... The third principle of healthy living is the good combination of foods. Not long ago, a doctor, of course Steven Smith, celebrated its hundredth birthday. When asked how he managed to live so long, he replied: "Take care of your stomach for the first fifty years of life, and he will take care of you in the next fifty."
Never truer words were spoken.
Many great scientists have dealt with the combination food, and the best known among them is Dr. Herbert Shelton. But the first to deal in depth was Ivan Pavlov, famous for its cutting edge research on stimuli and responses to them. There are people who can do, the combination of foods, something extremely complicated, while it is simple: there are foods to be eaten with others, and different types of foods require different digestive juices, and not all the digestive juices are among compatible.
For example, eat meat and potatoes together? Bread and cheese? Milk and cereal? Fish and rice? And if I told you that this is very bad combinations that make your body, because you take away energy? Probably reply that, if I said anything sensible so far, now I'm giving the numbers.
Let me tell you why it is highly damaging combinations and how you can do to save a lot of nervous energy that otherwise wasted. Different foods are digested differently. Those rich in starch, like rice, bread, potatoes, etc., require an alkaline digestive environment, provided initially in the mouth by the enzyme that ptyalin name. Protein foods (meat, dairy, nuts, and the like) require an acid environment, which comes from hydrochloric acid and pepsin.
A law of chemistry he wants two substances of opposite sign, an acid and an alkali, can not act at the same time because they neutralize each other. If ingested a protein together with a starch, digestion will be hampered or even blocked. And undigested food becomes a breeding ground for bacteria which ferment and decompose, resulting in gas and causing digestive disorders.
incompatible food combinations steal power and are potentially pathogenic. The wrong combination creates excessive acidity, resulting in thickening of the blood flowing more slowly, depriving the body of oxygen. Remember, please, how you felt after the last Christmas dinner: Do you think that is good for you, which will ensure good blood circulation, which is a source of energy physiology? Producing the results they aspire? Do you know the top-selling medicines in the U.S.? Once it was a tranquilizer, Valium, today it is Tagamet, used for gastric disorders. But perhaps there is a smart way to eat, and is the right combination of foods.
And there is a simple way to get there. Eat food only "dry", ie poor water per meal. Fall into the category salami (Watermelon is rich in water instead). Because some people do not intend to give up their dry food, do at least what little they can do, namely to avoid swallowing during the same meal, carbohydrates are rich in starch and protein foods. Avoid the usual meat with potatoes. If you think you can not live without one and other, well, eat meat and potatoes for lunch and dinner, or vice versa. It is not that difficult.
You can enter the best restaurant in the world, and say: "I want a steak without roast potatoes, but I also want a salad and steamed vegetables." No problem: the protein will mix well with the salad and the vegetables are foods rich in water. You can also order one, two baked potatoes without the steak, and enjoy a huge salad and steamed vegetables. Do you think that after a meal you will feel like an empty stomach? Not at all.
In the morning you get up too tired after six, seven, eight hours of sleep? Want to know why? While you sleep, your body works, or rather puts in long hours to digest those incompatible combinations of foods that you have set out on his stomach. For many, digestion requires more energy than they should be nervous for most of the rest. When foods are improperly combined in the digestive tract, the time necessary to digest it may be eight, ten, even 0:14 hours, and maybe more.
When the food is, however, properly combined, the body is able to effectively perform its task, and digestion takes on average three to four hours, so you are not forced to waste energies in this activity. After ingesting a meal together well, wait at least three and a half hours before ingesting more food. In addition, it must be remembered that drinking with meals has the effect of diluting the digestive juices, and thus slow down the digestive process.
An excellent manual on the combination of foods is Food Combining Made Easy Dr. Herbert Shelton, and a good book on the subject is written by Harvey and Marilyn Diamond, Fit for Life titled , which contains a number of recipes combined well . You can obtain information of immediate scrolling through the list of combinations posted here and simply follow the principles when you eat.
