Guidelines to Aid Digestion

  • Fruits should be eaten alone, unless blended.
  • Drink vegetable or fruit juices at least 30 minutes before a meal, consume the food that digests the quickest first.
  • Eat only one concentrated protein food or starch at a meal. Avoid eating protein and starch together. Here we have: meat and potatoes, fish and rice, tuna sandwich, pizza, milk and cereal. But this is the American way you say, yes, and look at our health records.
  • Great Combinations - taken from The Lover's Diet:
  • Protein, leafy greens
  • Vegetables and starch
  • Raw oil, or avocado, and greens
  • Raw oil, or avocado, and fruit
  • Starch with raw oil or avocado
  • Avoid drinking liquids that are too cold (right out of the refrigerator) or too hot (close to the boiling point). This is stressful to the digestive system, and uses unnecessary enzymes.
