GENERAL ADVICES Simplicity is good fruit have to be alone not mix different sources of protein(seeds or legumes) seeds and legumes + vegetables with vitamin C vegetables can be combined with any other aliments, eat them preferably raw to take all their vitamins. use apples with any other aliments too not take a lot of water in meals not take infusions until 2 or 3 hours after meals. avoid fast food milky products have to be alone FRUITS They don`t have to be combined with other aliments. some people have digestive problems, it`s better to wait 2 or 3 hours after each meal to take them or one hour before. the banana is a starchy aliment, usually generates gases if it`s combined with acid fruits. the only fruit that can be combined with any aliment is the apple the lemon juice also can be combined with legumes or vegetables without problems. LIQUIDS despite the importance of drinking one liter of water per day, is not recommended to drink a lot in meals because it floods the aliments and the digestion turns more difficult. the coke and the coffee decalcify bones and block the absorption of iron, so the best way of taking coffee is 3 hours far from meals. the tea drags the vitamins consumed, so also it`s better to take it 2 hours from meals. A bad combination of aliments in the diet can generate an alteration of the absorption of nutrients, heavy and slow digestions and also can produce dizziness. Any person can see in his own if he`s eating correctly or not, with the way he feels after eating. when you now how to combine aliments, they will feel you like a glass of water, and you`ll feel your body stronger and in a better way.

Any person can see in his own if he`s eating correctly or not, with the way he feels after eating. when you now how to combine aliments, they will feel you like a glass of water, and you`ll feel your body stronger and in a better way.VEGETABLES they can be combined anyways and we can eat as much as we want.they have a lot of good nutrients and its better to take them raw to take more advantage of them.the potato and the sweet potato must be separated in the diet because together make gases, but they can be combined with any another vegetable.LEGUMESit`s very important to leave them to soak the night before consuming to make lighter them and to active their properties. as they are source of iron, they must be combined with aliments rich in vitamin c to increase their absorption. Like rice with lentils.

the combination of legumes and vegetables make gases and slow down the digestion but there is no problem if we take them separately the same day.

1. Fruit First

Fruit is a food that digests best alone. While you’ll read in #3 that not all fruits digest best together, it has the fastest exit rate of the stomach, therefore should be eaten first or alone. For those concerned about their blood sugar, as long as fruit is eaten without fat and/or with leafy greens, blood sugar will remain stable.Abundant in nutrients, anti-oxidants, and water, fruit is an excellent snack that is easily digested by the human body but needs to be eaten first!

2. Protein and Starches do NOT Mix

Is it a common occurrence to consume a heaping serving of mashed potatoes next to a large portion of meat and/or dairy? This is one of the worst food combinations, but can easily be improved.  Because the human body requires an acid base to digest proteins and an alkaline base to digest starches, this can lengthen the time of digestion and cause fermentation in the gut. This can lead to bloating, indigestion, and stinky bowel movements.

To correct his, it is best to eat proteins with non-starchy vegetables and especially leafy greens. Starches can be consumed on their own or with other vegetables, but not with protein.

3. Melons Go Alone

Have you ever had the misfortune of consuming watermelon after a BBQ feast? Most likely you experienced gas, a slight blood sugar drop, and/or nausea. That is because not only are melons a type of fruit (and should be eaten alone), but they digest completely different than other sweet treats. For optimal digestion, melons should be consumed alone and on an empty stomach.

4. Leafy Greens Abound

Greens are easily ruled as one of the best foods for mankind. Loaded with amino acids (building blocks of protein), essential minerals and nutrients (B vitamins, magnesium, iron, and more!), and fiber (great for digestion), they food combine well with all foods, and therefore should make a regular appearance on your plate.

For example, a salad is a great contribution to every meal and the live enzymes will help your other food digest smoothly.

5. Fat Rules

Page 3: Food Combining Rules

While fats and oils combine well with everything (except fruit!), they should be used in limited amounts as they are very caloric dense and slow down digestion. Therefore, save your hearty meal with fat for early dinner or allow your body at least 4-5 hours to digest a dense lunch before feasting again.

6. Time Lengths

Because foods digest at different rates, you can lessen the taxation on your body by waiting until the previous food has exited the stomach and is being digested in the intestines. Wait the following amount of time between foods that don’t combine:

1. Two hours after eating fruit2. Three hours after eating starches3. Four hours after eating protein

The following food combining chart gives a visual representation of the rules expressed above.

In nature, it is common for animals to eat simply and usually no more than one or two foods together. Man’s diet has become overstimulating and very difficult to digest, therefore most individuals’ stomachs are in a constant state of shock. (Read More: “Eating Alive” by Dr. Jonn Matsen N.D.)
