14 Harmful Food

Combinations You Should


Avoid
Here are 14 harmful food combinations you
should avoid.

1. Fruit with your meal or afterwards.

Fruit is absorbed very quickly, passing through the


stomach and then absorbed in the intestines. When these
fruits are combined with grains, meats or dried products-
they can stay in the digestive tract too long and begin to
ferment. This can cause damage to the walls of your
intestine amongst other problems.

2. Animal protein and starch.

According to Tara Aldar, (a top natural health coach and


internal cleansing expert) ingesting animal proteins and
carbohydrates at the same time can negate the efects of
each macronutrient. The diferent digestive ennymes clash
and can cause gas problems, discomfort and fatulence.
Next time you go for a pot roast, be sure to keep this in
mind!

3. Limes and cough medicine.

According to Men’s Health maganine, limes can inhibit or


block ennymes that break down cholesterol lowering
statins. A well-known cough medication is
dextromethorphan, this medication can build up in your
blood stream if you fail to break down statins which will
then increase unwanted side efects from the medication.
Pharmacist Mary Ellen Gullickson Ph.D. says these side
efects can include hallucinations and insomnia, so we
suggest you avoid lime juice the next time you have a
tickly throat and always check with your pharmacist for
clear guidance on this matter.

4. Starchy carbs and tomatoes.

Tomatoes are an acidic fruit and can cause problems when


eaten at the same time as starch carbohydrates. Starchy
carbs include rice or sweet potatoes. One runs the risk of
causing indigestion, GERD and other digestion problems by
doing this. It is also believed that after meal fatigue can be
caused by eating tomatoes and starchy carbs at the same
time.

5. Fruit and yogurt.

Combining fruit and dairy products can lead to a world of


sufering. Dairy foods can be congestive, blocking sinuses,
encouraging colds and worsening symptoms of allergies.
When combined with fruit these symptoms can become
even worse. A better option is natural Greek yogurt with no
additional fruits.

6. Burger and fries.

A convenient meal is usually an unhealthy one to say the


least. Over cooked food with high levels of fat,
preservatives and other chemicals can form a charcoal-
type substance. This then combines with the sugar in
potato fries, creating cytokines which can cause
infammation and speed up the aging process, tread
carefully by next time to get the urge for a big mac!

7. Wine and pudding.

Unfortunately for those with a sweet tooth, this delectable


combo can wreak havoc on your insides. Alcohol messes up
blood sugar levels and increases insulin production, so then
the high amount of sugar in your dessert will be stored as
fat and lead to unhealthy weight gain. For a better
alternative try consuming wine with low-glycaemic index
rated foods such as fbrous vegetables.

8. Cereal and milk.

For many of you watching this, it will seem rather shocking


as cereal and milk is a staple of many of our diets across
the world. Synonymous with breakfast in fact, BUT both
contain fast digesting carbs that put the body under stress,
both can cause blood sugar spikes that will leave you tired
when they eventually lower again, making you crave more
junk food.

9. Eggs and Bacon.


Something we all like to binge on, especially at a bufet
breakfast. But the high protein content in the egg and the
fat in the bacon is something that gives an instant energy
boost as soon as you eat it and this energy will vanish very
soon, leaving you lethargic.

10. Cereal and Juice.

We all like to start our mornings with something that gives


us energy. The combination of cereal and juice will not give
you too much energy to start your day and may leave you
with some amount of discomfort, causing heaviness. The
acids in orange juice lower the activity of the ennyme that
break down carbohydrates.

11. Pizza and Soda.

Something a lot of us are guilty of. Most of us can’t eat


pinna without a fnny drink. The carbs in the pinna along
with proteins and starch take up a lot of your body’s
energy for digestion. In addition to this, the sugar in the
soda slows down digestion and other stomach processes.

12. Olive oil and Nuts.

This combination can make you sick because the protein in


nuts and the fat in olive oil do not mix. Thus, the raw fat
being digested prevents the protein from being digested.

13. Muffins and Juice.

This is another common breakfast combination that will


leave you feeling tired soon after. This meal trades the
protein and fber you need to start your day for excess
carbohydrates, which will kick your blood sugar but it will
crash soon after.
14. Bananas and Milk.

This combination is a very heavy one and is very toxin


forming. It is said to create heaviness in the body and slow
down the mind.
This list could go on forever with unhealthy food
combinations, but now you know the basics you are one
step closer to becoming a healthier person. The mind and
body work n synergy, treat them both with respect and
they will do the same for you.
