiber and nutrients. But wash properly first. How to wash fruits safely Soak fruits in salt water or baking soda water for 10–15 minutes Then wash with clean running water This helps remove pesticides. Can apple and pomegranate be eaten together? Yes, generally safe for healthy people. But Ayurveda prefers eating fruits alone or same type fruits together for better digestion. For your mother (artery blockage) Apple and pomegranate both are heart-healthy She can take them together occasionally Better option – eat them separately or as breakfast, then take medicines after food

Thank you Sir 🙏

-Many fruits, like apples, grapes, and pears, often carry pesticide residues on their skins. However, the skin also contains most of the fiber, antioxidants, and nutrients, so Safe washing methods: -Always rinse fruits under running water and gently scrub with a brush if possible. This removes some dirt and surface chemicals. - Soak fruits in water with a teaspoon of baking soda for 10–15 minutes, then rinse. -If you’re unsure about washing or the fruit is heavily sprayed, peeling is safest, though you lose some nutrients. - If possible, buying organic apples and pomegranates reduces pesticide exposure, especially if you want to eat the skin. -------Apples + pomegranate: This combination is generally safe. Both are high in fiber and antioxidants. Timing: Because your mother takes medicines after breakfast, it’s important that fruit consumption doesn’t interfere with absorption. For most artery-related medicines (like statins or blood thinners), apples and pomegranate are safe before medication. Digestive comfort: Since she experiences no discomfort, it seems safe for her personally. —Pomegranate Contains polyphenols that can improve blood vessel health. Apple: Rich in soluble fiber (pectin) which helps lower cholesterol. Ensure she eats them with a gap before medicines ,Some medications may need an empty stomach. Monitor for any unusual reactions if a new fruit combo is introduced.
