By following the rules of food combining, you’ll delve deeper into the relationship between diet and acne. By doing so, you will better understand your body and how food affects it.
What is food combining?
Food combining is finding foods that work well together chemically in the digestive system. The digestive system breaks down food through acid. Different foods contain different pH levels, so mixing certain foods in the same meal can cause stomach problems. Examples of different types of foods that can do this are proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Mixing these foods together can cause problems with your digestion and even cause fermentation, which can lead to problems.
To increase your digestion, you will need to follow the following rules.
- Eat only one type of protein at a meal
- Eat proteins and sugars in different meals.
- Eat carbohydrates and proteins at different meals.
- Eat melons on their own; do not mix well with different types of food
- No more desserts at 3-course meals. They only cause problems by fermentation in the digestive system.
- Eat protein and fat at different meals.
- Eating acid and starches are different foods.
Most of what is listed here are general food combining rules. Breaking these rules and mixing foods can create a chemical imbalance in your digestive system and can cause indigestion and fermentation.
By following these rules, you’ll be one step closer to understanding the relationship between diet and acne and what works for you.
