Every day we consume a wide variety of foods, consisting of proteins, fats, carbohydrates. And very rarely think about how best to combine them to help your own stomach. After all, different foods go through the digestive tract at different times and in different conditions.

For the cleavage of proteins requires an acidic environment, for the digestion of fats, special solvents, emulsifiers, whose role is performed by bile acids. Digestion of plant, starchy foods is helped by an alkaline environment.

The use of rapidly digesting foods (eg fruit), following slow digesting (proteins), can lead to the fact that the first, not being able to pass through the digestive tract, will begin to simply rot. Poorly digested products, entering the lower intestine, lead to increased stress on the pancreas, cause a permanent intoxication of the body. Remains of food, accumulating in the large intestine, can cause constipation and other diseases.

Similar problems will allow to avoid a separate food, which implies that you can not use badly combined products. Due to the rapid passage of compatible products through the digestive tract, the body improves metabolism, the intestine begins to function normally, the general condition improves. Particularly useful is a separate diet for gastrointestinal disorders.
