Correct food combinations are important for proper digestion, utilization, and assimulation of the nutrients in our diet. Different foods require different digestive enzymes to aid in the digestive process - some acid, some alkaline. When acids and alkalines come in contact, they neutralize each other and this retards digestion. Poor food combining or food combinations can be a cause of indigestion or stomach disorders in the body. Ulcerative Colitis, Gastritis, Acid Reflux are some of the stomach disorder examples. When wrong foods are consumed at the same time, you are likely to get digestive disorders.
The reason for these ailments is that certain food groups do not digest well together. Some foods digest primarily in the stomach, others in the small intestine. Some foods digest in minutes while others take many hours. Some foods require an acid medium to digest in and others an alkaline medium. Therefore certain foods eaten together do not digest properly and thus tend to become toxic.
Food combining is an area where everyone seems to have an opinion. One way to find out what is right for yourself is to experiment. Try it and see how you feel. Listen to your body. What works for one person may not work for another person.
By understanding the food combinations that you should avoid, you will be able to keep your digestive system in top working order and stay feeling healthier and happier in general.

ReplyDeleteDigestive disorders are more common among people who have stressful jobs. Therefore, it is imperative for them to look for the right food that will combat stomach disorders/digestive disorders. I agree with you that the food is being digested in the stomach and intestines but it is also very important for a person to chew the food properly. Saliva helps in digestion process so it is very essential to let the food stay in the mouth for quite a while to ensure that enzymes are produced and mixed well with the food.
ReplyDeleteThe discomforts of abnormal indigestion is so common in today, that's almost considered to be normal for our day to day living. The fact that so much money is spent each year on antacids and digestive type drugs is proof of this. I have to agree with you that listen to your body. What works for one person may not work for another person.
