There
are sound physiological reasons for eating foods in combinations. Some
foods, if mixed in your digestive system, will cause problems! The
principles of food combining are dictated by digestive chemistry.
Different foods are digested differently.
Acids and bases neutralize one another. If you eat a
starch with a protein, digestion is impaired or arrested!
The undigested food can cause various kinds of
digestive disorders. Undigested food becomes breeding grounds for
bacteria, which ferment and decompose.
Its by products are poisonous, one of which, alcohol, is a
narcotic that destroys or inhibits nerve function. It plays havoc with
nerves of your digestive tract, and you may become constipated.
The
Nine Basic Rules of Proper Food Combining:
1.
Eat acids and starches at separate meals. Acids neutralize the
alkaline medium required for starch digestion and the result is
fermentation and indigestion.
2.
Eat protein foods and carbohydrate foods at separate meals. Protein
foods require an acid medium for digestion.
3.
Eat but one protein food at a meal.
4.
Eat proteins and acid foods at separate meals. The acids of acid foods
inhibit the secretion of the digestive acids required for protein
digestion. Undigested protein putrefies in bacterial decomposition and
produces some potent poisons.
5.
Eat fats and proteins at separate meals. Some foods, especially nuts,
are over 50% fat and require hours for digestion.
6.
Eat sugars (fruits) and proteins at separate meals.
7.
Eat sugars (fruits) and starchy foods at separate meals. Fruits
undergo no digestion in the stomach and are held up if eaten with
foods that require digestion in the stomach.
8.
Eat melons alone. They combine with almost no other food.
9.
Desert the desserts. Eaten on top of meals they lie heavy on the
stomach, requiring no digestion there, and ferment. Bacteria turn them
into alcohols and vinegars and acetic acids.
Can you eat Protein und Carbohydrate one after the
other? YES, but be sure there are at least three hours between eating
protein and carbohydrates, to give your body enough time to digest one
food sufficiently before the next food comes which requires another
way of digestion. Before you give up and say THIS is all too complicated, just go slow. With anything new it take time. Maybe begin by eating fruit by itself and on an empty stomach. Once you have adopted this change into your eating habits you can begin to incorporate some of the other food combinations into your new diet plan. This natural technique of food combining is not new and has helped tens of thousands of health seekers over the years!
