Experimenting with food can never be boring. Whether for nutrition or taste, foods are always up for trial runs. Pairing two or more foods together to make the meal more filling or delicious is quite common amongst the masses. However, very few know that combining certain foods can harm them and cause health problems. These combinations can lead to fatigue, bloating, discomfort and deteriorate gut health. Hence, to save you from these problems, here is a list of food combinations that you should avoid.
Milk And Citrus
Citrusy fruits coagulate milk, and combining these two can be challenging to digest. In addition, milk and citrus can cause acid reflux and heartburn.
Fish And Curd
Combining milk products and non-vegetarian protein sources impacts gut health and deterioration. In addition, the combo has proven to cause indigestion and skin issues.
Milk And Banana
Gym freaks know how beneficial both these foods are for muscle growth. However, most people know that combining these foods will lead to indigestion and make you feel heavy and cause discomfort.
Excess Protein
Combining two or more protein-rich foods is a common practice by many. However, most people feel bloated and heavy after mixing two or more proteins. In addition, consuming excess protein makes it more difficult to digest, leading to discomfort.
Fruit With Meal
We often combine fruits with our regular meals to add more nutrition and fill the feed. This is because fruits are one of the most accessible foods to be digested by our gut. However, our regular meals take more time to get digested, and by the time they do, the fruits start fermenting. Hence, eating fruits with or immediately after the meal is not advisable by most people.
We hope you’ll be careful the next time while thinking about combining the foods as mentioned earlier.
