Food Combining Extremely Simplified

The mixture of foods that we eat together determines whether they'll be properly, thoroughly digested or not, in turn determining whether our bodies will be able to utilize the nutrients present in food we eat. Remember the only nutrients that matter to our bodies, are the ones that reach the cellular level (our individual cells) in a form usable as nutrition to that cell.

If you have any type of digestive problems, consider trying proper food combining. If you don't have any problems, perhaps this would help prevent them.

* Fresh Juices - Fruit or Vegetable

• Only on an empty stomach.
• No other food for at least 30 minutes.

* Fruit -

• Eat only with other fruits on an empty stomach. Allow at least an hour before eating any other type of food.
• Except apples can be eaten with vegetables and
• celery and lettuce can be eaten with fruits.
• Eat melons only with other melons - not even other fruits.
• If still having problems, do not eat sweet fruits and acid fruits together.

* Vegetables -

• Eat with starches or protein - not both.

* Do not eat starches (whole grains, potatoes, corn, etc.) and protein (nuts, legumes, etc.) together.
