Fruit Should Be Separate
The matter science nutritional literature has little to say about the diet effects of food combinations but this topic has a salient place in energy science nutrition.
Here are some common examples of poor food combining using fruits with other foods that lead to "sick" GI tracts.
Fruit with yogurt
Fruit smoothies
Fresh fruit with cereal
Fruit with the main meal
Fruit with cheese are commonly done that lead to "sick" GI tracts.
Fruits are made up of simple sugars so they are digested, absorbed, assimilated quickly by the lining of the gastrointestinal tract(GI tract).
But if fruit is eaten with more complex carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, a sour indigestible "wine" is created that interferes with the digestive process. Furthermore the different rates of digestion of fruits and the more complex foods complicates the digestive impairment.
The resultant physical manifestation is that digested foods languish in the upper GI tract for 7-8 hours due to slow transit times. This produces gas, heaviness, fermentation, and alteration in bowel flora.
"There is no scientific evidence that supports food combining as a valid diet strategy," says the matter science community. To this I say, let the observer make the choice.
The energy science nutritional work is all about giving the guideline and then letting the individual find out for herself.
Why this approach? Because if we are going to wait for the matter science community to prove what was cognized 1000's of years ago by people more in tune than we are today, we will all be dead.
The simple rule is a fruit salad in the middle of the meal is not good idea but a fruit pie at the end of the meal is OK.
See you tomorrow. To health as a skill Love DrBill
