Which foods shouldn't be eaten

0:36

together? Thanks

0:38

for asking. Avoiding

0:42

weight gain is just so difficult

0:44

sometimes, isn't it? It's not enough

0:46

to eat only healthy foods. You

0:48

also have to combine those healthy

0:50

foods in the right way. That's

0:52

because when we eat different types

0:54

of foods together, they interact with

0:56

each other in our digestive system.

0:58

Depending on their characteristics, some foods

1:00

get digested faster than others. What

1:03

can happen to our bodies if we

1:05

combine the wrong foods? In

1:08

a situation where some parts of your

1:10

meal are digested quickly but other parts

1:12

remain undigested for a longer period of

1:15

time, there can be unpleasant side effects.

1:18

These include gas, bloating,

1:20

indigestion, heartburn, acid reflux,

1:23

nutrient deficiency and inflammation.

1:26

Experts say that children are better

1:28

able to tolerate different food combinations

1:31

because they have optimal hormonal and

1:33

digestive secretions. But as we reach

1:35

adulthood, those secretions start to diminish.

1:38

Our internal biochemistry means

1:40

that digesting contradictory foods

1:42

becomes more difficult. The

1:45

possible effects include poorer absorption

1:47

of proteins, vitamins, minerals and

1:49

antioxidants by the body, leading

1:51

to fatigue. Which are

1:53

the worst combinations then? Now,

1:56

let's get into the nitty -gritty of

1:58

food combinations. Note that while

2:00

these food pairings may not be easy to

2:02

digest, they're not dangerous

2:04

as such. One classic culinary

2:07

faux pas is pairing tomatoes

2:09

with cucumbers. Surprisingly,

2:11

this seemingly healthy duo can lead

2:13

to digestive issues. That's because the

2:15

two vegetables have different digestion times.

2:18

Cucumbers which are 90 % water

2:20

are eliminated from the body quickly,

2:22

which isn't the case with tomatoes.

2:26

What's more, tomatoes contain seeds, which

2:28

may be problematic for those with

2:30

a sensitive digestive system. Potatoes

2:33

and meat, a staple in many

2:35

diets, can also be a bad

2:37

combination. Potatoes are starchy while

2:39

meat is filled with protein. Both

2:42

starches and protein need a lot

2:44

of work from the digestive system.

2:46

but they're not digested in the

2:48

same way. When you consume them

2:50

together, they tend to get stuck

2:52

in the stomach, which can lead

2:54

to problems like heartburn and gas.

2:56

Additionally, cheese and bread, though a

2:58

beloved combo in many sandwiches, can

3:00

lead to a calorie overload. This

3:03

carb -heavy duo, when consumed in

3:05

excess, may contribute to weight

3:07

gain and bloating. As a

3:09

general rule, combining two foods which are

3:12

heavy to digest isn't the best idea.

3:15

drinks you shouldn't combine. Drinking

3:18

coffee with milk is a common

3:20

practice, but there are reasons to

3:22

be mindful of this pairing. The

3:24

primary concern is that the calcium

3:27

in milk can interfere with the

3:29

absorption of certain compounds in coffee,

3:31

like antioxidants and polyphenols. These compounds

3:33

have potential health benefits, such as

3:36

reducing the risk of chronic diseases.

3:38

However, when milk binds to them, their

3:41

absorption can be hindered. So you may

3:43

want to stick to black coffee to

3:45

enjoy its full benefits. There

3:48

you have it. Now

3:50

3:52
