A great role for good digestion and reduction of intoxication of the body from the processes of putrefaction and fermentation in the stomach and intestines is played by the correct combination of products consumed at a time. The fact is that for each type of food, digestive juices of a certain composition are allocated, which contribute to the most efficient digestion of this product. With a mixed diet, such combinations of products often occur when one type of food prevents the absorption of another.
Herbert Shelton wrote: “We do not benefit from food that is not digestible. To eat and at the same time spoil food in the digestive tract is a waste of food. But even worse, spoiled food leads to the formation of poisons that are very harmful ... Amazing the number of cases of food allergy disappears completely when patients learn to eat food in the right combinations. Such people do not suffer from allergies, but from food indigestion. Allergy is a term applied to protein poisoning. Abnormal digestion carries not nutrients into the blood stream, but poisons .
The following is a classification of foods with indications of correct and incorrect combinations. All products are divided into 10 groups.
Instructions for use of the table of compatible products
You should not immediately try to remember all the valid combinations of products.
Write down (or remember) all the types of foods that you personally usually eat or use in cooking. And it is within this list that you create your own compatibility "table". If you find that some combinations were incompatible, modify those recipes or food combinations. As a result, you should get a menu that does not differ too much from your usual diet. In the future, it will be easy for you to add new components to it, referring to the main table.
Group 1. Sweet fruits
Bananas, dates, persimmons, figs, all dried fruits.
Ideally combined with each other (bananas with figs), with semi-acid fruits (persimmon with apple) and with fermented milk products (dates with curdled milk).
It is acceptable to combine with nuts, milk, moderately starchy and starchy vegetables, herbs and non-starchy vegetables.
When combined with all other products, they cause fermentation.
Note
All fruits are very useful if consumed as a separate meal. You can not eat fruits and fruit juices as a dessert. It is better to drink juices half an hour - an hour before meals.
Group 2. Semi-acid fruits
Apricots, mangoes, watermelons, melons, blueberries, blueberries;
sweet in taste: apples, pears, grapes, cherries, plums, peaches, etc. Tomatoes belong to the same group according to their properties.
They go well with each other (apple with plum), with sweet fruits (pear with persimmon), with sour fruits (peach with orange), with fermented milk products (apple with kefir).
Compatible with protein foods containing a lot of fat - with cheese, nuts, fatty cottage cheese (cherries with cheese, pears with nuts), with herbs and non-starchy vegetables (cucumber with plums).
Combinations with other protein products are harmful (apple with meat, apricots with egg).
In combination with starches ( grape juice with bread) and with semi-starchy vegetables (plum with pumpkin) cause fermentation.
Note
Melon, blueberries and blueberries are incompatible with any other product. They are perfectly digested if they are not eaten in addition to food, but as a meal (or in a small amount an hour before a meal).
Group 3. Sour fruits

Incompatible with starches (orange with potatoes), with sweet fruits (pineapple with dates) and with semi-starchy vegetables (lemon with green peas).
Group 4. Non-starchy vegetables
cucumbers, cabbage, Bell pepper, string beans, etc.
They go well with proteins (meat with cucumbers), fats (cabbage with butter), moderately starchy vegetables (tomato with zucchini), starches (bread with cucumbers), herbs (sweet peppers with dill and onions).
It is permissible to combine with fruits.
Cannot be consumed with milk.
Group 5. Moderately starchy vegetables
Beets, turnips, rutabagas, carrots, sea kale, zucchini, eggplant, pumpkin, green pea.
They are successfully combined with starches (zucchini with bread), non-starchy vegetables (green peas with cucumber), fats (carrots with sour cream), herbs.
It is permissible to combine with fermented milk products (kefir with carrots), cheese, cottage cheese, nuts, seeds.

Wheat, rye, oats and their products; cereals; buckwheat, millet, barley, rice; potatoes, chestnuts, etc.
Ideal with greens (bread with salad), non-starchy vegetables (potatoes with cabbage) and moderately starchy vegetables (porridge with pumpkin).
It is permissible to combine various types starches among themselves (pasta with bread) and starchy foods with fats (porridge with butter). However, the combination of various starches is not recommended for people who are prone to fullness. when eating starchy foods with fats, it is also advisable to eat something from greens or non-starchy vegetables.
With a big stretch, combinations with cheese, nuts, seeds are allowed.
Combinations of starches with animal proteins are very harmful, incl. with milk (bread with potatoes, potatoes with fish), with sugars (porridge with sugar, bread with jam), with any fruit (potato with apple, bread with grapes).
Note
Mushrooms in any form, sauerkraut and other pickles (cucumbers, tomatoes, etc.) are well compatible with potatoes and poorly with bread.
Group 7. Protein products
Meat, fish, eggs, cottage cheese, cheeses, milk, curdled milk, kefir, etc.; dry beans, beans and peas, nuts (except peanuts), sunflower and pumpkin seeds.
Ideal with greens (cheese with lettuce) and non-starchy vegetables (fish with cucumber).

It is unacceptable to combine two types of proteins (meat with cheese), proteins with starchy foods (eggs with bread, meat with porridge), proteins with sugars (eggs with sugar), proteins with sweet fruits (fish with a banana).
It is also undesirable to combine proteins with fats (meat with sour cream), with sour fruits and semi-acid fruits (egg with apple).
Exceptions. Fatty cottage cheese, cheeses, nuts, seeds can be combined with sour and semi-acid fruits and berries (cottage cheese with an apple).

Combinations with starches (bread and butter) are acceptable, but in this case it is also desirable to use greens or non-starchy vegetables.
Compounds with animal proteins (egg with sour cream), with fruits (apple with sour cream), with sugars (cream with sugar, confectionery) are harmful.
Group 10. Sahara
White and yellow sugar, honey, jam, syrups.
It is best to use separately from other products, an hour and a half before meals. In combination with proteins, starches and fats, sugars cause fermentation. Therefore, you can not eat desserts.
In principle, combinations of sugars with herbs and non-starchy vegetables are acceptable.
Note
Honey is an exception general rule. In moderation, it is compatible with all foods except animal foods.
What is separate food?
All foods are divided into three groups: proteins, plant foods and carbohydrates. IN gastrointestinal tract plant foods can digest themselves. Proteins are broken down mainly by acidic reagents. Carbohydrates are alkaline reagents. There are also fats, but they are compatible with both proteins and carbohydrates.
The logic of separate nutrition is to divide the tables into protein and carbohydrate. The carbohydrate table includes products, the main component of which is carbohydrates (flour, sweets, cereals, potatoes, cereals).
Product classification
The main protein food of animal and vegetable origin: meat, poultry, fish and all products from them, cottage cheese and dairy products, milk, cheese, eggs, legumes, nuts. Foods rich in starch: bread and all flour products, cereals, potatoes.
Meat, poultry, fish. For meat of all kinds, a combination with green and non-starchy vegetables is favorable, because. this combination neutralizes harmful properties animal proteins, helps their digestion and removal of excess cholesterol from the blood.
Separate meals in the family
If you want to change your family's eating habits, do so carefully and don't be too hard on your family members. Do not think that all the happiness of life lies in separate nutrition. Always allow some alternative. Eating should be healthy, but for this you do not need to be tough on others. It is quite possible to first switch to separate nutrition yourself, and by your example, by your excellent health, inspire the rest of the members ...
Proper nutrition is fun
All foodstuffs must be fresh, free of harmful substances and stay as natural as possible. Better less is more - this saying can serve as a guide for a balanced and healthy eating. Pay attention to a few basic rules: perfect nutrition a person receives mainly carbohydrates from vegetables, fruits and whole grains, a sufficient amount of protein and little fat.
The right combination of foods (according to Herbert Shelton)
Never eat carbohydrate and acid foods at the same meal.
Never eat a concentrated protein and a concentrated carbohydrate at the same time (meat with noodles, fish with bread, etc.).
Never eat two concentrated proteins at the same time.
Do not eat fats with proteins (cream with meat, butter with cheese, etc.).
Do not eat sour fruits with proteins.
Separate meals for those who work in the office
It is for those who work in an office that it is often very difficult to stick to a daily eating schedule. Often they do not have enough time to buy fresh food and take something with them to work. As a result, you have to be content with light snacks and convenience foods.
carbohydrate table
Includes products, the main component of which is carbohydrates (flour, sweet, cereals, potatoes, cereals). This is the so-called energy kitchen. She digests quickly. carbohydrates and plant foods should form the basis of daily nutrition.
Protein table
Includes protein-containing products (meat, fish, eggs, nuts). For the normal functioning of the body, the presence of proteins is necessary. But with separate meals, they are completely digested, so their number can be minimized.
Product compatibility
It would seem that the combination of tomato and cucumber is a traditional Russian salad.
However, there is a catch. Have you paid attention to the fact that such a salad spoils very quickly?
Tomato is a sour vegetable and cucumber is a non-starchy vegetable. They are digested by various enzymes. As a result, one is digested, the second rots, which can form gases in the stomach.
Cucumbers with tomatoes in a joint form is better not to give to children. In general, it is best to remove the skin from tomatoes (it is not digested at all). You can pour boiling water over the tomato and the skin can be easily removed.
In Ayurveda there is a large section, which is called “Compatibility of products with each other”. It is very important to know the compatibility of products with each other, since in the process of joint digestion of incompatible products, poisons and toxins can occur.
Pay attention to your eating habits and try to get rid of bad ones. For example, often after a meal in a restaurant, we are served fruit for dessert or a fruit salad. So, if you eat an apple immediately after dinner, then a process of fermentation and gas formation will occur. So, an apple eaten immediately after a meal will be digested in 30 minutes and will begin to rot while all other food will still be digested.
It is believed that fruits can only be mixed with fruits. And sweet fruits can only be mixed with sweet ones, sour fruits only with sour ones. Melon and watermelon don't go well with anything. That is, ending the meal with a watermelon is categorically not welcome.
Do not mix fruits and vegetables. The only exceptions are 5 fruits: pineapple, dates, pomegranate, raisins and lemon. Only these fruits can be mixed with vegetables.
Cereals are not recommended to be mixed with other grains. Mixes of cereals and breakfast cereals, which are sold in stores like "Seven Cereals", or "5 Cereals", and other mixtures are not useful! They only make you weaker. The fact is that each type of grain is digested in its own time. And the mixture takes longer to digest. The same can be said about bad eating habits: it is not recommended, for example, to eat porridge with bread, since you eat two cereals, say rice and wheat. Similarly, I can say about the mixture of black and white rice, which is sold in stores. Do not use such a mixture, as these are two different varieties of cereals.
Legumes can also be mixed with each other. For example, you can combine beans and lentils.
You can also mix grains with legumes. Grains and legumes individually are digested by 40%, and cooked together are digested by 80% each.
Milk doesn't mix with anything. Remember your childhood: a glass of fresh milk, a crust of bread ... Tasty, but, unfortunately, not healthy. The fact is that milk can be consumed either in the morning or in the evening, and cereals for lunch. So, just milk and a crust of bread do not combine in terms of the time of their use.
Lately spend a lot various studies, which say that milk is not digested, not absorbed, causes stomach discomfort and is not useful at all. So, milk is a specific product, and if it is used incorrectly, then, of course, there will be discomfort. Try some milk pickles… In addition, the milk that is subjected to such “research” in quotation marks is, as a rule, milk from tetrapacks, pasteurized, sterilized or reconstituted from milk powder. It is difficult to call such a product even milk.
Let's reveal one secret: milk is a blissful sattvic product, and for people who are in a state of tamas, milk causes discomfort. The body of these people, as a rule, is slagged, clogged with "garbage" from the use of alcohol, meat, tobacco, and is destroyed by an unhealthy lifestyle. Such an organism is not able to take milk. So, the secret is just that if you want to help a person break out of the state of deep tamas, reveal his potential, return love to his life, help get rid of bad addictions, then give him milk to drink. Just do it right. Start with a teaspoon at night, gradually increasing the intake. Mix milk with spices, so it is better absorbed, and it seems tastier. In this case, use natural country milk or the most natural milk. On how to determine whether milk is good or not, look at the recipe for making paneer cheese, and you will understand what we are talking about.
Let's recap: milk in its pure form is a separate product that can only be consumed in the evening (and in the morning). Drinking milk is a separate meal. Various dishes that use milk, such as soups or cereals, are separate products in which the milk is processed and changes its properties. Such dishes using milk, of course, can be consumed.
Honey and ghee must not be mixed in the same dish in a one-to-one ratio. Even despite the fact that honey and ghee are one of the most valuable products. These are not just products, but medicinal products. And in the dish, priority should be given to one of these products. By the way, the delivery of drugs into the body with the help of alcohol is considered the most aggressive method of drug delivery. Therefore, in Ayurveda, medicines are mainly made with honey or ghee oil, without the use of alcohol.
Below we provide a small list of products that are not compatible with each other. Study it and apply this knowledge in the preparation of your daily diet.
Incompatible:
Milk and bananas, yogurt, eggs, melon, fish, meat, sour fruits, rice and legume pilafs, yeast bread;
Melon and grains, starch, fried foods, dairy products;
Yogurt and milk, melon, sour fruits, hot drinks (including tea and coffee), starch, cheese, bananas;
Starches and eggs, bananas, milk, dates;
Honey and an equal amount of ghee (honey is toxic when heated above 40 degrees);
Nightshade (potatoes, tomatoes, etc.) and yogurt, milk, melon, cucumbers;
Corn and dates, raisins, bananas;
Lemon and yogurt, milk, cucumbers, tomatoes;
Eggs and milk, meat, yogurt, melon, cheese, fish, bananas;
Radishes and milk, bananas, raisins;
Fruit with any other food. Fruits should not be mixed with other products (including dairy products) - in this case, they cause fermentation, gas formation. Exception: pomegranate, pineapple, lemon (lime), dates, raisins (can be mixed with other foods, such as vegetables).

For the first time, the idea of food compatibility and incompatibility came to Herbert Sheldon. Years of research helped him determine the enzymes that are necessary for the digestion of certain foods and develop such a popular diet as separate meals. A table that clearly demonstrates all the principles of the system is an easy way to stick to this nutrition system.
The basis on which separate nutrition is built is a product compatibility table.
Features of the separate power supply system
The undoubted advantage is that this system can be used for a long time. If you don't want to starve, skip meals, and eat monotonous food, choose a diet of separate meals. The table below clearly demonstrates how varied your diet will be.
The principles of separate power, in addition to the compatibility table, include:
- no overeating and late dinners (after 8 pm);
- slow and thorough chewing of each piece of food;
- drinking 1.5 liters of water per day;
- refusal of alcohol (only 1 glass of dry white wine is allowed for dinner);
- mandatory intake of vitamins during the period of active weight loss;
- gradual reduction in salt intake;
- incorporating physical activity into your daily schedule (long walks, swimming and cycling are especially recommended).
Despite many criticisms, all nutritionists recognize the benefits of separate nutrition. Compatibility tables help to normalize the diet and make it more balanced. Moreover, such a regimen helps a person adhere to a diet from a psychological point of view. The presence of rules, but at the same time, the availability to independently form a menu is a great opportunity to learn healthy eating skills and lose weight.
Taking vitamins is a necessary component of success in losing weight.
Compatibility table
So, you have chosen separate meals. The product compatibility table is as follows. Products in opposite columns have perfect compatibility. They can be safely used together. Other combinations are contraindicated, as they cause discomfort in the gastrointestinal tract and are poorly digested, provoking the deposition of excess fat.
Separate power - product compatibility table |

Sample menu for one day
What should the menu look like with separate meals? The Food Compatibility Chart will help you create many different diets based on this example.
- Breakfast: orange; buckwheat porridge, cooked on water; coffee without milk and sugar or green tea.
- Snack: 2 apples or a bunch of grapes.
- Lunch: lean fish stew; large portion of salad.
- Snack: natural yogurt; a handful of dried fruits and nuts.
- Dinner: vegetable soup with potatoes; a piece of whole grain bread; a glass of natural juice.
Thus, if you want to quickly and safely for the body, excellent choice will be separate meals. The compatibility table will help you master its principles and easily create tasty, varied and healthy diets.
Mankind has lost the instinct for a healthy and balanced diet, which nature gave him. As a result of man's violation of the natural principles of nutrition, the cities are filled with overweight people who suffocate, have cardiovascular diseases, and their joints constantly hurt.
To start eating right, you need to follow these rules:
- Fractional nutrition. Food should be taken in small portions 4-5 times a day. There should be as much food on the plate as would fit in your palms, folded together. You can take yogurt or fruit to work, which you can eat before and after lunch
- Don't eat before bed. When you go to bed, the food should already be completely digested - this is the key to good sleep and morning vigor.
- Don't eat in haste. Eat slowly - the body will work properly and at the right time will give the brain a signal of saturation
- Don't overeat. Get up out of steel, as soon as you feel - you ate
- Vegetables and fruits. According to the recommendations of the World Health Organization, you need to consume at least 400 g of fruits and vegetables daily, of which 70-80% are fresh and 20-30% canned. Dress salad with sunflower or olive oil
- Follow the correct drinking regimen. For every kilogram of weight you need to drink 40 ml of liquid, including 6-7 glasses clean water. Do not drink with or immediately after meals
- Varied diet. For the proper functioning of the body, a person needs fats, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, macro and microelements. The food pyramid will show you how to eat to achieve this.
Fig.1. food pyramid
Food groups for separate nutrition
Every housewife who cares about the health of the family needs to know what products to combine in a dish. The human body requires different conditions and different amounts of time to digest different foods. Remember that fruits and salad are absorbed by the body in half an hour, and meat - in 3-4 hours.
As a result of the separate use of proteins and carbohydrates, the acid-base balance is not disturbed and fermentation does not occur.
Apart from the compatibility of products for proper nutrition, then the process of digestion of food slows down - the remnants of undigested food begin to rot, which leads to intoxication of the body, the formation of excess weight and impaired functioning of the pancreas.
Fig.2 Table of the correct combination of products
With separate meals, the following food groups are distinguished:
- Legumes. These are lentils, beans, peas, soybeans, beans, etc. As starches, they go well with light fats - sour cream and vegetable oil, and since they are a source of vegetable protein, they can be eaten with vegetables and herbs. The exceptions are green peas and green beans, they are not compatible only with milk.
- Cream and butter. Foods in this category are hard to digest because they contain a lot of fat. Pairs well with herbs and non-starchy vegetables.
- Sour cream. Good compatibility with such products: cottage cheese, cereals, potatoes, green vegetables, herbs, tomatoes, sour fruits, berries
- Vegetable oil. It is high calorie but very useful product, which must be consumed raw and unrefined.
Ideal for refueling fresh salads. It is very useful to combine with vegetables - it promotes the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
Good compatibility of products with each other: vegetable oil and legumes, cereals, roots, nuts, seeds, berries
- Sugar, syrups, jams, confectionery. It is necessary to minimize the use of these products, except for honey. Sugar prevents the secretion of gastric juice, and when combined with other food, leads to fermentation, and as a result - sour belching and heartburn. It is not recommended to give the child porridge with jam. Sugar provokes gastritis, constipation and fermentation in the digestive tract. Honey is excluded from this category of products; 20 minutes after ingestion, it is absorbed into the bloodstream and does not poison the body. According to the system of separate nutrition, confectionery products are combined with green vegetables. But in practice, no one makes parsley cake or cucumber cake, so we can say that there are no products compatible with this group.
- Bread, cereals, potatoes and other foods rich in starch. They are also called carbohydrates. These are products made from wheat, oats, rye, cereals: buckwheat, rice, wheat, etc. It is forbidden to combine them with animal proteins. Bread is a separate meal, not an addition to every meal. Compatible with cream, sour cream, butter, green vegetables, roots, herbs. Medium compatibility: cheese, cheese, legumes, nuts, seeds
- Fruits and berries are sour,- all citrus and sour-tasting berries and fruits. Tomatoes are included in this group because they contain three types of acids: citric, malic and oxalic. These products should not be consumed together with protein and starchy foods.
- Sweet fruits and dried fruits- bananas, persimmons, raisins, figs, etc. It is better to eat fruits 20 minutes before meals and not to combine with anything. But if you still want to combine with something, then they have good compatibility with sour-milk products, cottage cheese and herbs.
- Green vegetables and non-starchy- beets, cabbage, garlic, cucumbers, lettuce, eggplant, bell peppers, all greens, etc. They are compatible with almost all products.
- Starchy vegetables- carrots, beets, zucchini, pumpkin, horseradish, pumpkin, cauliflower, parsley and celery roots. Cannot be combined with sugar - it provokes strong fermentation, other compatibility is more or less acceptable
- Milk. A very useful product that helps a child grow and develop from birth. Under the influence of acidic juices, milk coagulates in the stomach. It should not be consumed with other food, because when it enters the stomach, milk envelops its walls and does not allow the gastric juice to function. While the body metabolizes milk, other food in the stomach rots.
- . It is a complete protein, but indigestible in the digestive tract. Good compatibility with dairy products
- Cheese and cheese- consist of protein and fat in approximately equal amounts. Not very salty types are good to combine with tomatoes and sour fruits. Before use, it is better to soak the cheese from excess salt.
- Eggs- a valuable and useful protein product in the human diet, which is necessary for proper and healthy nutrition. It is not easily digested, but its combination with greens neutralizes the harm from cholesterol in the yolk.
- Nuts and seeds- vegetable fats, which are easily absorbed by the body. High compatibility with such products: sour-milk products, cottage cheese, vegetable oil, starchy vegetables and roots, tomatoes, herbs, sour berries and fruits
Fig. 3 Compatibility of products with separate meals on the advice of nutritionists
Consider a couple of tips that will help you better understand the principles of separate nutrition:
- You need to eat a melon and an apple separately from other products so as not to cause fermentation in the stomach. But if you eat beautiful things between breakfast and lunch, the necessary hygienic bowel cleansing will pass.
- Do not drink sugary drinks immediately after eating. This is a separate dish that can be consumed no earlier than an hour after the main meal.
- If you slowly and repeatedly chew food, then it doubles its digestibility.
- The best mode for you is when you are really hungry, not according to some schedule.
An example of a breakfast according to the system of separate meals
"Cottage cheese with sour cream, bread with butter and not sweet fruits."
With improper nutrition, the body spends a lot of energy on digesting food and fighting food toxins.
Thanks to the information presented in the product compatibility tables with each other, you can minimize the energy consumption for the assimilation of food and spend it for life.
Following the rules of separate nutrition, after 2-3 months you will notice an improvement in health, vigor, become more attractive and beautiful.
Watch a video about separate nutrition, which explains why different foods need to be consumed separately? What are the negative consequences of their mixed consumption?
There is a lot of talk about the combination of food now and often. And it is right. The fact is that completely different digestive juices are secreted in the digestive system for the digestion of a particular food.
The whole process begins in the oral cavity, and each type of food is digested in a certain section of the digestive tract, the time that is unique to it. All this formed the basis of separate nutrition, as one of the ways to form a healthy lifestyle.
Principles of Food Combination
All products, for the most part, belong to one of three groups: fats and carbohydrates. When we consume a product containing proteins, acid is released in the body, when carbohydrates are digested, alkali is released.
Therefore, when we eat proteins and at the same time (for example, potatoes or pasta with meat), the acid is neutralized by alkali, and the products are poorly digested. Poorly digested food is deposited in the body in the form of accumulation of toxins and fat, which leads to weight gain and disease.
We combine products correctly
- starchy foods, such as: cereals, bread, potatoes, rye, wheat, oats, rice, millet, buckwheat, pasta - these are difficult to digest foods. Therefore, they cannot be combined with animal proteins (meat, cheese, eggs), as well as with nuts. Even bread, if it's not whole grain, is a meal by itself. But we accompany them with absolutely any food ...
- Don't eat at the same time carbohydrates and acidic foods. Tomatoes, grapefruit, cranberries, tangerines, pineapple, orange, pomegranates, lemon, sour apples, plums, pears, grapes are not compatible with potatoes, bread (not whole grains), beans, peas, bananas and dates.
- Don't mix together proteins and fats. The fact is that fat interferes with the secretion of gastric juice during the digestion of protein products. Therefore, meat, eggs, cheese, nuts are not compatible with sour cream, butter, cream and vegetable oil.
- Concerning vegetable oil(corn and sunflower), use it unrefined, raw.
- Legumes are sources of starch and vegetable protein. Beans, lentils, soybeans, peas go well with greens, vegetable oils and starchy vegetables (carrots, beets, horseradish, parsley and celery root, squash, zucchini, pumpkin, cauliflower). And it is better not to combine starchy vegetables with sugar, so as not to cause strong fermentation.
- Do you know that meat with alcohol– one of the most incompatible products? Alcohol prevents the body from digesting animal protein. Green and non-starchy vegetables remove bad cholesterol from meat and help digest meat better.
- Non-starchy vegetables is a white cabbage, green and onion, cucumbers, parsley and celery, green peas, bell peppers, dill, radish and beet tops, eggplant. Pairs well with meat and eggs.
- Follow the rule of thumb one type of protein without combining with another, that is, do not eat meat and fish, nuts and meat at the same time.
- Similarly, do not combine reception two types of starch, for example, porridge with bread or potatoes. Because one of them will be absorbed, and the other will lie like a dead weight in the stomach, will not allow the rest of the food to be absorbed, contributing to its fermentation, increase the acidity of gastric juice, cause belching ...
- Melon, watermelon, milk- these products are always consumed separately, it may be, but you should not drink milk with a roll or eat a melon after a hearty dinner. All other berries, fruits and dried fruits can be consumed 20 minutes before meals, as they will be digested faster than denser foods.
The right combination of foods will help you feel better, look leaner and younger, and live longer without disease, heartburn, bloating and indigestion!
