There are a number of products that are not compatible with each other. With their simultaneous use, a person will certainly be faced with such digestive problems as flatulence, nausea, changes in stool, pain in the abdomen, a feeling of fatigue and a decrease in tolerance to stress. With frequent use of such food, diseases of the digestive system and other systems can develop.

In this article, we will provide you with the opinion of nutritionists on the top 10 most harmful food combinations. With this information, you can avoid the harmful effects of food on your body, normalize your health and prevent many diseases.

Danger # 1 - starchy carbohydrates and meat

The traditions of the cuisines of the Slavic peoples have long fixed in our minds such dishes as potatoes, porridge or vegetables with meat. However, this combination of foods is highly undesirable for our body.

Once in the stomach, starchy foods begin to ferment, and protein (i.e. meat) foods succumb to decay processes. As a result of these interactions, there is excess gas formation that causes bloating. And after taking such dishes, a feeling of discomfort appears, and in some cases - colic, provoked by too rapid passage of food through the digestive tract.

Starchy carbohydrates include foods such as boiled cereals (cereals), potatoes, and various vegetables. They can be most or moderately starchy depending on the species.

The most starchy nutritionists include the following foods:

  • corn;
  • squash and squash;
  • beet;
  • swede;
  • potatoes;
  • carrot;
  • dry beans (except soybeans);
  • chestnuts;
  • pumpkin;
  • radish and radish;
  • Jerusalem artichoke;
  • roots of herbs (parsley, parsnip, horseradish, celery).

Nutritionists include the following foods as moderately starchy:

  • eggplant;
  • soybeans (sprouts and beans);
  • turnip.

Non-starchy nutritionists include the following foods:

  • broccoli;
  • mustard;
  • green pea;
  • kohlrabi;
  • cabbage (red cabbage, white cabbage, savoy cabbage);
  • watercress;
  • asparagus;
  • lettuce;
  • tops of root crops;
  • cucumber;
  • Bell pepper;
  • celery greens;
  • parsley and other table herbs;
  • sorrel;
  • spinach;
  • garlic;
  • chicory.

Tomatoes, selected by nutritionists in a separate row, do not contain starch. These berries contain acid that does not go well with starchy foods and dishes.

Danger # 2 - green tea with milk

Any dairy products are not compatible with green tea. Milk components can deactivate the beneficial properties, aroma and taste of this drink. Tea contains theaflamine, which interacts with milk protein and forms compounds that are difficult for the body to absorb.

In the course of research, German scientists have found that a group of proteins and caseins found in milk helps to reduce the concentration of green tea kakhetins, which have a positive effect on the heart. Considering all the data on the combination of these products, it was found that the leveling of the beneficial properties of tea with dairy products leads to the absence of a positive effect on the cardiovascular system.

Danger # 3 - fruits with any food

Fruit should preferably be consumed in between meals.

Fruits are quickly digested in the stomach, and their combination with other types of food can lead to their retention in the stomach, since they interact with food and cause fermentation. Such processes lead to a negative effect of the food lump on the walls of the digestive tract.

Observing a simple rule for the separate use of fruits and other food, you can prevent the development of such consequences:

  • gastritis;
  • indigestion;
  • put on weight;
  • feeling of heaviness in the stomach;
  • nutritional deficiencies.

In addition, nutritionists recommend not mixing sweet and sour fruits at the same time. This is due to the fact that many fruits also contain starch, which, under the influence of acid, causes indigestion.

Danger # 4 - Fruit and Yogurt

You can find many types of yogurt on the shelves of shops, which include fruits. In some cases, the composition of such fermented milk products does not include natural fruits and berries, but their synthetic flavors that can cause significant harm to the body. Any fruit yoghurts sold in stores are tasty and appealing in their packaging, but they are not recommended by all nutritionists.

Experts do not recommend introducing into your diet such a combination of products as yogurt and fruits or berries in any form: as part of various recipes
