This document lists 14 harmful food combinations to avoid. Some of the combinations listed include fruit with meals as fruit is quickly digested while other foods linger, causing fermentation; animal proteins and starches as their digestive enzymes clash and cause issues; and limes and cough medicine as limes can inhibit enzymes that break down cholesterol medications and increase side effects. Other combinations that can cause problems include starchy carbs and tomatoes due to acidity; cereal and milk due to fast digesting carbs; and olive oil and nuts as their protein and fat do not mix well during digestion. In general, the combinations listed should be avoided to prevent issues like indigestion, fatigue, and inflammation.

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.
