Food Combining and digestion have come to my attention again. Now that many of my meals are raw fruit/veggies I "tripped" over a book on how to eat to aid digestion and of course health.
My switch to vegan diet was made for health and fitness reasons so I want to do the best I can.
The basics as I see(from 3 different books and some web info):
1) Chew completely when eating solid foods{ I even "chew" smoothies and juices}
2) eat most liquid items first - juices, soups, broths
3) Higher water content items next (leafy greens, veggies , fruit) Combos of these matter as well.
4) Eat in a peaceful manner and environment ( not in car or at desk) no TV and calm music
5) Solid foods and heavier proteins later
These make sense and I have been experimenting and so far so good. No major changes in energy but have noticed some digestive changes -feelings and elimination. Improvements.\
More trials and experiments.
A long time runner, in the football off-season and started for fun after football in the 80's.-became a vegan after a Dairy free experiment- Now I think about running, hiking, gardening and food and try to write about this way of living. Removal of dairy from diet in 2003 was successful for pain reduction and elimination of inflammation. -followed with complete removal of animal products in diet Now keeping track of thoughts , feelings and challenges.
