Why one time we get up from the table with a feeling of lightness and a surge of energy, and the other time we feel heaviness and drowsiness? The answer lies in food. It turns out that there are foods that are compatible with each other and their use is good for us. And there are foods that are best not mixed in one plate, as such a combination can be harmful.
Interaction of Non-Heat-Treated Foods in Prepared Meals
Remember how often you cook a summer salad of tomatoes and cucumbers? Perhaps every day? Just like most, do you think that it should be infused a little before use? But in vain, since with prolonged exposure of cucumber and tomato to each other, all useful substances, and especially vitamin C, which is contained in tomatoes, are neutralized. Thus, vitamin salad loses all its beneficial properties. From this a simple conclusion is to eat vegetables separately or not to store the salad for too long. By the way, long-term joint storage is contraindicated for other products as well. This is especially true for dishes where raw and processed ingredients are mixed, such as sushi. Rice or cheese can serve as nutrients for possible bacteria that have been in the fish. Therefore, Japanese food should be eaten immediately after preparation.
Milk
Once we have touched on the issue of seafood, it is worth debunking the notorious myth about herring with milk. In theory, such a combination does not pose a threat to life (with the exception of allergies to the ingredients) and even serves as the basis for the traditional Jewish dish forshmak. However, experts unanimously say that it is better not to mix milk with anything and use it separately from everything. This is especially true for some fruits and sour berries, such as lemon, kiwi, banana, currant.
Melon and watermelon
Melon and watermelon are also "single products" in use. It is not recommended to drink melon even with water, as it can cause intestinal upset. Watermelon, on the other hand, contains a lot of moisture, which interferes with the assimilation of other foods.
Beverages
Any food and drink are foods that are best separated. Most nutritionists recommend holding for about ten minutes before drinking to avoid dissolving stomach enzymes. Alcoholic drinks are also incompatible with some foods.
Alcohol compatibility with food
It is preferable to use it in the form of a digestif half an hour after a meal as a separate dish and do not eat it with anything.
Peanuts are also not the best companions, since the intoxicating drink destroys all the minerals in the latter.
Those who like to mix strong alcohol with soda can be disappointed, since sugar contributes to the rapid absorption of alcohol. As a result, a quick drunkenness and a severe hangover.
