You always make sure that your clothes match well together, but do you do the same with food?!
Now imagine mixing fish, yogurt, eggs, orange juice, and meat in one bowl and eating them. What a catastrophic combination that will surely make you suffer!
There are many combinations of foods that, when you put them together, they plot against you and mess up your health. A bad combination of food that may ruin your health can be as delicious a dessert or meal like surf and turf or as simple as water and a sandwich.
That is why it’s wiser to categorize fruits and vegetables instead of combining them together or with other foods and eating them. A bad food mix can lead to a number of health problems including indigestion, heart disease, high blood sugar, and diabetes.
#1 – Meat, eggs, and cheese
Avoid eating eggs, meat, and cheese in one meal. These two foods are high in protein and do you know what that does to your digestive system?
Protein contains molecules that take longer to get digested, so consuming foods that are high in protein in one meal can be taxing for your stomach.
Medical experts say that if you consume too much of high protein foods on a regular basis, it may cause you abdominal cramps, indigestion, and dehydration which may occur due to your kidneys working to remove excess protein.
If beef and cheese omelet is your favorite breakfast meal or surf and turf—combining red meat and seafood, which is also high in protein, is your thing, that’s too bad!
You may want to make a few modifications from now on by keeping these foods away from each other!
#2 – Milk and citrus fruits
Eating citrus fruits like oranges, lemons, and grapefruits together with milk is like mixing oil and water!
There is already acid in your stomach that curdles milk, but when you eat desserts that combine citrus fruits and milk, you make it difficult to digest, especially for people who have lactose intolerance which results from low levels of lactase that digests lactose in the small intestine.
