    Hello Ladies

    It is a scientific fact the different food groups are digested differently. Fats and carbs demend less acidic, and alkaline medium during digestion than proteins, which require high acidity.

    Bad combination of food causes toxification of the system, digestion is hindered resulting in constipation, gas formation, nausea, nervous disorders and slowdown of the general metabolism is bound to occur. A good combination of food helps a healthy digestion, utilization and assimilation of the nurtients in the diet.

    Eating starch and acids in one meal is not a good combination. For example, breads and citrus juices are not digested together. Eating breakfast cereals, breads, muffins, pastas, potatoes, rice and buns with oranges, pineapple, tomatoes, grapefruit, lime or other acid foods is not an ideal combination.

    Acid fruits and sweet fruits cannot digest together. For example banana, papaya, figs, raisins and any other dry fruits are not to be mixed with oranges, pineapple, lemon, pomegranate and grapefruit.

    Combining concentrated proteins with concentrated carbohydrates often weakens the digestive system. For example eating beans, eggs, fish, cheese, butter, sausages, bacon, ham, chicken, meat paste, milk, peanuts, almonds, cashews and other protein foods with white bread, oatmeal, spaghetti, pasta, muffins, cereals like white rice, barley, oat, millet, rye, sweets, candy, cakes, cookies, pudding, custards, jelly, jams, potatoes, watermelons is not a good combination.

    Combining fats with proteins again upsets the digestive system. For example butter, cheese, oils and milk with eggs, sausages, bacon, ham are not a great combination. Milk should not be consumed with toasts, eggs, bacon etc. which is the most toxic food combination. Steaks with mashed potato is a strict no no.

    Combining sweet foods with high proteins, carbohydrates or acidic fruits is bad for the digestive system. Sweets, syrups, candy, cakes, sugar, butter, jams and jellies should not be eaten along with breads, potatoes, cereals, oranges, lemon, pineapple etc.

    Milk should be consumed on its own.

    Deserts at the end of a meal is a bad idea.

    Preferably fruits should be eaten as a separate meal.

    Melons are best eaten alone.

    Food combinations simplified further :

    Poor food combinations :

    two concentrated proteins

    starch with sugars

    proteins with fats

    fruits with vegetables

    proteins with starches

    sweet fruits with acid fruits

    starch with acid fruits, eggs, milk, bananas and dates

    concentrated proteins with concentrated carbohyderates

    tomatoes with starchy food

    yogurt with sour fruits, cheese, eggs, fish, meat, starch and mangoes.


    Good food combinations :

    vegetables with protein

    vegetables with starches

    fats and oils with green and non-starchy vegetables

    acid fruits with fats and oils

    sub acid fruits with acid fruits or sweet fruits

    vegetables with eggs and raw salads

    Once the above mentioned food combinations are well understood, it would be easier to plan a meal for the family.

    Very useful info! :thumbsup

    But bread with cheese/butter/jam, toast with milk is all what we usually take for breakfast.
    Should this combination be avoided??

    Same way, in fruit salad, we mix up fruits like banana & papaya with pineapple.

    Hi mithy

    We re used to eating these food combinations without realizing the complexity. Bread is good as a sandwich. Having egg and milk, or bread with cheese and milk for breakfast makes the digestion difficult. If you must have milk, give a reasonable time gap.

    Fruits are sources of energy, proteins, sugar, fat, fibers and water. Every fruit has its health benefits, by mixing the fruits together we are complicating the stomachs digestion ability. It is better we enjoy each fruit separately and get its optimum benefit.
