The digestive system recognizes and uses the nutrients in food when they are not too mixed together. This allows the digestive enzymes to act appropriately. Enzymes are responsible for recognizing and transforming these nutrients in assimilable substances for our body. These substances act only on favorable terms, if these changes do not perform well and there is the fermentation and putrefaction of nutrients (not being used) with subsequent poisoning of the body (since there are deposited). Each of the enzymes involved in digestion have an effect on one kind of food, a digested starch, other proteins and so on ... The capacity for action of gastric juice varies with the food consumed. The medium in which they operate is governed by the most favorable pH for this enzyme works at maximum efficiency, it is a juice acid to digest meat or protein, neutral for bread or starches. When mixing food, especially in large quantities, there is a good recognition and appropriate training of digestive juices, with consequent poor digestion and fermentation and putrefaction of food. Food mixtures produce a longer digestion. Fermentation and putrefaction of its components results in toxins being absorbed, leading to disease. Before this, they cause various digestive disorders, the most severe constipation d them. To avoid these problems are advised to make our meals as simple as possible. It is better to eat more of it to add more and more food at once. Usually rice mixed with cheese, vegetables with meat, nuts and milk, bread and vegetables, cereals with milk, eggs and cheese, fish and meat. Not so with the most easily digested food, vegetables, sprouts and fruits. As a general rule we can choose only one concentrated food at each meal, and if we add a different one, always in very small quantities. If we eat a salad and some vegetables can add potatoes or rice, cereal or any other vegetable, pasta, nuts or eggs. What about some combination? - Acid and starch: The starchy start digestion in the mouth and require an alkaline environment, contact with any acid substance blocks the action of enzymes for this chemical. Acids from the tomatoes, oranges, lemons, grapefruit, sour apples, or other sufficient to prevent a good action of the enzymes in saliva and worse if you eat vinegar, alcohol, lots of lemon. These digestions the body finds it an extra energy expenditure, the better to start digestion, more work will be relieved of the pancreas and much better digestion of starch. - Starch with proteins: the enzymes to digest proteins are in the acidic environment of the stomach, so not what is required for starch, but quite the opposite. If you eat a protein food (meat, fish, eggs and cheese, especially) with a starch (the most difficult are grains digestion), then poured gastric juice to digest protein, and because of that acid digestion starch is inhibited immediately. Examples of this mismatch are: bread, rice or potatoes with meat or fish sandwiches with cheese and bread, cereal and milk, fried eggs with bread. - Sugars Starch: Starch digestion begins in the mouth and continues in the stomach for some time. The only sugars are digested in the small intestine. When we take sugar alone, move quickly from the stomach to the intestine. If we take them with other foods, stay in the stomach for some time, until it completes the digestion of other foods. Because sugars tend to ferment very quickly in the heat and humidity conditions that exist in the stomach, that kind of wait is almost guaranteed fermentation. Jams, compotes, industrial sugar, honey, bread or cereal added to produce fermentation. The bread stuffed with raisins, dates, prunes and figs, ferments easily. Something similar occurs with proteins and sugars. Easily fermented sugar waiting to digest proteins in the stomach and also inhibit the formation of gastric juices and stomach activity. - Two different proteins: If we introduce the same meal: meat and cheese, nuts and meat or fish, eggs, fish, eggs and milk, meat and fish, cheese and nuts to ensure good and bad digestion. By mixing the protein also surpassed the need of the body. Excess protein is harmful to the body may promote blood vessel blockage and leads to highly toxic substances: urea and uric acid in different types .- Fruits: Eat fruit at one meal acidic and very sweet provoke fermentation and poor digestion because they require different digestion. For example, dried figs and oranges. - The melon and watermelon do not require digestion in the stomach when eaten alone spend a few minutes into the intestine. When ingested with other nutrients are retained in the stomach, where they ferment and gases. When we eat melon with ham, we feel bad ham and mix, no melon. - Do not eat desserts: these always eaten after meals, once you've eaten to satiety, frequently more than one really needs. These fermented, forming gases and we upset the stomach. It is best eaten alone, in the afternoon, infused with soft, ejemplo.Recordemos that live foods (fruits, vegetables and sprouts) always help us to digest the thick, like eating slowly and peacefully, so always start with raw food, sit at the table ignoring the concerns of daily life and the beginning of the meal, eat as conscious as possible, good quality food choices, eliminating unhealthy food, rest as much as possible after eating, chew and spit food properly, not eat without hunger. For those who start a healthy diet is enough at first to make a meal as simple as possible, without much food mixes, choosing a concentrated food at a time and if we choose two different, one of them sparingly. We should take the time to learn and try to just what happens to us with this. The body itself will tell us the good or bad association or combination of foods. It is how we learn. Slowly walk the path and any positive change, however small it may be, will be a valuable step on the road to health and harmony.
