Food Combining Diet
Food Combining and Digestion

Is a food combining diet for real? Is there a link between food combining and digestion? There just may be.

I have always been sceptical of combining foods. It is commonly believed that the human stomach should be able to digest any number of different foods at the same time. But is this true? Or should we be more concerned with what foods we are combining?

I eat foods that are all mixed together at one time. Most of us do. Our western diet is built on it. Meat and potatoes, eggs and bacon, etc. Followed by a sweet dessert.

Well I feel like crap. Poor digestion. A somewhat sluggish metabolism. Low energy.

Hmmm, maybe there is a correlation between food combining and healthy digestion.

Digestion is governed by physiological chemistry. It is not only what we eat that is crucial to our health, but what we are able to digest and assimilate for energy.

So since I have always been interested in digestion and cleansing the colon and detoxifying the body, etc., I decided to look into these diets a bit more.

The science behind healthy food combining is that acid foods and alkaline foods should not be eaten together. There is much more to it than that of course, but this is the basic premise.

When looking at a food combining chart

I want to say that it would be difficult to follow a food combing diet. The food combining rules are fairly rigid. Of course, being able to do something or not do it depends on the person.

So for the past few days I have been following a food combining diet. And I actually feel better. No nausea, more energy, less gas, the constant pain in my knee is gone, better trips to the bathroom. Could all of this be attributed to a food combining diet?

For some people who may have digestion problems I think there is a link between food combining and digestion. So if you are one of these people it may be worth it to try a food combining diet.

What about food combining for weight loss?

Well if you are digesting foods more efficiently, and eating healthy foods of course, you may certainly notice that you do lose weight.

You still have to exercise and follow a daily healthy eating plan.

This diet alone will not be the weight loss miracle you may hope it to be.

It is more about proper digestion, feeling better, and having more energy.

So far it is working for me and I intend to keep following along with proper food combining.
