The person takes food and satisfies his hunger. Food is a source of macro and micronutrients. With the correct combination of products, the endurance and stability of the body increases, which is why nutritionists advise to use uniform products in chemical composition at a time.
Basic rules of the concept of separate meals
One of the first to notice that a certain speed and difficulty of digestion is inherent in each product was the ancient Roman healer Aulus Cornelius Celsus. However, science recognized the advisability of separate nutrition only at the end of the 19th century, thanks to the works of the Russian academician I. P. Pavlova. In the twentieth century, the physician and physiologist Herbert Shelton became the most famous ideologist of the system.
While adhering to the separate consumption of food, you must remember the basic rule: any group of foods is taken separately from the rest.
The principle of taking proteins is that they are not combined with carbohydrates, since protein is digested by gastric juice, and starch is broken down by saliva. Do not combine them with fats, as fat blocks the action of the gastric glands. If you take protein with acidic foods, the acid entering the stomach will inhibit the digestion process. Proteins are not combined with each other, as well as starch with starch, because the stomach is able to assimilate only one type of a certain product at a time, putting the remaining in reserve, which as a result leads to overeating.
Carbohydrates or starches, as well as proteins, should not be combined with acidic foods. The assimilation of starchy products occurs in an alkaline environment, which is destroyed by the action of acids. The use of carbohydrates along with sugars is also prohibited, with such a meal in the stomach a fermentation process occurs, which has a negative effect on the state of the body.
Compatible and incompatible products
Protein foods are primarily eggs, poultry, fish and dairy products. Starchy foods - potatoes, cereals, bananas and dates, as well as all flour products. Foods high in fat are butter and cream.
You should definitely eat a vegetable salad with proteins; cabbage, turnips, onions, spinach, celery, fresh zucchini, green and non-starchy vegetables also go well.
Poor combination of meat and eggs with potatoes, peas or cereals. Porridge or potatoes should not be taken with bread.
Fruits are allowed along with nuts or green vegetables. At the same time, melons and watermelons are an independent dish.
Separate food is not a diet, this whole system, adhering to which, you will help your body get all the nutrients contained in foods.
