The theory of separate nutrition is as follows: if you eat incompatible foods at the same time, it will be difficult to digest them. And with the correct use of food, nutrients will be oxidized in a timely manner, well absorbed by the body and will not be deposited in fat.
What is the theory of separate nutrition
According to the theory of separate nutrition, foods that contain mainly carbohydrates (cereals, bread, potatoes, etc.) are incompatible with protein foods (meat, dairy products, eggs). There is a separate neutral group, which includes vegetables, fruits, sour cream, etc. They can be eaten with foods containing proteins and foods containing carbohydrates.
In order to quickly determine the compatibility of products with separate meals, a special table has been developed. It helps you learn to eat healthy and healthy. The first column of the table is the most important, you need to pay special attention to it: it contains a list of acceptable products. The first line contains a sequential number corresponding to the number of the food item from the list. The “+” and “-” signs in the table indicate whether the products are compatible. The number "0" means that such a combination of products is only acceptable.
Food Compatibility in Separate Meals
As follows from the table, meat of all types is combined with green and non-starchy vegetables, such a combination helps the body neutralize the negative properties of animal proteins, promotes their digestion.
For eating meat, fish, poultry, be sure to be lean: remove all external fat from them before heat treatment.
Pulses, when combined with other foods, require a lot of attention. They combine with fats like starches. As a source of plant-based protein, they are good for starchy vegetables and herbs.
Good absorption of butter requires green and non-starchy vegetables, breads, cereals, and potatoes. Vegetable oil goes well with vegetables. Nutritionists recommend avoiding sugar and confectionery as they impair gastric secretion. If they are eaten with other food, they cause fermentation in the stomach, reduce its motility. Sugary foods can cause heartburn, constipation and gastritis. And if food decays, it poisons the body.
Honey in this table is not included in the category of sugars, since it enters the bloodstream within twenty minutes after consumption, without burdening the liver.
Tomatoes are categorized as sour fruits in the table because they contain high amounts of malic, oxalic and citric acids. Foods containing acids should be eaten at different times with protein and starchy foods. Any fruit is recommended to be eaten separately from other foods, since they are absorbed not in the stomach, but in the intestines. They are eaten 15-20 minutes before other foods are consumed. If used incorrectly, they begin to ferment in the stomach and lose their beneficial qualities.
