Tips for Proper Food Combining
As any student of chemistry will assure you, acids and bases
(alkalis) neutralize each other. If you eat a starch with a protein,
digestion is impaired or completely arrested! The undigested food mass
can cause various kinds of digestive disorders. Undigested food becomes
soil for bacteria, which ferment and decompose it. Its by products are
poisonous, one of which, alcohol, is a narcotic that destroys or
inhibits nerve function. It plays havoc with nerves of the digestive
tract, suspending their vital action such that constipation may well be
a result! These are the salient rules for proper food combining.
The Basic Rules of Proper Food Combining:
1. Eat acids and starches at separate meals. Acids neutralize the
alkaline medium required for starch digestion and the result is
fermentation and indigestion.
2. Eat protein foods and carbohydrate foods at separate meals.
Protein foods require an acid medium for digestion.
3. Eat but one kind of protein food at a meal.
4. 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 protein putrefies in bacterial decomposition and
produces some potent poisons.
5. Eat fats and proteins at separate meals. Some foods, especially
nuts, are over 50% fat and require hours for digestion.
6. Eat sugars (fruits) and proteins at separate meals.
7. Eat sugars (fruits) and starchy foods at separate meals. Fruits
undergo no digestion in the stomach and are held up if eaten with foods
that require digestion in the stomach.
8. Eat melons alone. They combine with almost no other food.
9. Desert the desserts. Eaten on top of meals they lie heavy on the
stomach, requiring no digestion there, and ferment. Bacteria turn them
into alcohols and vinegars and acetic acids.
