Food Combining is basically a diet that is aligned with the natural mechanism of human body functions. With such alignment, the job will be easier digestion and more efficient use of energy. Food Combining Principle is not really different with a healthy diet 4 5 perfect, just adjusted to the cycle of human digestion. Because every body functions have biological rhythms that keep her working hours and systematic cycle of 24 hours each day. The cycle is divided into three periods, namely

1. Digestion Cycle. This cycle lasts from 12:00 o’clock until 20:00 o’clock. These moments are the best time to consume solid food for eight hours because this body will be actively working to digest food.

2. Absorption Cycle. Since at 20:00 – 04:00 o’clock the body starts absorbing. Most of that has been digested food substances distributed throughout the body. At this time the body must get enough sleep and not eat again so that the body’s energy is actually used to divide the food, not to do certain activities or digesting food. Do not also forget, when this body also replaced damaged cells with new ones. If enenrgi spent too much to digest food or doing other activities, then the process of forming new cells are no longer efficient. As a result, the body becomes tired, dull skin and premature aging ensued.

3. Exile Cycles. This cycle is the last cycle, occurred between 04:00 until 12:00 o’clock. At this time most of the energy released. Therefore it would be nice if you do not eat solid food so as not wasteful of energy. Drink a glass of juice is enough in the morning. That way we have allowed the body to perform optimally disposal.

Third cycle of the above not only make you have to pay attention when eating the right time, but also the balance of acid and alkaline (pH value) of food you eat. One combination just a little, smooth digestion process the body will be disrupted.

Some examples of acid-forming foods are protein, fats and oils, dairy products, grains, peanuts, yeast food, alcohol. While the alkaline-forming foods are fruits, vegetables, potatoes boiled in their skins, raw milk, soy, sprouts, nuts (except peanuts). If the food is always well-balanced combination of the pH in your body will always be neutral.

In addition to acid-base group, foods are also divided into five food groups based on its content, that is the substance of starch, protein, vegetables, neutral group, and fruits. All of these food groups to eat together in the Food Combining pattern, except for groups of protein and starch substances should not be consumed together.

Fruit is also consumed itself in the morning because it is easy to digest and does not require a large energy. Furthermore, if it is to consume protein, it should be accompanied by vegetables to neutralize. That is why, for the followers of this diet can still enjoy a steak or chicken noodle. However, with notes, steak should be eaten without the potato and chicken noodle eaten with the chicken meat aside

Here the composition of foods matching:

1. Proteins and fats. Elements useful fat to slow digestion so that the protein had enough time to interact with stomach acid. Now, the protein itself actually contains fat, so adding more fat even dangerous because it would make the protein much longer are the Dalai stomach. So, he suggested, Eat chicken, meat or fish are grilled, baked, boiled or steamed. Likewise nuts

2. Starch and fat. Carbohydrate starches also contain protein and fat even if small. So the combination of starch and fat is okay as long as no added fat again. For example dikolak yam is a food which is not compatible because it uses the extra fat coconut milk. But if the use of fats in small amounts as a flavor for the sake, it is allowed. For example bread spiked with a little butter

3. Fats and acids. Both can you eat together, but with record levels of fat should be low. Acids, useful for dissolving fat. Medium degrading enzyme fatty acid pH needed. For example, a little lemon juice can be diluted so it is more easily digestible fat. Instead add the acid too high-fat foods actually cause the pH of the acid digestion to inhibit the digestion process. For example, after eating nuts try to eat fruits that have a sour taste.

4. Sugar and Acid. Examples of these foods with a combination of plain yogurt and honey is pure natural, pure and sweet fruit yogurt, fruit acids and fruit sweet or sweet and sour sauce

5. Starch and Starch. Even eating rice and noodles according to a matching method of food combinig enough so as not eating it but are advised in large quantities. Because the body’s ability to store starch limited. The surplus will be stored in the form of body fat.

6. Vegetable Protein Vegetable Protein with. Sangt harmonious combination that just because one type of vegetable protein. However, this combination is less complete, so should be complemented with other proteins. For example, brown rice with tempeh, rice with red bean cakes, soups with various grain

Weaknesses: Food combining would be very dangerous when applied to those who only have a mediocre body reserves, especially if you’re sick. Under these conditions, a lack of nutrients due to a merger ketidakbolehan food will be taken from tissue that should not be consumed, ie networks vital organs.
