In Her book “Food Combining in 30 days“, bestselling author Kathryn Marsden says:
Despite advances in medical care, surgical techniques and general living conditions, full and complete good health is a rarity. Mild but persistent infections, aching joints, tiredness, indigestion, and irritating symptoms may not be life endangering but are curiously common: they are also unfortunately too often dismissed, ignored and left unattended and untreated.
But putting up with or living with discomfort and dis-ease can create more stress, more discomfort and a vicious cycle of being permanently “under par”.
Happily, the connections between low-grade health, mediocre immunity, stress, inadequate exercise and poor-quality diet are all well established. Unhappily however, when symptoms are presented to the doctor, the majority tend to prescribe drugs as a first resort rather than a vitamin tonic and diet sheet.
Although I’m a nutritionist and have tremendous faith in food as a therapeutic tool, I do not hold the view that diet is a cure-all or that food combining fixes everything: rather that its use together with other lifestyle changes often has the power to make well – in many cases without the use of unnecessary medication.”
Her basic principle is as follows:
Starches (bread, potatoes, pasta ,rice) should not be mixed with proteins, (meat, dairy such as cheese milk and milk products such as yogurt, fish etc.)
Fruit should be eaten separately from proteins and starches. Increase your intake of fruits, salads and vegetables, while reducing your intake of processed and refined foods.
In her book she shows how to use food and combine it safely for your body. She goes on to say, ” Food combining is not a temporary measure, a short-term programme, or something that one goes on and then comes off. It is a set of sound dietary principles which, once learned, can be incorporated easily into everyday use,”
Tips:
1) Get a copy of her book Food Combining in 30 days and give it a go. You may find good health at the end of it.
2) Exercise each and every day. This sets your body clock up to be able to better absorb your food.
3) Come to Get Back Health Chiropractic this week and get your spine adjusted so that your nervous system helps your food absorption.
