Food Combining

I would like to say that the best foods for you are

LOCAL Fresh Organic Foods

I will never & have never DOGGED someone for eating clean healthy foods in the "wrong combination"

Par Exemple:

To tell someone that you can't eat fruit with your meal is not something i do often

NOW IF A CLIENT IS HAVING A DIGESTIVE PROBLEM

WE MIGHT TAKE A LOOK AT THE RATIOS AND TYPES OF FOOD EATEN

AND

i DO stand corrected!

i had a conversation this weekend that involved

a very handsome man

and he stated that fruit & protein should not be consumed together

......due to rotting in the stomach

i should not have eaten watermelon with my chicken

(and you should not have been eating steak & chicken in cahoots)

COUGH......you were right

BUT THERE IS A Food Combining THEORY

that tends to help some people with delicate digestive tracts

Food combining is a basic component of optimal nutrition

it allows the body to digest and utilize the nutrients to their full extent

THE THEORY: different food groups require different digestion times

Different foods require difference enzymes

Some acid, some alkaline

Acids and Bases neutralize each other

This retards digestion (insert HANGOVER line here)

RULES ARE AS FOLLOWS

Eat starches and acids at separate meals. Acids
neutralize the alkaline medium required for starch
digestion and the result is indigestion and fermentation

THIS I SUPPORT

Eat carbohydrate foods and protein foods at
separate meals. Protein foods require an acid
medium for digestion

Eat only one kind of protein food at a meal

(no chicken in your omelettes)

I SUPPORT THIS ONE

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 proteins putrefy in bacterial
decomposition and produces some potent poisons

Eat proteins and fats at separate meals. Some
foods, especially nuts, are over 50% fat and
require hours for digestion

*perfect example of my own theory.....BULLCORN

you need fat to all of foods you are digesting to be released slowly

as to not cause a blood sugar spike

though i do not recommend HEALTHY fat content per meal to be over 15g

Eat proteins and sugars (fruits) at separate
meals

Eat starchy foods and sugars (fruits) at
separate meals. Fruits undergo no digestion in the
stomach and are held up if eaten with foods which
require digestion in the stomach

(no fruits & grains/oatmeal & berries)

Eat melons alone. Melons combine with almost no
other food

(do able)

Forget the desserts. Eaten on top of meals they
lie heavy on the stomach, requiring no digestion
there, and ferment. Bacteria turn them into
alcohols, acetic acids and vinegars

(awe crap)
