What To Eat - Food Combining Part 2

Following on from my previous post on food combining here are some guidelines that will help you to better manage the foods you eat.  It is important to get your diet right first before going into food combining.  Talking to a qualified nutritionist is one of the better options so that you can localise your food combining plan and enter into this slowly with a professional monitoring you at first.

• Do not combine protein and starch in the same meal. Proteins and starches do not combine well. Our saliva is slightly alkaline, our stomach is highly acidic and the intestine environment is slightly alkaline, these are separate areas, each with a particular task in the digestive process. When the system is burdened by too many varieties, it does not cope.
   
• Do not eat fruit with other food. If this happens it will be digested last, because of its high sugar content, the fruit will ferment and cause digestive gas, flatulence and upsets. Eat fruit an hour before or an hour after a meal. Fruit taken between meals is an excellent snack.
   
• Do not eat melons with other food or fruit. Melons do not combine well with anything else especially if eaten in large quantities.
   
• Eat simple and compatible meals in the correct balanced proportions. The simpler the diet, the more efficient the digestion will be are that results in better absorption and assimilation of nutrients.

 Below are classification of foods to help you with your food combining meals.  As long as the guidelines are followed above you will see better digestion and feel like you have more energy when you eat effectively.
