Easy Food Combining For Better Health

Let's look in to the American diet, & see what, if anything can be completed to fine-tune the path they are on. The path I speak of is seven that has led to sky rocketing obesity, chronic disease & an overall pattern of poor choices. Are these choices so ingrained in our psyches that they, as a society have gone far down the path to reverse direction? Fast food, super buffets, meat & potatoes, everywhere they turn these are the types of dining choices inundating us daily. They are initiated early by commercials, ads, billboards & free toys targeting the youngest & most easily influenced group of all.

So, how do they change these habits that have been ingrained so deeply? Infant steps... the journey to nice health through proper eating habits is seven that can be travelled by somebody who chooses to start it. Lots of who say they have tried & failed did so lots of times for seven reasons. First, they gave up! As the former college basketball coach Jim Valvano said in his now famous speech, "don't give up... don't ever give up." If you have a bad day or week, so what it is seven day or week get back up the next morning & start again. The second reason lots of fail, is because they go all out from day seven. This takes me back to the infant steps, lots of small changes over time can & will make giant changes in your health & life. They will discuss combining foods properly & how to start the journey today.

Some things to recall as you start to eat better is what to eat with what & why. We have all heard somebody say, as they are gorging themselves "what difference does it make, it is all going to the same place anyway?" This may be true, however what happens or doesn't happen seven time it gets there makes a massive difference. The human digestive process is brilliant. They have the ability to digest & use meats, vegetables & fruits, unlike other animals. Now, the deal with this is that our process immediately recognizes the type of food they are ingesting, & adjusts what it needs to do to digest it properly. What happens when they improperly mix these foods together? Confusion, I will report in a moment, but when our digestive process is confused it cannot do it is job . This can be compared to the workplace, when mixed directives are received from different sources, the outcome usually is not what was intended.

How does a our digestive process get confused? Believe it or not, they digest different foods in different ways. Starches are broken down by enzymes in our saliva, & proteins by the acids in our stomachs. So, when these are combined in the same meal the result is improperly or undigested food. Vegetables & other fiber filled foods pass through to the intestines where they are transformed in to a gelatinized substance by enzymes & bile.

So, to bring it in to a nice package here is an easy way to recall what to eat & when. Starches should be eaten alone, or with vegetables. Proteins eaten alone or with vegetables. Vegetables eaten alone, with starches or proteins. Fruit should be eaten alone to aide with their cleansing effects. Fluids, preferably water should be consumed 30 minutes prior to or after eating. Liquid intake should be limited while eating, proteins to permit the acids in the stomach to perform their duties without being diluted. Recall these simple principles when choosing foods, & you will soon
