The right combination of products - how it should be

Perhaps, many have heard of such a concept as a combination of products. However, hardly it occurred to anyone that not only our figure, but also digestion depends on how we combine them. In relation to the latter immediately make a reservation that the wrong combination of food leads to a number of serious diseases.

That is why, and not only, today we will touch upon this issue. In order to understand it, let's first divide all existing products into three main groups according to the principle of their processing in the gastrointestinal tract.

The first group will include proteins. For their digestion, it is required predominantly an acid that is released by various glands, pancreas, for example, and others located in the walls of the small intestine.

The second group is carbohydrates. They are processed in the gastrointestinal tract by means of alkalies secreted by the salivary glands of the mouth.

And, finally, the third group - the so-called "live foods". This includes the nutrients themselves, so necessary to the human body, as well as the enzymes that split them. "Live food" is already ready building material for the whole body. And the organism, receiving them, does not waste its energy on their digestion.

There is another group - neutral - it's fats. They are easily combined with both proteins and carbohydrates. And in relation to "living foods" they are neutral.

And now let's move from theory to practice. Such a combination of products like meat and bread, eggs and bread, cheese and all the same bread, meat products and potatoes, porridge and eggs, potato salad and meat we used to see in our daily lives. But, according to nutritionists, and they are absolutely right, such combinations are completely unacceptable.

The correct combination of products looks different. First you should use proteins, that is eggs, cottage cheese, milk, meat. And only after this you can proceed to carbohydrates.

What is the reason for this? The fact is that the first stage of processing both protein and starch is carried out in completely opposite environments. Namely, the protein needs an acid medium, and for starch it is alkaline. In this regard, the body can not cope with the task in full, which leads to the formation of pepsin due to poorly digested starch (potatoes). And this, in turn, slows the processing of protein.

This combination of products like vegetable salads and protein foods or vegetables and potatoes is optimal. Moreover, in the morning or, in extreme cases, during the day, you can safely eat a vegetable salad with your favorite whole potatoes. And for dinner, it is best to prepare a salad of vegetables and use it with a piece of meat.

If you try to concretize, then the first group of products include legumes, meat, eggplant, fish, seeds, eggs, beans and bread. The second include bread, sugar, pasta, cereals, jam, potatoes, honey and various compotes. And, finally, the third are fruits, greens, vegetables, dried fruits, berries, including watermelons.

So, the combination of products of the first and third groups, as well as the second and third individually, will be correct. In no event can you eat foods from the second and the first group at the same time.

Interestingly, melon does not belong to any of these groups. For our body, it is a medic and cleans joints, vessel walls and intestinal mucosa. Melon should be eaten separately from all foods with a difference of two hours between meals.

A few words about fruits in general. According to long-established custom, fruits are usually served for dessert. Just do not do this. They are best used separately from all foods as a snack.

And remember that a complex combination of products gives a big load on the body and to cope with it only the absolutely healthy person can. The less components there are in your dishes, the lower the load on the intestines, stomach and liver. Learn to eat right!
