Food Combining Charts
Today, I have done some research to find a chart that better explains the whole concept of food combining. I am sharing this information to give out some healthy ideas on how to eat. This is not about doing a temporary diet. This is about creating a new, healthy way of feeding the body. It’s a lifestyle. I way to live in serenity and “out of the food.” You don’t have to do any of this, but I think it’s always good to learn about different ways to care for our bodies.
“This is an important aspect of healthy eating and proper digestion. Which of course
is of the utmost importance regarding elimination. After eating a meal it is best to
wait the appropriate amount of time for proper digestion to take place. Lets say we
finish a meal which begins with a salad and is followed by cooked vegetable and a
healthy starch such as millet, quinoa, wild rice or a baked yam, the time necessary
for this type of meal to digest would be 4-5 hours. Eating another meal within an hour
or two will thwart digestion of the previous meal. This causes fermentation. Gas and
bloating is the result when we don’t allow food to digest properly, especially when we
choose a protein for the next meal. A meal composed of cooked vegetables and a
protein such as, fish, organic chicken, or organic beef or lamb, a minimum of 6-8
hours is required for proper digestion. Following this meal with starchy foods will also
result in gas. Most of us were raised this way and ate meals composed of
protein/starch combinations including fruit for dessert. Eating three meals a day
without the knowledge of proper food combining and transit time contributes greatly
to most common discomforts and is fundemental to most organic illness.”

Oregano is a long time favorite. Mix oregano with vegetable juices, tomato juice, pizza sauce and cheese spreads. Oregano is also perfect for vegetable soups. It also works great with stuffing for fish and works great with eggs.
