Why is it dangerous to eat potatoes or pasta with tomatoes?

Potatoes are a source of large amounts of starch.

The same can be said about spaghetti, noodles, horns, feathers and other types of pasta.

And in tomatoes there is an enzyme that is the “enemy” of starch and makes it difficult to digest.

Therefore, eating tomatoes with starchy foods is a serious mistake.

This type of eating habit can increase the load on the gastrointestinal tract.

Don't want to face heaviness in the stomach and discomfort in the upper abdomen? Then stop eating potatoes and pasta with tomatoes!

Yes, this combination is delicious. But, unfortunately, it is not safe for the body.
