People know that food products can be useful or harmful to the body. But they forget that their combination also plays an important role. For example, many products cause much more harm to the body if consumed together.
While the right combination makes the same products useful. So what products should not be eaten together? You will be surprised to learn about some combinations.
Meat and bread
A classic combination that we have been taught since childhood. How can you eat a cutlet without bread? It turns out that not only can you, but you should.
The thing is that meat is digested very poorly and for a long time. And bread only worsens the situation, lowering the level of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and causing bile stagnation. As a result, meat takes even longer to digest.
In order for meat to bring maximum benefit, it should be eaten with products that stimulate the gallbladder, liver and gastrointestinal tract. And these are vegetables and greens. Buckwheat, millet porridge, rice can be used as a side dish.
Meat and potatoes
Another classic combination is meat and potatoes. Cutlet with mashed potatoes, meat baked with potatoes, and other delicious dishes familiar to everyone from childhood.
But the problem with potatoes is that, although they are vegetables, they contain a huge amount of refined carbohydrates. The result is the same as when eating bread - sluggish digestion, poor bile flow, weak intestinal peristalsis.
If you still can't give up potatoes or bread, then you should reduce their quantity and be sure to eat additional greens and vegetables. Salads made from beets, cabbage, carrots, radishes, turnips, horseradish, lettuce, spinach, celery, arugula, and mustard greens are good.
Dough with meat
Dumplings, pies, pies, pizza, belyashi, etc. provoke the same problems as in the cases described above.
Milk with pastries
This combination immediately takes us back to childhood, where it was good, easy, cozy, and a caring mother or grandmother poured a glass of milk and gave us a delicious-smelling airy bun or crumbly cookies.
But there are several problems with this combination.
Firstly, milk cannot cause much harm to a child, but it is often harmful to adults, since the adult body does not digest lactose.
Secondly, the combination of milk sugar with “fast” carbohydrates from white bread or baked goods causes a sharp jump in blood sugar.
Thirdly, modern milk has nothing in common with the milk that most people drank in childhood. It is pasteurized, with traces of antibiotics and other drugs that are injected into cows, preservatives are added to it, fats are extracted from it. Therefore, store-bought milk brings only harm and no benefit, unlike homemade milk.
