No Mixing, Please!

There are some foods you should never combine

- Prachi Rijhwani

Food is a fundamental part of our daily lives, and what we choose to eat can have a significant impact on our health and well-being. While many of us focus on the nutritional value of individual foods, it is also essential to recognise that how we combine different foods can play a crucial role in our digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall health.

Let’s explore some foods you should never mix and why proper food combining can be beneficial.

Fruit And Protein

One of the most common foods combining mistakes is mixing fruit and protein. Fruits, especially those high in enzymes such as pineapple and papaya, are digested very quickly. Protein, on the other hand, requires more time for digestion. When you consume them together, the fruit can be held up in the stomach, potentially leading to fermentation and digestive discomfort. It’s best to enjoy fruits as a snack between meals or as part of a balanced breakfast.
