Have you tries various diets but still don’t see the result you want? Try a much more efficient method – combining products. The essence of it is very simple. You have to eat so that your digestive tract would not be forced to produce both acids and alkali as these two substances neutralize each other. What happens then? The food that is in your stomach becomes one solid mass which will remain there until your body will produce another dose of enzymes.
Protein is digested in acid environment (in the stomach) and carbohydrates – in alkaline environment (in the intestines). If you eat different products at once, they can remain in the stomach up to 8 hours and in the intestines – up to 30 hours. Here are 7 tips what combinations of food you should avoid.
