Salad is a mixture of fruits, veggies, and spices that go along ..when it comes to flavor.
WRONG!!! Many other factors need to be considered when we prepare a meal or a salad.
For example, we mustn’t combine tomatoes and cucumbers in a salad because these veggies don’t have the same digestion time.
We must know that mixing vegetables at different times of digestion isn’t good because the lighter ingredient will end up passing in the intestine just as the first one is completely digested.
It is bad because it will cause food fermentation in the stomach, slow down the digestion and the fermentation of sugars and starches, and may even cause gases, swelling, and stomach pain.
Other food combinations which we should avoid making are:
1.Fruits after a meal
– fruits take a lot of time to be digested and if you eat them after a meal, you might get acid reflux and some digestive issues.
