General Guidelines for Healthy Digestion

Automatically translated from Romanian. See the Romanian original

A set of general tips on the correct combination of foods (fruits, water, coffee) for better digestion, rather than a recipe in the traditional sense.

Ingredients

Method

  1. After breakfast, lunch, or dinner, do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours.

  2. Do not drink water during a meal or immediately after; drink water only 30-60 minutes after the meal, and make sure to drink at least 2 liters of water throughout the 24 hours.

  3. Always eat fruits on an empty stomach, because in the presence of meat, potatoes, or starch, they ferment in the stomach.

  4. When making fruit salad, be careful not to mix dried or sweet fruits with acidic ones (oranges, kiwi, etc.).

  5. Drink coffee without milk, sweetened with a little brown sugar or natural honey, and accompany it with a glass of water because coffee is dehydrating.

  6. To benefit from the metabolic effect of caffeine, drink the coffee plain and black, without sugar, whipped cream, or other sweet or fatty additives.

  7. Try to ensure that 40% of your food intake is cooked and 60% is raw.

  8. Eat slowly, setting aside time for your meal.

The story behind this recipe

There are some food combinations that are very harmful to the body. If we manage to follow these few rules, we will certainly no longer feel tired after a meal or even hungry shortly after serving it.

Some simple rules that should be followed:

After breakfast, lunch, or dinner, do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours.

Do not drink water during a meal or immediately after a meal. Drink water only 30-60 minutes after the meal, because water drunk during a meal hinders digestion, and over the course of 24 hours, drink at least 2 liters of water.

Fruits and vegetables are the healthiest things for the body. They really are! But it matters a lot how we eat them.

We must always eat fruits on an empty stomach!

The reason is that fruits are not digested in the stomach, but in the large intestine. Fruits pass quickly through the stomach and reach the intestine, where they release their juices. But if there is meat, potatoes, or starch in the stomach, the fruits get trapped there and begin to ferment.

If you have eaten a fruit as dessert after dinner and spend the rest of the night with a heavy stomach and an unpleasant taste in your mouth, it is because you did not eat correctly.

Fruit salad - take care not to mix dried or sweet fruits with acidic ones (oranges, kiwi, etc.);

Coffee should be drunk without milk, preferably sweetened with a little brown sugar or natural honey. This is because the effect of caffeine is neutralized by the casein in milk. Since coffee dehydrates, it is good to consume it together with a glass of water.

It stimulates the metabolism. Due to its vitamin B3 content, coffee intensifies the burning of calories that come from fats. In addition, it is low in proteins and sugars. For this, however, you must drink it plain and black, without sugar, whipped cream, or other sweet or fatty additives.

It is recommended that 40% of what we eat should be cooked and 60% raw.

Eat slowly! Reserve time for this, because it is not time wasted!!!!!
