5 Harmful Food Combinations You Should Avoid

1. Fruits After a Meal

You might be thinking there is nothing wrong with having a fruit after your meals. When these fruits are combined with rice, meats or other food, they can stay in the digestive tract for a long period of time and begin to ferment. This can cause damage to the walls of your intestine amongst other problems due to the acidity level in the intestines.

2. Lemons and Cough Syrup

Lemons can block the enzymes that are required to break down statins and other drugs. A well-known cough medication is dextromethorphan, this medication can build up in your bloodstream if you fail to break down statins which will then increase unwanted side effects from the medication.

3. Cereal and milk

Some people might have been having milk and cereal for breakfast almost everyday. The reason why both cannot be eaten together is because both contain fast digesting carbs that put the body under stress. They can cause blood sugar spikes that will leave you tired when the sugar level is low again. This will result in making you crave for more junk food.

4. Tomatoes Based Pasta

Tomato Pastas are commonly found in any restaurant. However, do you know that it can cause digestion problems?  Pasta is rich in starchy carbs which can be quite difficult to digest. The tomatoes which are highly acidic cause hindrance in the digestion of starch which end up causing bloating in the stomach.

5. Banana and milk

Banana and milk is another bad food combination as it can lead to heaviness. It can also make your body and mind lethargic. If you cannot resist the milkshake, then add a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon to improve digestion.

Although the food combination mentioned above does not give you fatal problems but they are some you should try to avoid. Do you know that FoodLine provide healthy bentos which are safe to eat?
