The risks of consuming processed foods are well known. It is important to know, however, that there are some combinations of otherwise useful foods that do not have a good effect on health. We should look at some of them ...
1. Fruit during or after a meal
The fruits are absorbed very quickly. When combined with cereals, meat or dried fruits, they can stay in the digestive tract too long and begin to ferment. This can lead to damage to the intestinal wall, as well as subsequent other problems.
2. Animal protein and starch products
Nutritionists claim that the simultaneous intake of animal proteins and carbohydrates can neutralize the effects of various macronutrients. Individual digestive enzymes "collide", which carries the risk of gas , discomfort and bloating.
3. Starchy carbohydrates and tomatoes
Tomatoes are acidic fruits and can cause problems when consumed with starchy carbohydrates such as rice and sweet potatoes.
This combination of foods carries the risk of indigestion , gastroesophageal reflux and other digestive problems. It can also cause fatigue .
4. Fruit and yogurt
Dairy foods can worsen the symptoms of allergies , as well as those of colds, and when consumed with fruit, this negative effect may be exacerbated.
5. Hamburger and french fries
