Observe Proper Food Combination

I have recently browse through a topic that discusses food sequencing and proper food combination. There are a lot of misconceive thoughts on food combination or bad eating habits we must learn to know and avoid when dealing with our foods. Here are some of the important facts dealt with by several studies in dietetics regarding food consumption.


What types of food combination to avoid with:


*Accordingly, it is not good to combine highly starchy foods with pure fats in one meal.

Starchy foods like pasta, bread, rice, cereals must not be eaten or blended with pure fats like butter, bacon fat or cream. There was an evident study done that high starches and pure fats are incompatible as a result taken from the study of Dr. Joslin, a famous dietetic in Boston. He established the fact that when high fats are cut down in diebetic diets, it is possible to add more carbohydrates in ones meal without increasing ones sugar in urine and insulin ; for an insulin case. Furthermore, no restrictions are given to eating fats and starchy foods, to avoid dangers in deficiency of essential soluble and fatty acids, simply eat them at different times.


*Avoid eating combinations of acids and carbohydrates.

Bread and citrus juices cannot be digested together. Fats and sugars (fruits) should not be mixed in any one meal. The combination is not going to be good for the body and you will definitely be feeling the effects of it.Though there are healthy people who doesn't feel any distress or evidence of impaired digestion, impairment still goes on just the same. Eveytime this goes on, impairment also happens, but these problems might not be felt early on in age, problem occurs and felt when aging.


*Avoid eating concentrated proteins with concentrated carbohydrates in one meal.

Proteins (nuts, seeds, dried beans, dried peas, peanuts, lentils, milk, eggs, cheese, flesh foods) and carbohydrates (potatoes, lima beans, mature corn, winter squash, artichokes, chestnuts, yams, pumpkins, grains, carrots, beets, coconuts) should not be eaten in one meal, and there should be only one kind of protein in one meal. This means that you have to avoid eating nuts, eggs, cheese, and other protein foods with any bread, cereals, potatoes, or sweet fruits such as strawberries or watermelon. These food combination must be avoided so as not to experience weakening of the digestive system that would result to constipation.
