If you know how to correctly combine products in the cooking process, then you will never have problems with extra pounds. Do you want to lose weight? Understand these simple rules of compatibility.
Modern food is not rich in vitamins and minerals, so the right combination of foods allows many people to derive double benefits from their homemade meals. Many vitamins contained in food are absorbed into the bloodstream only under specific conditions. The whole secret is to create a favorable environment for digestion, that is, to correctly combine foods that are suitable for each other in one dish.
Use these tips to enrich your diet!
- For breakfast, it is better to drink juice, eat starchy vegetables. For lunch, choose protein foods, and for dinner, carbohydrates, such as porridge, pasta, potato casserole.
- The daily iron requirement is 15 mg, and the best source is red meat (duck, turkey, beef). But iron is assimilated only if the cooked meat is combined with apples or oranges, but such a dish is a rarity for the usual table in Russia. The meat will digest well if you drink it with orange, grapefruit, apple or pomegranate juice, as well as cranberry juice.
- Cheese and sausage are bitter enemies. American nutritionists firmly believe that meat and cheese should not be combined. The fact is that such a combination of products is absorbed by the body for a long time, since the two ingredients need different concentrations of digestive juice.
- The next unhelpful combination is starchy and protein foods, for example, stewed or fried potatoes with meat or pasta. Sandwiches with cheese, dumplings with cottage cheese, potatoes with mushrooms, croutons with eggs - as a result of eating such food, you may feel a heaviness in your stomach or tingling in your side.
- How to combine foods with proper nutrition? Meat, fish and scrambled eggs, as well as cottage cheese, are best combined with herbs or vegetables such as cabbage, cucumber, eggplant. But vegetables, starch content (potatoes, for example), are best cooked with cereals. For example, rice with zucchini, millet with pumpkin.
- What do nuts, seafood and green tea have in common? These foods contain zinc, which protects us from metabolic syndrome. Sweets, milk, yogurt and fermented milk products can interfere with the important absorption of the microelement. So do not put nuts in the casserole, pour milk into green tea, serve spaghetti with seafood. Zinc foods are best combined with foods that contain manganese. These are grapes, apples, plums, blackberries, cereals, bran.
A competent combination of food products is a whole science, the knowledge of which will result in good health for you!
