Menus and recipes for combining food properly

Combining food properly is the key to its best use in the body. There is evidence that paying attention and combining food properly every time we eat helps digestion, assimilation and the removal process, even help fight diseases such as obesity and all its consequences, as well as liver problems, and also prevents intestinal toxemia and combat the swollen belly, gases, indigestion, stomach aches, etc.

For example, the combination of protein and carbohydrates are chemically incompatible. When you eat carbohydrates (potatoes, breads, pasta, etc.), your stomach secretes gastric juices to digest alkaline. Furthermore, when you eat protein (beans, seaweed, milk, mushrooms, etc.), your stomach secretes alkaline digestive juices. When the stomach mixes these two types of acids, prohibits and prevents their mutual functions, and digestion is unbalanced and cause imbalances of all kinds.
