Not all of the recipes in this book are perfect food
combinations, but ideal to work with until your intuition kicks in.
The idea of food combining was discovered by Dr William Howard
Hay in the early 1900s. A trained doctor who, after 16 years of
medical practice, became ill and realized that freedom from
disease lay not in relieving symptoms, but in treating the
underlying causes. My own experience has shown that better
combined meals means quicker digestion and more vitality and
energy. A reward well worth the initial energy directed to
conscious food choice.

Food

 Combining
 Summary

There are some basic rules to remember in food combining:

1. Starchy foods an sugars (carbohydrates) should not be
   eaten with proteins or acid fruits at the same meal.


2. Fruit, vegetable and salad foods should form the major
   part of the diet. Starch foods, sugars, proteins and fats are
   best eaten in small amounts with these foods.


3. Only unrefined wholegrain carbohydrates should be eaten.
   All refined products and processed foods such as polished
   rice, white flour, white sugar, hydrogenated fats, foods
   containing sweeteners, additives, preservatives should be
   eliminated.


4. A minimum of three hours must be left between food
   types.


5. A healthy balance of acid/alkaline ratio (1:2) in the body
   should be maintained.
