It’s not what you eat, it’s how you eat it

by Connie Cheung

Did you know that the way you combine foods can make or break your digestion? Food combining is a powerful yet simple approach to eating that focuses on pairing foods in ways that optimize your body’s ability to digest and absorb nutrients. It’s not just what you eat—it’s how you eat it that matters. 🥬

When certain foods are combined poorly—like proteins and starches or fats with high-glycemic carbs—it can slow digestion, lead to fermentation in the gut, and cause bloating, fatigue, and inflammation. By learning the basics of food combining, you can enhance your gut health, reduce discomfort, and boost your energy levels.

Key Food Combining Principles: 🥗

  • Eat fruits alone or with leafy greens to avoid fermentation in the gut.
  • Pair proteins like chicken or fish with non-starchy vegetables for smooth digestion.
  • Avoid combining proteins with starches, such as steak with potatoes, to prevent digestive overload.
  • Focus on low-glycemic carbs like quinoa and sweet potatoes, paired with fiber-rich vegetables, to balance blood sugar and reduce inflammation.

Why It Works: Proper food combinations support your body’s natural digestive processes, minimize stress on your gut, and promote nutrient absorption. It’s a practical, sustainable way to improve your digestion and overall health.
