3 Shocking Myths on Proper Food Combining Revealed
There has been a lot of buzz on this new way of eating food, avoiding disease and staying in tip top shape.
You probably know already that proper food combining has long been practiced since 1911, a concept originated by Dr.
William Howard Hay (from where we get the popular "Hay Diet" - basically a branded name of the same principle).
Myth 1: Proper Food Combining is based on a certain food's taste and how it interacts with other types of food when taken together.
Most people new to this concept have given this as one of their "know-it-all" answers.
Though a little bit close to the truth, proper food combining concerns itself in eating in such a way to be in harmony with how different foods are digested by the human body.
It does have a little something to do with the taste, but that is not the main issue.
Myth 2: Pork is a no-no and should never be combined with other foods.
Definitely some people prefer not to eat pork and make a firm stand, either because of religious reasons or health concerns.
But proper food combining has nothing to do with it.
In fact, you can easily eat pork as long as you pair it with high water content foods such as fresh (non-starchy) vegetables.
Sufficient meal plans are even provided that pair pork with other varieties of foods that provide pain-free eating.
The quantity of pork that you have of course, is a different scenario altogether, especially if you have a serious health condition.
Myth 3: The typical American diet has certain food combining flaws but nothing to cause considerable alarm.
At first glance, this statement seems to be acceptable, admitting that today's diet is filled with improper food combinations.
But a closer inspection reveals that the situation is far worse than it actually is.
Think back at your last three meals of the day.
Chicken and rice? Spaghetti and meatballs? Roast beef and mashed potatoes? If you live especially in the city or even in the suburbs, chances are all your meals are improperly combined!
