HOW PROPER FOOD COMBINING WORKS!
1. All foods that oro oaten havo to be
brokon down Into a form of sugar.
2. Thoro are throo basic typos of foods:
proteins, carbohydrates and sugar
(fruit).
3. Proteins are the moat complex, re-
quiring tho most amount of time and
energy to digest and assimilate.
4. Sugar (fruit) Is tho least complex
(already being In the form of a sugar),
and takas the least amount of limo
and energy to dlagast and assimilate.
5. Giucose (sugar) Ia the braln'a only
food. II cannot burn protein or fat.
6. Juicy fruit (not avocados, bananas or
dried fruit) do not otey In tho stomach
to digest. They pass through the
stomach to the Intestines where they
digest.
7. Medical science and nutritionists
have erroneously classllled ALL sug-
ars, Including fruit, as carbohydrates.
Fruit may bo clasallled as a carbohy
drate, but tholr makeup Ia so enllroly
different that they MUST bo thought
of as a separate grouping.
8. In the digestive system the process to
break down proteins; carbohydrates
and fruit aro entirely dllferont, roqulr
lng dllforont aocrotlona. Therefore, to
Insure the moat efficient digestion
possible, theae three food groups
should not be consumed almullana
ously.
9. If a protein Is oaten with a carbohy-
drate, such as meat and a place of
bread or potato, tho different
.live julcos In contact with oach other
will nullify each other's effecllvonasa.
The protein will putrofy and tho car-
bohydrate will ferment. Tho result Ia
gas and flatulence In the system.
10. If a protoln Is eaten with a sugar, such
aa nuts with ralalns, the protein will
putrefy, and the sugar will ferment ..
The raaull Is gas and flatulence In tho
system.
11. If a carbohydrate Is eaten with a
sugar, ouch as a cooked grain cereal
with applo or banana, tho carbohy
drate and the sugar will both ferment.
Tho roaullls gas and llatulonco In the
system.
12. lf!lpropor food combinations In the
stomach Is not only the dlroct cause
of gas and flatulence In the system. II
Is the ONE AND ONLY cause.
13. The classification of fruit as a carbo
hydrate and the aubsoquont con
sumptlon of lrull along with protolna
and carbohydrates hae probably led
to more digestive dlfflcultlos than any
othor dietary habiL
14. If protolns and carbohydratoa are
eaten In conjunction with stoamod
vegetables and/or a salad, Instead of
In conjunction with ono anothor, tho
dlgoatlvo of tho body will be
carrlod out much mora fluently with
out the complication of gas and
flatulence.
15. If fruit Is aaten alone, II will have the
effect of washing and cleansing the
dlgoatlvo tract leaving It mora capable
of absorbing nutrition.
16. NEVER oat cooked spinach. Spinach
contains oxalic acid which asslsta In
tho potlataltlc actlona .of tho digestive
system. That Is the constant moving
motion to keep foodstuffs moving
through ft. When cooked, oxalic acid
forms acid cryatala In the kidneys and
Ita bonaflclal properties aro lost. AI
ways eat aplnai:h raw.
17. Tomatoes are an acid fruit, butln the
digestive tract they aro extramaly al
kalina, helping neutralize acid build
ups In the body. When tometoee oro
cooked, they are highly ecldformlng
and damaging to the Internal organs.
Thoy ora a prima factor In the high In
cldonca of ulcera In this country, and
thoy severely aggravata an exlellng
ulcer. If you must have cooked toms
toea, I.e., spaghetti sauce, be certain
that a large green salad Is eaten with
It to offset the damaging affects. For
tho highest laval of hoallh, tomatoes
should NEVER be eaten cooked.
18. Flulda should not be consumed along
with or after a meal bacause thoy
wash many of the digestive Juices
from the stomach. The remaining
Juices are severely diluted. This
forcas the body to sacrete mora dl
gastlve Juices lmmodlataly, unneces-
sarily usurping energy.
19. By adhering to tho rules of proper
food combining, tho digestive system
Is worked less, thereby conserving
energy that can ba utilized elsewhere
In the body. Tho lass the dlgestlvo
aystom Ia used, the longer It will hot
out.
20. Dairy products oro highly mucous
forming and difficult to digest. They
do not combine wall with anything. If
fresh, vital foods
PROPERLY. COMBINED
will promote optimum digestion
they are eaton, they should be ac-
companlad with a large green salad.
21.1mproper food combining Ia ono of
the main reasona why so many poo
pie have an oxcoas weight problem.
The anergy neceasary to break down
and eliminate tho oxcossea that cauao
overwolght, are constantly baing uaod
by the digestive system. Thera Is
simply not enough energy at thD
body's dlapoeal to corry out the func
tiona of digestion AND eliminate un-
wanted excaaooa, unless the burdens
put on tha dlgoitlve procesees are
decreased.
22. IMPORTANT NOTE: Ignore the stan-
dard height-weight charts frequently
employed to measure your weight.
They are averages based upon an Ill
lad, Ill-nourished population. They to
tally Ignore the Individual charactorla
tics of each parson. Someone 5'10"
could be 130 pounds and bo In par
feet shape, and someone also 5'10"
could bo 165 pounds and be In por
foct shape as well. The critical point
to remember Is that when you are on
a healthy, vital diet; your body will
automatically go to your most 'optl
mum body weight. Thoro Is no rea
son to think you are overweight or
underweight simply because II says
so on some vastly generalized chart.

3. Fats Inhibit the digestion of
proteins or starch. If you must

large green vegetabl!'l salad
which will offset the Inhibiting
effects upon digestion.
