Eating Vegetarian Food and Combining Tips

For the sake of easier digestion and avoiding digestive problems, it is best to keep the foods simple, avoid combining too many foods which creates indigestion, bloating, gas, and uneasiness.

Some people seem to be born with good digestion and appear to be able to eat anything in any combination. If you're not in that category and find yourself bloated and/or tired after eating, here are some points to consider regarding healthy eating:

- Good quality food, combined well is best for health

- Better to eat bad (poor quality food) combined well then to eat good food combined poorly!

- Cold Water freezes and contracts your digestive system and leaves you weak and tired after a meal (drink no more than 4 oz beverage with meal). Additionally, drinking water or beverage during or after meals washes down the enzymes that are needed to facilitate digestion.

- Make each meal either mostly carbohydrate, mostly protein, or just fruits.

- Avoid products containing dairy (milk, cheese, butter, sour cream), which often cause food allergies and produce mucus.
