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
together. In under three minutes
