Natural Medicines: food combinations

The study of the compatibility of various food categories has been done by many vegetarians. They concluded that many are incompatible with each other because of their compositions, or digestive juices they seek.

As a healthy food can be harmful to us when combined with other foods. For example, fruits are needed to make a short stay in the stomach in that they combine very well with cereals or legumes, there are more than two hours. Such a combination would be likely to produce toxic substances that are difficult to eliminate from our body.
The main inconsistencies are denounced:

- Fruits and cereals;

- Fruits and legumes;

- Dried fruits and vegetables;

- Fruits and fats;

- Dairy products and cereals;

- Dairy products and fats.

These results lead many vegetarian do eat fruit in between meals, because their rapid digestion is hardly compatible with that of most other foods.

For people who suffer from flatulence or indigestion, these associations are presented as beneficial, and would by those who practice, reduce bloating and other discomforts associated with digestion.

Moreover, we noted that some associations discouraged by the rules of food combination openly contradict some associations proposed by the current diet, including that of milk and cereal for breakfast (note that this type of regime is not controlled by reputable scientific studies).

Note that some schemes are based on the principle of food combinations to provide specific food associations.
