An easy way to begin thinking about food combining is to consider the concept of time. Some foods take a long time to digest. Others move through the body relatively quickly. When you combine foods with varying transit times, trouble may arise, because digestion isn’t as efficient.
Starches with Proteins
Proteins and starches should never be combined as they tend to neutralize each other and this leads to improper digestion of either food.
Wine with dessert
A glass of wine is good for you during dinner time and not after that. Alcohol interferes with the blood sugar by increasing the levels of insulin.
Fruits along with other foods
Having fruits along with other foods creates a kind of sour wine in the stomach. This ultimately leads to improper digestion.
Starchy Carbs and Tomatoes
Tomatoes are an acidic fruit and can cause problems when eaten at the same time as starch carbohydrates. This causes indigestion and other digestive problems. Fatigue is also caused when one consumes tomatoes and starchy carbs at the same time.
Milk and Cereal
This combination may come as a shocker to you as this is the staple breakfast for most people all over the world. Both these contain fast digesting carbs which puts your body under stress, causes blood sugar spikes which will leave you tired and hungry.
Fats with the wrong foods
Fats require bile salts from the liver and gall bladder to break down; mixing them with other digestive chemicals can cause distress. For example – Meats cooked in vegetable oil, tuna with mayonnaise and bread with olives.
Liquids with your meals
Any liquid in your stomach dilutes the enzymes your body needs to digest proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Water takes about 10 minutes, while juices take 15-30.
