Since childhood, parents have always been scared that it is better not to combine herring and light-salted cucumbers with milk - diarrhea is almost guaranteed.
For many decades, our ancestors have been observant and noted which products in combination with each other can give unpleasant symptoms.
But not all harmful combinations appear so clearly in the form of indigestion. In fact, you may not even feel the negative effect, but your body will know about it when it doesn’t receive any vitamins and minerals.
For example, some useful substances in one product can concurrently block important components in another, and then this combination can be considered destructive.
How to avoid mistakes in making a rational menu? Just avoid combining the following pairs of foods in one meal.
10. Tomato and cheese sauce with pasta
Immediately imagined fragrant spaghetti with meatballs, sprinkled with tomato sauce and sprinkled with grated, slightly melted cheese.
Unfortunately, such a combination is unlikely to give you health and vitality. For example, acidic vegetables like tomatoes are not compatible with carbohydrate foods. The latter react with organic acids, which causes our gastrointestinal tract to work for wear.
Do not be surprised if, after a few hours after such a snack, calmed gastritis will remind you of yourself or unpleasant heartburn will appear.
In combination with cheese, the dish is digested for a very long time, taking the valuable energy of the body. As a result, you feel lethargic and unproductive.
9. Beans with cheese
Many people like the combination of this bean product with cheese and garlic in a nutritious salad. Yes, the taste of the dish is without a doubt spicy and original, but the consequences are completely unexpected.
Increased gas production, severe bloating and colic are not the best "satellites" of a busy working day. And the gases will not take long to wait after such a shock combination.
Cheese for a powerful vegetable protein is not the best company, so you should not combine them at least at the beginning of the day.
8. Nuts with dried fruits
Few people have not heard about dietary recommendations: if you want something sweet, eat a handful of nuts and dried fruits. Also, this mixture is abundantly added to various granola and instant oatmeal, porridge for weight loss, yogurt with toppings.
As it turned out, in this combination, the products lose some of their beneficial properties. So, phytic acid, which is abundant in nuts, can trap and remove other beneficial trace elements from the body, such as calcium, iron, magnesium and zinc.
Therefore, it is better not to combine any nuts with dried fruits such as prunes, raisins, dried apricots and dried berries. Better distribute these ingredients into 2 separate dietary snacks.
7. Honey in hot drinks
Everyone who is not lazy has heard about the recommendation not to pour tea with boiling water, but few can give an argument why this should not be done.
In fact, honey under the influence of high temperatures begins to melt with the release of toxic substances produced by the bee organism. The latter accumulate in the cells and overload the liver, which is forced to remove them intensely.
Especially such "strains" are irrelevant during a period of illness, when the whole body is exhausted and throws forces to fight pathogens.
A pun, because it is during illnesses that people strive to prepare useful decoctions and teas with the addition of honey. Better eat a couple of tablespoons of honey on an empty stomach - there will be much more benefit.
6. Jam with cottage cheese, yogurt
Cottage cheese and yogurt in their natural manifestation are not sweet and tasty enough, that's why we constantly strive to flavor them with condensed milk, toppings, syrups, jams or just sugar.
Various sweet jams are starchy and carbohydrate foods that go poorly with pure organic proteins.
As a result, dessert starts the processes of fermentation and decay in the body, the release of metabolites, the decomposition of other foods eaten.
5. Green tea with milk
They say that the British know a lot about tea drinking. However, the Japanese are much more versed in this matter - they certainly will not spoil the organic aromatic drink with various additives like sugar or milk.
Only abroad can appreciate this rather strange combination. Moreover, fatty milk or cream, which is added to the decoction of tea leaves, dramatically reduces the amount of catechins, antioxidants and other healthy substances in it.
Hmm, interesting, but due to what is achieved the effect of losing weight in this case? Maybe this combination also acts as a laxative?
4. Ice cream with soda
Especially strange combination, which, nevertheless, the children are quite successful. How typical is it to eat a sweet ice cream, and then remove the thirst that has arisen with harmful Coca-Cola or Tarhun, which a caring mother acquired for her child.
As a result, the stomach is "shocked" by a combination of incongruous. The mixing of chemical processes will result in bloating and heaviness, belching, pain and heartburn. Drink ice cream with plain water - it never hurts.
3. Bananas with milk
Lovers of protein shakes for muscle mass should choose a different recipe.
Milk with bananas does not combine well - discomfort and heaviness appear in the stomach, the process of decay and fermentation begins.
According to Ayurveda, the combination of these products is one of the most unfavorable, it affects mental activity and digestion badly.
2. Kiwi with dairy products
Sour foods - various citruses, berries, as well as the well-known kiwi, which they love to add to smoothies and yogurts, do not combine with milk.
Tropical fruit contains enzymes that accelerate the breakdown of milk protein. As a result, the cooked dish gains bitterness, and also loses useful properties.
Kiwi with milk can also cause dysbiosis, allergic processes, diarrhea.
1. Melon with anything
Continuing the theme with fruit, we note that they are always better to eat separately from other products in the form of dessert. Any combination of anyway harm our body.
This is especially true for gourds and, in particular, melons. This heavy product is very nutritious and tasty in itself, but in combination with others it lumps in the stomach, complicating the digestion process, causing heaviness and pain, discomfort.
The right combination of products will allow you to get the maximum positive effect from them without unpleasant consequences for digestion.
