If you don't feel like going on a strict diet in order to lose those extra pounds, try to eat simply. Simple food is absorbed better and with less stress on the digestive organs compared to complex food. And the greater the variety of dishes in one meal, the more difficult it is for the digestive system to cope with it.
Some foods eaten together can have a negative effect - slowing down or even stopping the absorption of beneficial trace elements and vitamins. This will later affect the figure not in the best way.

What products cannot be combined?

The combination of the following products is very often found in the usual and favorite dishes of various cuisines of the world, but the taste is tasteful, and the benefits of such dishes can be noticeably impaired precisely because of the incompatibility of the ingredients.

There are foods that should not be combined with any others in order to avoid negative consequences for the body: this is milk, melon, bananas.

Meat and cheese. Together with cheese, phosphorus enters the body, and meat contains a lot of zinc. These minerals interfere with one another: phosphorus slows down the complete absorption of zinc.

Pasta and meat. Bad news awaits lovers of naval pasta: a combination of these two products can provoke bloating, fermentation due to undigested food.

Vegetables and alcohol. Drinking just one glass of wine at dinner runs the risk of turning your vegetable salad into a useless heap. Alcohol makes it difficult to absorb vitamins from vegetables.

Potatoes and eggs.Potatoes are rich in minerals. They can negatively affect the absorption of iron and calcium found in eggs.

And here is the Food Compatibility Chart, which was developed and substantiated by Herbert Shelton.

He owns over 40 scientific papers. Shelton ate a healthy diet in accordance with the chart he developed and actively promoted it. He lived to be 100 years old, and died tragically, full of strength and creative energy.

FOOD COMPATIBILITY TABLE

The food compatibility table consists of 16 columns.

MEAT, FISH, Poultry: animal proteins are the most difficult to digest food. Shelton believed that all fat should be removed during processing of these foods. Combination with green and non-starchy vegetables is very favorable for meat of all types. As for starchy vegetables, the combination of animal proteins with them is not ideal, but it is still better than the combination with bread and potatoes. Alcohol in combination with animal proteins is very harmful: it precipitates pepsin, which is necessary for their digestion.

GRAINS: beans, peas, lentils, beans, soy. This is a rather complex and even controversial product that requires a lot of attention when combined with other types of food. However, keep in mind that green beans and green peas do not fall into this category. They belong to non-starchy vegetables and are compatible with all foods except milk.

BREAD, ROLLS, POTATOES: These are starchy foods. These include wheat, rye, oats and their products. Groats: buckwheat, rice, millet. Sprouted wheat is a non-starchy vegetable.

ACID FRUIT: oranges, tangerines, grapefruits, pineapples, pomegranates, lemons, cranberries, sour apples and grapes.

SEMI-ACID FRUIT: blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, strawberries, sweet taste: apples, cherries, plums, grapes, apricots, peaches. The food compatibility table does not contain such a column, so you can attribute them at your discretion either to sour fruits or to sweet ones.

FRUITS SWEET: bananas, dates, persimmons, figs, raisins and all dried fruits.

GREENS, NON-STARCH VEGETABLES: tops of all edible plants: parsley, dill, celery, radish and beet tops, lettuce. White cabbage, green and onions, garlic, cucumbers, eggplants, bell peppers, green peas.

SEMI-STARCH VEGETABLES: radishes, rutabagas, radishes and turnips. The food compatibility table does not contain such a column, but it is recommended that they be classified as non-starchy vegetables.
STARCH VEGETABLES: beets, carrots, horseradish, pumpkin, squash, squash, cauliflower, parsley and celery roots.
Melons are not compatible with any other food. At least two hours should elapse between the use of incompatible products.

If foods incompatible with each other enter the stomach at the same time, then their digestion is difficult. This is explained by the fact that an acidic environment is required for the breakdown of proteins, and an alkaline environment for carbohydrates. With the simultaneous consumption of foods containing a lot of proteins and a lot of carbohydrates, the environment is neutralized, as a result of which the food is digested for a long time, it is poorly digested, the processes of fermentation and decay begin. Poorly digested food is poorly absorbed, slowly passes through the gastrointestinal tract, partially remains on the walls of the colon, which can cause constipation, intoxication of the body and, as a result, many diseases. Switching to separate food, that is, in accordance with the food compatibility table, completely eliminates these problems.

Ignorance of the rules of separate nutrition leads to the fact that many people at lunch eat first cottage cheese with bread, then pea soup with meat, fish and potatoes for the second, tea and cake for dessert, and finally eat an apple, believing that it is useful. Apples are really healthy, but not in this combination. As a result of such a meal, no product can be properly digested and assimilated.

With improper nutrition and littering of the body with slags, a large amount of energy is spent on digesting food and neutralizing food toxins. The food compatibility table makes it possible to free up a huge amount of energy for life. Digestion with separate nutrition occurs in the gastrointestinal tract in clean and with the lowest expenditure of hormones, enzymes, gastrointestinal juice. People who eat, observing the laws of food compatibility, do not know what is heaviness in the stomach, heartburn, dull pain in the intestines. By switching to separate meals, in 2 - 3 months you will feel a noticeable surge of strength, stop hurting, increase your efficiency, and at the same time you will look great. Some even have a blush on their cheeks. However, it is necessary to have lunch with mixed food twice a week so that the body does not lose immunity to it.

Reduce the effectiveness of separate nutrition: poor chewing of food, overeating, drinking large amounts of strong tea and coffee, abuse of vegetables and fruits, which are certainly very useful, but within reasonable limits.

Eating fresh foods in your diet is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. But no less significant is their correct combination, which many people forget, and some people have never heard of it. In our article we will tell you about the basic rules of separate nutrition.

The very idea of \u200b\u200ba rational combination of products has existed for a very long time. The ancient Roman physician and philosopher Celsus mentioned an unfavorable combination of foods that were poorly absorbed. He called for the moderate use of everything salty, sweet, fatty, stewed. This issue is also covered in the works of Academician I.P. Pavlova (1849-1936): for each type of food, digestive juices, different in quantity and quality, are allocated. And most fully the problem of the correct combination of food products was considered and substantiated by the American doctor and teacher Herbert Shelton (1895-1985). It was his work that formed the basis of the modern system of separate feeding. The basic tenet of proper nutrition according to Shelton is the statement: "You only need to eat simple, unprocessed food, which is the healthiest diet."

The human body, in the process of digestion, secretes enzymes necessary for the digestion of different groups of substances, therefore it is very important to simultaneously consume foods similar in structure so as not to overstrain the digestive system. There are several groups of substances: proteins, fats, carbohydrates, starches, sugars, acids. And in the process of digestion, they all behave differently. For example, protein breakdown requires an acidic environment, while carbohydrates require an alkaline environment. Therefore, the main goal of separate nutrition is to help the body tune in to each element. If foods of different nature are simultaneously in the stomach, then their digestion is difficult, and when uncombined foods are consumed, a failure occurs in the body. Poorly digested foods are deposited as fat and waste, which can lead to weight gain and disease.

Where are contained ...

... proteins:all nuts and seeds, any grains, legumes (beans, peas), mushrooms, eggs; all products of animal origin (except lard and butter). Eggplant is a vegetable protein.

... carbohydrates:all sweets, sweet fruits, starchy (potatoes), bread, cereals.

... starches:wheat, barley, rye, oats, as well as pumpkin and squash. Moderately starchy foods: cauliflower, root vegetables (turnips, radishes, rutabagas, turnips, carrots, parsnips, etc.).

... sugar:all kinds of sugar, all jams and honey.

... well ira: all types of vegetable oils, animal fats (butter, ghee, lard, fat sour cream and cream).

Characteristics of fruits and vegetables

Sweet: dried fruits, grapes, persimmons, figs, dates.
Acidic: all types of citrus fruits, sour grapes, apples, plums and tomatoes.
Semi-acid: not dried figs, some varieties of apples, peaches, pears, cherries, strawberries, currants.
Non-starchy and green vegetables: parsley, celery, spinach, sorrel, leek, white cabbage, cucumbers, tops from beets and carrots, onions of all kinds, bell peppers, eggplant, green peas, asparagus, radish, garlic and others.

Basic rules for combining products

1) Proteins + carbohydratesincompatible combination. They are digested in different ways and, when mixed, they interfere with each other: for the digestion of proteins, the stomach increases the acidity of the juice, which quickly stops the absorption of carbohydrates, which occurs only in an alkaline environment. Therefore, after the simultaneous intake of such products, fermentation begins.

2) Proteins + proteins... Also not a desirable combination. For the digestion of proteins of different types, gastric juices of different acidity are secreted. Therefore, one of the components will not be digested qualitatively or longer than usual. Do not combine meat with eggs, milk with nuts, cheese and meat.

3) Proteins + fats... Any fats inhibit the production of gastric juice. The presence of fats can delay protein digestion by more than two hours. Therefore, do not combine protein with fat. The situation can be saved only by the abundance of greens on the table, which reduces the ability of fats to inhibit secretion.

4) Proteins + starches... Proteins require a very acidic environment to digest, while starches require a little acid to digest. If you mix these types of products, then the breakdown of starches will suffer, since a lot of hydrochloric acid, intended for proteins, is immediately released in the stomach.

5) Proteins + acids... For protein digestion, hydrochloric acid and pepsin are released. But if you eat acidic food along with protein, then the body will produce less pepsin than necessary. That is, the process of digesting proteins will be delayed. This combination causes the process of fermentation and decay of protein foods.

6) Proteins + sugars... Sugars of any kind interfere with the production of gastric juice. Thus, assimilation of protein foods is inhibited. Don't combine protein with sugars. Protein, not being digested, stays in the stomach for too long, provoking putrefaction processes.

Approx.The following vegetables are combined with proteins: cabbage, root vegetable tops, onions, zucchini, spinach, celery and other vegetables that do not include starch. When eating protein or starchy foods, green leafy vegetables, seasoned with nothing, are the best supplement. You can add tomatoes, bell peppers, cabbage, radishes to such a salad.

7) Carbohydrates + acids - a bad combination. The acidity of foods destroys the enzyme ptyalin (saliva alpha-amylase), which is necessary for the breakdown of carbohydrates.

8) Carbohydrates + carbohydrates (or starches): You can eat one type of starch or carbohydrate at a time (for example, you should not eat bread, potatoes with mashed peas and a sweet cake together), since only one type of starch / carbohydrate will be accepted by the stomach for digestion, and the rest will remain intact, delaying the passage of food, which will eventually lead to fermentation.

9) Carbohydrates + Sugars do not match. Traditional pies with jam, sweet cereal and pasta casseroles, cereals, jam and honey on bread or together with cereals and potatoes cause fermentation in the stomach.

10) Starches + acids... This is not a desirable combination as the acids destroy the starches digesting substances.

11) Starches + sugars... Digestion of starches begins in the mouth under the influence of saliva enzymes, and ends in the stomach. And sugars are only digested in the small intestine. Thus, once they enter the body together, the sugars are retained in the stomach, which causes the fermentation process. Conclusion: porridge should not be sugar or put honey, bread with raisins, prunes or dried apricots in them.

Approx.Starch does not mix well with other foods. Starchy foods cannot be combined with each other. For example, potatoes and bread are digested differently. Therefore, they will interfere with each other. Starchy food must be chewed very well, since saliva processing is important for its absorption. When cooking cereals, do not "smear", let the porridge be dryish - it is healthier. Light vegetables and root vegetables go well with starches. Those enzymes that are present in vegetables contribute to the absorption of starches. Starches take a long time to digest, it is better to leave such food for lunch. The processing of starches takes at least three hours. A person gets a lot of energy from starches, which can be spent on work in the afternoon.

Features:

Melons digested in the intestines. If melons enter the body together with other food, then the digestion of melons and other food is inhibited. Therefore, melons are consumed as an independent dish. Due to the fact that the melon (and sometimes watermelon), being eaten with other foods, is poorly digested in the stomach and causes upset, the opinion arose that the melon "weakens". Meanwhile, it cleans the gastrointestinal tract well if eaten separately.

Milk taken as a separate meal. Milk is difficult to digest together with any food, except for sour fruits.

desserts most of them are not wholesome food. They are difficult to digest, inhibit the absorption of other foods. Therefore, it is best to avoid eating desserts. Cold desserts are very harmful. Since the cold interferes with the work of digestive enzymes.

Fruitvery useful to combine with nuts. In addition, fruits are well digested together with root vegetables and vegetables that do not contain starch.

• Do not mix fruits with other foods.
• Don't eat fruit as a snack. Make fruit for breakfast or dinner.
• It is useful to eat fruit half an hour before meals.
• Sweet and sour fruits should not be mixed. Eat them separately.
• Those fruits that are ripe in one season go well. You can make a fruit salad with celery.

Food combinations to avoid:

• fish + rice;
• chicken + french fries;
• steak + pasta;
• ham sandwich;
• sandwich with cheese;
• breaded fish;
• flour-based sauces for meat;
• nut cakes.
• ham omelet
• omelet with cheese
• melon + ham
• melon + bread
• melon + cake
• melon + fruit salad

Allowed combinations

• fish + vegetables;
• chicken + salad;
• steak + salad;
• ham without bread;
• a slice of cheese without bread;
• grilled fish;
• meat with satsebeli sauce;
• a handful of nuts.
• omelet with broccoli
• omelet with vegetables

In order not to get confused in the combination of such a variety of products, you can use the following visual and simplified scheme:

1st group - protein products. Digested in an acidic environment: meat, fish, eggs, legumes, nuts, seeds, eggplants;

2nd group - live products. As a rule, they are used without heat treatment. Contains enzymes for the breakdown of nutrients: greens, fruits, vegetables (except potatoes), berries, dry wine;

3rd group - carbohydrates. Digested in an alkaline environment: sugar, honey, jam, potatoes, bread.

Conditionally compatible groups: 1 + 2, 2 + 3.

So much has been said, what and what cannot be combined, that a completely fair question arises - and what can you eat with what?

Meat, fish, poultry.

The best side dish for meat dishes is salad, spinach, beetroot, cabbage, asparagus, zucchini, pumpkin, onion, radish, cucumber. By the way, we don't recommend a salad of tomatoes and cucumbers (a classic of the genre!): The enzyme ascorbate oxidase is released from sliced \u200b\u200bcucumbers, which destroys vitamin C, which tomatoes are rich in.

Potatoes.

Zucchini and white cabbage go well with boiled and baked potatoes. Seasoning the potatoes with herbs or fried onions is also a healthy option. By the way, it is also better not to season potatoes with oil. Because potatoes are a source of carbohydrates, they have a high glycemic index (which means they raise blood sugar). To lower glucose, the pancreas produces large amounts of insulin, which stimulates the formation of fat cells. And we don't need extra folds on the body.

Groats.Eat any cereals on the water (buckwheat, millet, rice, oatmeal, barley, etc.) with vegetable salads seasoned with olive oil.

Fruitit is better to eat separately, two hours after a meal, or 40-60 minutes before a meal. However, in the modern rhythm of life, it is better to eat fruit for dessert than confectionery. Therefore, the combination of fruits with other products is still acceptable.

Fluid intake either half an hour before a meal, or two hours after a meal.

The combination of cottage cheese and fermented milk products will be harmonious only if homogeneous products with sour milk (cheese, sour cream, feta cheese, etc.) become "partners".

NB! When preparing food, do not forget the golden rule: "The less complex the food mixtures, the simpler our dishes, the more efficient digestion can be expected."

Each of us at least once experienced a state when something from our food did not suit our body. Some food combinations are known to be inappropriate. Let's do justice to this fact and make our meals more enjoyable while improving our health.
The principles and rules of food compatibility were first formulated in the 30s by Dr. Hay.
His theory boils down to the fact that we should eat as much alkalizing food as possible, eat fruits separately and in their natural form, avoid processed and refined foods, do not mix concentrated protein and concentrated carbohydrate foods in one dish. Over the past 65 years, we have received a ton of compelling examples to support this theory. These rules are very easy to follow.

Rule 1:
Meat, fish and eggs are concentrated protein foods. For its absorption, your stomach needs to produce large amounts of acid and digestive enzymes.
Therefore:
- Limit fluid intake during meals;
- Don't eat sugar;
- Eat more vegetables and vegetable protein along with animal protein;
- After a protein meal, take a 2-3 hour break before your next meal. This is necessary for its assimilation.
______ Rule 2:
Potatoes, turnips, pumpkin, green vegetables, pasta, nuts, seeds, Brussels sprouts and bread are all-in-one. The consumption of these foods leads to the formation of an alkaline environment in the stomach.
They are very easy to digest. Therefore:
- Don't eat sugar;
- Take a 1-2 hour break before your next meal so that the carbohydrates can be absorbed.
______ Rule 3:
Fruits provide the best energy boost. They are the best source of sugar that we need from time to time. The assimilation of fruits is very fast, since our body is able to easily produce the necessary enzymes and hormones. An alkaline environment forms in the stomach. Therefore:
- Eat fruit in between meals;
- Do not eat sweets, chocolate or other sugar-containing foods with fruit;
- Take a break of 30 minutes to digest the fruit before your next meal.

================
Along with the simple rules listed above, there are Nutrition Principles:
1. The acid-base balance of the blood is directly determined by our nutrition. As noted in Dr. Shishlov's Methods, maintaining an optimal alkaline reaction in the blood ensures stable health and a cheerful, energetic state of health. Try to provide 55-70% of your required daily energy intake from Complex Carbohydrates, as "internal stress" and acidification of the body are in direct agreement.
2. Many foods are a mixture of proteins and carbohydrates. Consume them as they are, as it is impossible to separate protein and carbohydrates from each other.
Mixing concentrated proteins and concentrated carbohydrates (such as steak and fried potatoes) is another matter. Benefits can hardly be expected from such mixing.
3. Acids are formed in our digestive system from phosphorus, sulfur, nitrogen and chlorine, which we receive mainly from animal foods such as meat, fish, eggs, etc.
Alkalis are formed in the digestive system from calcium, potassium, magnesium and sodium, which are found most in vegetables, pasta, legumes and almost all fresh hands.
Fresh milk is slightly alkaline. The needs of our body are met
due to the variety of this type of product.
4. Our body does not need "quick" energy replenishment with the help of pure sugar and sugar-containing foods. In fact, the body simply cannot handle the flow of sugar, and this leads to an unacceptable rise in blood sugar. When this happens, a wide variety of hormones and enzymes are produced to restore balance. In addition, sugar begins to feed "unfriendly" microorganisms in the digestive tract, such as fermentation bacteria. Ripe fruits are easy to digest and absorb without disturbing the blood balance. Almost all fruits are immediately digested by gastric juices. Therefore, they must be consumed separately from other foods. The exceptions are bananas, coconuts and apples. They ferment poorly. Therefore, bananas with oatmeal or some other porridge are perfectly acceptable food.

Food compatibility

It is very important for us to know which foods can be consumed together, in what sequence, and which ones can be consumed separately. If quickly digesting food is consumed after a meal that needs long-term processing, then the timely elimination of the last portion of food does not occur due to the fact that the exit from the stomach is blocked by food that requires long-term digestion. After eating, you should not eat astringent foods such as quince or foods that decompose food. If you eat garlic after the cabbage, then the cabbage will not be digested, but will rot. An apple eaten on an empty stomach leaves the stomach for 15-20 minutes, and oranges even faster. If fruits are eaten for dessert after a hearty meal, then they remain in the stomach along with long-term digested food and begin to ferment after 20 minutes. Each type of food requires a specific enzyme composition. This means that for the digestion of a particular food, a special composition of gastric juice is required. And other conditions for the digestion of a specific product differ from each other - an acidic environment is required for the digestion of proteins, and starchy food is broken down in an alkaline environment, and acidity will only inhibit the activity of the necessary enzyme. Therefore, it is better not to eat protein and starchy foods together. It is best not to eat carbohydrates with acidic foods such as vinegar, lemon, or ketchup. If the bread is washed down with tomato juice, then the activity of the saliva amylase, the enzyme responsible for the breakdown of starchy foods, is suppressed.
There is also a phase of intestinal digestion, when, under the influence of pancreatic juice, the food slurry that has left the stomach is broken down. But the complete breakdown of food gruel in the small intestine is possible only if the food in the stomach is fully processed. For example, porridge on water quickly breaks down under the influence of not very strong gastric juice and quickly leaves the stomach. If the porridge is eaten together with meat, the stomach cannot produce gastric juice of such a composition, which is necessary for both foods. Therefore, such food remains in the stomach for too long and leaves the stomach incompletely broken down. Of course, the juice of the pancreas will bring the digestion of this food to the end, but it will ask for an additional load on the liver, pancreas and small intestine. And the eater himself will feel “a stone in the stomach”.
It is also essential that beneficial microorganisms predominantly feed on plant fiber, and meat promotes the reproduction of microflora, which determines the processes of food decomposition. The human digestive tract is designed for plant foods: fruits, cereals, vegetables and herbs. The bacteria in the intestines are important. The transformation of fiber into either nutrients or toxins depends on them. The quality processing of other nutrients also depends on microorganisms. If a person ate properly, then the result is obvious: the feces have practically no smell, no gases are formed.
Now in more detail about food groups.

Sweet fruits:
Bananas, dates, persimmons, figs, all dried fruits. Fruits break down quickly, sweet fruits stay in the stomach a little longer than sour fruits. Fruit must be taken separately, for example, at an afternoon snack or before the start of a meal. It is very unfavorable to eat fruit after eating, because then fermentation begins in the stomach. Fruit juices should be drunk separately from other foods, as they are concentrated foods. Sweet fruits go well with each other, as well as semi-sour fruits such as persimmons and apples. Bananas are worse combined with other fruits. Light fruit can be combined with cream, sour cream, herbs and fermented milk products.
__________ Semi-acid fruits:
Mango, blueberry, blueberry, strawberry, raspberry, apple, pear, plum, grape, apricot, peach, watermelon. These fruits can be combined with sweet fruits, sour fruits, dairy products, cream, herbs, as well as protein foods that are high in fat, such as cheese, nuts, and fatty cottage cheese. These fruits cannot be combined with eggs, fish, mushrooms, peas and legumes. It is not advised to consume these fruits together with starchy foods. Eat peaches, blueberries, blueberries, grapes, melon and watermelon as a separate meal, because these fruits are very quickly processed in the stomach and do not combine well with other foods.
____________ Sour fruits:
Oranges, tangerines, grapefruits, pineapples, pomegranates, lemons, gooseberries, cranberries, sour apples, pears, plums, apricots, grapes.
These fruits are well compatible both with each other and with fermented milk products, cream, sour cream and fatty cottage cheese.
They can be combined with nuts, cheeses and herbs.
Sour fruits are not compatible with animal proteins, legumes, peas, starchy foods, and vegetables.
____________ Well-combined vegetables:
Cucumbers, fresh cabbage (except cauliflower), radishes, bell peppers, beans, turnips, onions, garlic, beets, rutabagas, carrots, early zucchini, early pumpkin, salad.
These vegetables combine well with any food, promoting its digestibility, for example, with proteins (meat with cucumbers, carrots with cottage cheese), with fats (cabbage with butter), with other vegetables, with foods containing starch (bread with beets, with herbs ...
Do not combine vegetables with milk!
It is undesirable to eat vegetables and fruits at the same time.
_____________ Poorly combined vegetables:
Cauliflower, green peas, late squash, late pumpkin, eggplant, squash.
These vegetables are great to combine with starchy foods, such as bread, with all vegetables, fats, such as sour cream and herbs.
It is permissible to use with cheeses.
Less desirable is a combination of these vegetables with animal proteins such as eggs and meat.
Absolutely incompatible with milk and fruits.

Starchy foods:
Wheat, rye, oats and products from these grains, such as pasta and bread, as well as buckwheat, rice, potatoes, edible chestnuts and corn.
Combines perfectly with herbs, fats and all vegetables.
A combination of these products with each other is also permissible. This should be avoided by people with a tendency to be overweight. In addition, various cereals differ in the amount of proteins among themselves, so it is better not to combine cereals with each other.
When combining foods containing starch with fats, you must add herbs or vegetables at the same time.
The combination of carbohydrates and proteins is very unfavorable. It is especially important not to combine carbohydrates with meat, milk and fermented milk products, for example, porridge with milk, bread with kefir. It is undesirable to combine starchy foods with sugars, for example, bread with jam, porridge with sugar, as well as any fruit or fruit juices.
___________ Protein products:
Meat, fish, eggs, cottage cheese, cheeses, feta cheese, milk, buttermilk, kefir, legumes, lentils, peas, nuts, seeds, mushrooms.
Ideal with seeds and vegetables that pair well. Promotes the processing of proteins and the elimination of various toxins.
Exceptions include milk - it must be eaten separately. Better to give preference to warm, unboiled, unpasteurized milk. Pasteurized milk is very heavy in quality. In some cases, milk can be combined with sweet fruits such as bananas, but each person has their own individual tolerance for food.
A combination of proteins with fats is permissible, moreover, fats of animal origin are better combined with proteins of animal origin, and proteins of plant origin - with fats of plant origin. It must be borne in mind that fats slow down the digestion process. To improve digestion, it must be combined with fresh vegetables and herbs.
Proteins cannot be combined with foods that contain starch, fruits and sugars.
Exceptions include cottage cheese, cheeses, dairy products, nuts and seeds - they can be combined with fruits.
___________Greens:
Lettuce, dandelions, nettle, plantain, green onion, sorrel, coriander, parsley, acacia, rose petals, dill, etc. The greens are compatible with all products except milk.
___________ Fats:
Butter and ghee, sour cream, cream, vegetable oils, lard and other fats of animal origin. Sometimes fatty meats, fatty fish and nuts are included here.
Fats slow down the secretion of gastric juice, especially if consumed at the beginning of a meal. But sometimes eating fat will destroy the congestion in the stomach caused by poor food combinations.
Fats go well with herbs, vegetables, starchy foods, such as porridge with butter. In some cases, a combination of fats and fruits is acceptable, especially for berries, for example, strawberries with cream.
Do not combine fats with sugars, for example, cream with sugar. Ghee is compatible with almost all foods. Vegetable oils are best used with fish, which are high in unsaturated fatty acids. It is better not to combine fats with meat.

Sahara:
Fructose, jam, honey, molasses, brown sugar, syrups.
Together with proteins and starchy foods, they cause fermentation, promotes the decomposition of other products.
It is better to eat sweets separately, but you cannot do this at the end of the meal. Ideally, it's best to skip sweets or eat them as a separate meal.
The exception is honey. A small amount of meld is recommended to be taken together with other food products, since honey promotes the absorption of biologically active substances and delays the processes of food decay. Honey cannot be combined only with animal products. Honey cannot be heated because it becomes toxic.
Meat, fish, cottage cheese and cheese are highly concentrated protein foods. It is possible to live without them; if possible, you should not eat these foods every day.
After eating, it is advisable to sit at the table for at least 5 minutes, and then take a slow walk for 20 minutes.
Subject to the rules of proper nutrition, soups are not necessary. It is better not to cook soups in broth, but to eat puree soup for the first time.

BASIC COMBINATION RULES
FOOD PRODUCTS

Foods containing starch, sugar, do not eat with proteins and acidic fruits
interval between meals at least 4 hours
do not eat refined foods (flour, sugar, margarine)
All products are divided conventionally:

Protein
starchy
neutral

CLASSIFICATION OF FOOD

All food products are divided into two main categories according to the place of digestibility in the gastrointestinal tract:

The main protein food of animal and plant origin: meat, poultry, fish and all products from them, cottage cheese and dairy products, milk, cheeses, eggs, legumes, nuts
Foods rich in starch: bread and all flour products, cereals, potatoes, rice.

MEAT, Poultry, FISH:

The first column is the most important because this is where it is easiest to break product compatibility rules. For meat of all types, a combination with green non-starchy vegetables is favorable, since such a combination neutralizes the harmful properties of animal proteins, helps their digestion and removes excess cholesterol from the blood. Use hormone-free and antibiotic-free meat and poultry. The combination of animal proteins with strong alcohol precipitates pepsin, which is essential for the digestion of animal proteins.

GRAINS (beans, peas, lentils):

The peculiarities of the compatibility of pulses with other products are explained by the dual nature. As starches, they go well with fats, especially easy to digest - vegetable oil and sour cream, and as a source of vegetable protein they are good with herbs and starchy vegetables.

CREAM BUTTER AND CREAM:

Use only fresh, without yellow bloom, with a short period of time for use, without preservatives, emulsifiers, heat treatment is not desirable, contain vitamins A, D, E.

VEGETABLE OIL:

Vegetable oils - in its raw form it is better to use oil of the first cold pressing ("virgin"), store in the refrigerator, it is better to fry without oil, if necessary - minimal heat treatment.

SUGAR, CONFECTIONERY:

The consumption of sugar and confectionery should be avoided, not combined with any other food. All sugars inhibit gastric acid secretion. For their digestion, neither saliva nor gastric juice is needed: they are absorbed directly in the intestines. If sweets are eaten with other food, then lingering in the stomach for a long time, they very soon cause fermentation in it and, in addition, reduce the motility of the stomach. Sour belching, heartburn are the results of this process. Honey - a product already processed by the digestive apparatus of bees, is absorbed into the bloodstream 20 minutes after ingestion, and at the same time does not load the liver and all other body systems.

DRIED FRUITS:

Useful, but without special treatment with sulfur dioxide, blanch before use.

BREAD, CEREALS:

All foods rich in starch should always be handled with caution because starch itself, in its pure form, is an extremely difficult to digest product. The ban on the combination of animal proteins with starchy foods is the first and, perhaps, the most important law of separate nutrition. Bread is considered a separate meal and not a required addition to every meal. However, bread made from unpeeled, whole grains can be eaten with a variety of salads, regardless of their composition. Make your own bread from whole grain flour with BRAN - a source of fiber, B vitamins, calcium, iron. Keep refrigerated.

Only not polished - brown.

POTATOES:

It can partially replace cereal starch, only boiled or baked, preferably with a peel, if you are sure that there was no special processing. It goes well with vegetable salads.

ACID FRUITS, TOMATOES:

Sour fruits in all cases include citrus and pomegranates, and all others to taste. Tomatoes stand out from all vegetables with a high content of acids - citric, malic, oxalic.

FRUITS SWEET:

Their combination with milk and nuts is acceptable, however, in small quantities, because it's hard for digestion. But it is better not to combine fruits (sour and sweet) with anything at all, because they are absorbed in the intestines. You need to eat them at least 15-20 minutes before eating, but not after eating. This rule should be especially strict with regard to watermelons and melons.

VEGETABLES GREEN AND NOT STARCHY:

These include the tops of all edible plants (parsley, dill, celery, radish tops, beets), lettuce, wild "table" herbs, as well as white cabbage, green and onions, garlic, cucumbers, eggplants, bell peppers, green peas. Radishes, rutabagas, radishes, young zucchini and turnips are "semi-starchy" vegetables, which, in combination with various products, are more likely to adjoin green and non-starchy ones.

STARCHY VEGETABLES:

This category includes: beets, carrots, horseradish, parsley and celery roots, pumpkin, squash and squash, cauliflower. The combination of these vegetables with sugar causes a strong fermentation, the rest of the combinations are either good or acceptable.

Separate food, not drink. Once in the stomach, milk should curdle under the influence of acidic juices. If other food is present in the stomach, then milk particles envelop it, isolating it from gastric juice. And until the curdled milk is digested, the food remains unprocessed, the digestion process is delayed, the movement of food slows down, this leads to constipation, flatulence, gastric and intestinal discomfort. Milk goes best with vegetables and fruits.

Cottage cheese, fermented milk products:

Curd is an indigestible complete protein. Compatible with homogeneous products (sour milk, sour cream, cheese, feta cheese).
CHEESE, CHEESE:

The most acceptable cheeses are young cheeses of the homemade type, i.e. a cross between cottage cheese and cheese. Processed cheeses are an unnatural product, significantly processed. Cheese is a healthy protein product, which, however, requires soaking in cold water to remove excess salt.
EGGS:

This protein product is not easy to digest. However, eggs work well with green and non-starchy vegetables.
NUTS:

Almonds, hazel. Due to their rich fat content, nuts are akin to cheese. However, cheese contains animal fats, and nuts are vegetable fats, which are easier to digest. Peeled nuts should be used immediately, due to the rapid oxidation of fat, or frozen. Combine with vegetable and fruit salads.
SEEDS:

Sunflower, pumpkin, sesame - a source of protein, magnesium, calcium. Store in the refrigerator as quickly oxidized.
Separate feeding recommendations:

NEVER EAT CARBOHYDRATED OR SURDIC FOOD AT THE SAME TIME.

Bread, potatoes, peas, beans, beans, bananas, dates and other carbohydrate foods should not be eaten with lemon, orange, grapefruit, pineapple, cranberries, tomatoes and other sour fruits.

NEVER EAT CONCENTRATED PROTEIN AND CONCENTRATED CARBOHYDRATE IN ONE FOOD.

This means: do not eat nuts, meat, eggs, cheese and other protein foods along with bread, cereals, cakes, and sweet fruits. In one step, you need to eat eggs, fish, milk, cheese, in the other - bread, cereals, noodles (if there is no way to refuse them).

NEVER EAT TWO CONCENTRATED PROTEINS IN ONE MEAL.

Two proteins of different types and compositions require different digestive juices and different concentrations. These juices are not released into the stomach at the same time. Therefore, you should always follow the rule: ONE PROTEIN IN ONE FOOD.

DO NOT EAT FAT WITH PROTEIN.

Cream, butter, sour cream, vegetable oil should not be eaten with meat, eggs, cheese, nuts and other proteins. Fat suppresses the action of the gastric glands and inhibits the secretion of gastric juices when eating meat, eggs, nuts.

DO NOT EAT SOUR FRUIT WITH PROTEIN.

Oranges, lemons, tomatoes, pineapples, cherries, sour plums, sour apples, cannot be eaten with meat, nuts, eggs. The less complex the food mixtures, the simpler our meals, the more efficient our digestion.

DO NOT EAT STARCHES AND SUGAR IN ONE MEAL.

Jellies, jams, fruit butter, molasses sugar, syrups on bread or in one meal with cereals, potatoes, sugar and cereals - all this causes fermentation.

Eat ONLY ONE CONCENTRATED STARCH AT ONE FOOD.

If two types of starch (potatoes or porridge with bread) are consumed in one meal, then one of them goes for assimilation, and the other remains intact in the stomach, like a load, the intestines do not pass, delays the assimilation of other food, causes its fermentation, an increase in gastric acidity. juice, belching, etc.

DO NOT EAT MELON WITH ANY OTHER FOOD.

Watermelon, honey, cantaloupe and other types of melons should always be eaten separately.

MILK IS BETTER TO TAKE SEPARATELY OR NOT AT ALL.

The fat of milk prevents the secretion of gastric juice for some time. Milk is absorbed not in the stomach, but in the duodenum, therefore, the stomach does not react to the presence of milk with secretion, which interferes with the assimilation of other food.

We don't think about product compatibility when we get to the festive table. Later we complain about the malaise, referring to poor-quality cooking. In fact, we ate a lot of different treats and paid for it. A particular effect with such promiscuity is the use of melon as a dessert. What you can't eat melon and why, let's figure it out.

What is known about product compatibility

A product incompatibility table has long been developed. She indicates what can be eaten in one meal, and which dishes are best divided. The meaning, translated into the language of an ordinary consumer, is that for the decomposition of products into components, a different composition of gastric juice is required for each product. They were grouped in acidity and degradation groups. In this case, there is a slight decomposition of food, and the stomach is not overloaded.

If, however, foods that require different components in the gastric juice are served at the same time, then they mutually neutralize each other and digestion is slow, severity and other problems arise. Therefore, they talk about the compatibility of products for simultaneous administration.

Types of products that are included in a person's menu:

• protein, requiring acidic enzymes for digestion;
• acidic plant foods;
• slightly acidic, non-starchy vegetable products;
• starchy foods fermented in an alkaline environment.

A traditional second dish, meat with a porridge or a side dish is poorly digested, but good with a cabbage side dish. With the wrong food intake, it is poorly absorbed, most of the nutrients go to waste.

The excellent vitamin greens of lettuce and spinach, when added with salt, completely lose their benefits. Green tea with milk is a useless combination. Coffee and sandwich mutually destroy usefulness.

Melon is incompatible with any food. It is eaten between meals of at least two hours. Fresh milk belongs to the same incompatible products. It is a protein product, but in an acidic environment it curls up.

Why can't melon be eaten with other foods?

Melon belongs to the pumpkin family and is a close relative. From the very appearance on the tables of the nobility, it has become a favorite dessert. No one knew then that improper eating of a melon could cause death. After the death of another lover of food, it happened that the servants of the poisoners were executed. Later we figured out that melon cannot be a dessert. Its taste and aroma are enjoyed the moment the stomach is unloaded and ready to take a new portion of food.

It turns out that the sweet vegetable will stay in the stomach for a few minutes, the melon mass will be digested in the intestines. If you prevent it, keep it in the stomach, you won't end up with problems. Here it will ferment quickly without being digested, with all the consequences - flatulence, diarrhea, colic, nausea. Therefore, in order to fully enjoy the honey taste of the Charju melon, it is necessary to empty the stomach and slowly put a piece in your mouth with a fork, closing your eyes from pleasure. There are many benefits to this eating. This is why melon should be eaten separately from other foods.

The low-calorie product contains 35 kcal per 100 g, but contains:

• energy components are mainly carbohydrates;
• alimentary fiber;
• vitamins and minerals.

However, melon contains 10 times more iron than chicken and milk. Potassium is present 120 mg, a lot of niacin, vitamin C. Due to the high concentration of folic acid, the product is recommended for people with weakened brain activity, the elderly. Melon is also useful for liver diseases, anemia, diseases of the cardiovascular system. The substance seperoxide dismutase, present in the melon, restores peace of mind and relieves fatigue.

At the same time, a sweet product is not recommended for weight loss patients with diabetes mellitus. For medicinal purposes, the melon is introduced into the diet under the supervision of a physician. In support of the fact that melon is an independent product that is incompatible with others, let us give the body's reaction to the simultaneous intake of different components:

1. Melon with milk or fermented milk products will create a violent laxative effect. Therefore, you should not buy yogurt with melon for children. Despite the assurances of manufacturers, if the products are natural, diarrhea will not keep you waiting.
2. You can not eat a melon completely on an empty stomach, problems with bloating and nausea will begin. It is dangerous for those who have problems with the gastrointestinal tract.
3. Alcohol and melon are incompatible. There are three paths of problems here. Some complain of severe constipation, others pass the TRP standards along the way. There are still others who are taken away by an ambulance for gastric lavage.
4. Breastfeeding moms shouldn't feast on melon. The baby will inevitably experience loosening of the chair. All mothers are afraid of this, since dehydration of the child's body instantly sets in.
5. It is also not recommended to drink a melon with water, fermentation, colic and diarrhea may occur soon.

The combination leads to trouble and explains why melon should not be eaten with other foods. In a special place is the interaction of two medicinal products, honey and melon in the stomach.

Why can't you eat a melon with honey?

Since ancient times, the order has been passed not to eat melon with honey. In those days, intestinal obstruction was called volvulus. So, it was believed that honey with melon creates a stone in the intestines, permeability is impaired, and terrible torments await a person.

However, there are people who eat honey and melon at the same time without consequences. Doctors believe that the compatibility of melon and honey, even for a healthy person, is questionable. For those who have undergone abdominal surgery, and have adhesions and scars, bowel obstruction may occur. Therefore, risking your health and turning two medicinal products into an explosive mixture for the body is not worth it. There are only a few people who always eat melon with honey and do not experience any unpleasant sensations. Before conducting an experiment, think about who needs it?
