Are you sure your plate is a safe zone?
Scientists from Tufts University have found that common food combinations can cause chronic diseases.
For example, the combination of meat and potatoes, which many consider ideal, in fact blocks the absorption of protein and provokes rotting processes in the gastrointestinal tract.
Herbert Shelton , the author of the theory of separate nutrition, warned back in the 1930s: proteins and starches require different enzymes for digestion, and mixing them leads to bloating and heaviness.
Milkshakes with fruit are no less dangerous. Lactose in combination with fruit acids causes fermentation, which is confirmed by a study in the journal Nature Food .
And those popular ham and cheese sandwiches? They overload the liver with fats and preservatives, which increases the risk of atherosclerosis.
Rospotrebnadzor experts recommend replacing harmful duets with safe analogues. For example, instead of potatoes with meat - baked vegetables with fish, and milk - with fermented milk products without additives
But that's not all! An experiment conducted in 2022 by the Institute of Nutrition of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences showed that participants who gave up combining meat with starch reduced the level of inflammatory markers in the blood by 18% in 3 months.
Dr. Lisa Moskowitz , founder of NY Nutrition Group , told Healthline :
"Modern diets are overloaded with incompatible combinations. It's like filling up a Ferrari with cheap gas."
Real reviews confirm: Marina , 34, got rid of migraines after switching to separate meals, and Igor , 45, lost 8 kg in two months.
Tip: Replace potatoes in meat dishes with cauliflower. Its neutral taste does not conflict with proteins, and the fiber improves digestion.
