One of the most important systems in our body takes place in the digestive tract. That is where all our food intake is physiologically changed into nourishing and healing fuels and substances that make the zillions of cells work together for good in our fearfully and wonderfully made body. Health, nutrition and easy diet begin with avoiding wrong foods combination.
Wrong food combinations from too much varieties taken at the same time will cause too many different enzymes for effective processing in our digestive system. And if these are from bad foods, i.e., junk foods, sugars and processed foods, it will actually not provide enough enzymes for proper digestion. Enzymes are the essential protein molecules that break down the foods into the necessary chemicals for the proper healthy operation of the body system.
Wrong foods combination will inhibit digestion and create various degrees of digestive distress from fermentation and putrefaction, to food allergies, foul gas and stools, loose, impacted and pebbly stools and if persistent, even blood in the stools.
Experts tell us that undigested substances such as monosaccharides created in the digestive track become poison to the bloodstream. Alcohol, acetic acid, ptomaines (carbs), leucomaines, hydrogen sulphides become putrefied proteins and poison. Decomposed foods are created by rancid fats; carbon dioxide, acetic acid, alcohol and fermented carbohydrates (starches and sugars). If this isn't enough to scare us into changing our bad food habits, nothing will.
Eventually, these dangerous elements cause complicated common place problems such as painful hemorrhoids, diverticulosis, colitis, etc.
To avoid these, there are simple foods combination rules that should be followed:
First, we to eat at separate meals the following items: acids & starches; proteins & carbohydrates; proteins & acids (to avoid putrefaction); fats & proteins (fats stop gastric juices from performing); sugars and proteins (sugars digest only in intestines and ferment in the stomach); starches & sugars (they invite fermentation). I bet you're eating these together in one meal all the time! Well, truly most of us do.
Some example of acid and alkaline foods are:
Acid: meats, dairy products, fish, grains, wheat, nuts (except almonds and brazil nuts), cheeses, lentils, peanuts... these are high protein foods.
Alkaline: beans and bean sprouts, turnips, carrots, celery, cucumbers, lettuce, watercress, potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes, millet; apricots, figs, prunes, raisins, dates, grapefruit, peaches, apples, grapes, bananas... in other words vegetables and fruits.
Experts recommend an alkaline-acid food ratio of about four to one, or eighty percent alkaline foods and twenty percent acid foods for a healthy body.
Eat one at a time: concentrated protein. In other words don't mix beef and fish, or pork and chicken, etc. Have one or the other at a meal.
