Summary

247: Have you ever wondered if the foods you’re eating are secretly plotting against you? Okay, maybe not secretly, but when it comes to food combining, some people believe that certain combos could cause chaos in your digestive system. We’re talking about things like steak and potatoes, dairy and seafood, or even melons with anything at all. These food combos have been labeled “bad,” but is there any truth to these claims, or are we just overthinking it? In today’s episode I’m diving deep into the ancient (and still popular) world of food combining. We’ll break down what’s real, what’s wacky, and what might actually help (spoiler: some of these rules actually make sense). Is the idea of eating fruit alone really the key to good digestion? Or is it just a recipe for a very lonely snack? We’ll explore the science, the myths, and the occasional stomach ache, all while figuring out what works for YOU. Topics Discussed: What food combining actually means and where it came from Common “bad” combos like steak and potatoes, dairy with seafood, and melons with anything The science behind digestion and why some combos might cause discomfort The case for eating fruit alone How food combining might improve digestion for some people Real-life tips for balancing your meals without stressing over every bite Myths debunked and practical takeaways for everyday eating As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at [email protected].

0:00.0	I'm not sure if you guys have heard of food combining, but it's a philosophy of eating that has
0:08.9	ancient roots, yet still is practiced today. Those that support a food combining diet do believe
0:15.8	that improper food combinations can lead to diseases, toxin buildup, and digestive issues. They also believe
0:23.4	that proper combinations can actually help relieve these problems. But is there any truth to these
0:30.6	claims? Today, we are going to take a closer look and look at the research to determine whether food combining is effective.
0:40.0	You're listening to The Digest This Podcast, and I'm your host, Bethany Cameron.

1:23.6	So obviously you want the highest MGO possible.
