Best Foods to Eat Together
Eat Fruit Alone.Fruit has the highest water content of all foods and contains sugars that are ready for the body to use. It doesn't need much time to be digested in the stomach. If you have fruit with proteins or starches, the sugar will ferment in the stomach causing bloating and gas. It's best to eat fruit in the morning and allow an hour or two before eating any other kinds of food.
Do Not Combine Protein with Starch. The digestion of starches begins in the mouth with saliva. Proteins are mainly digested in the stomach. When the two food types are eaten together, the starch does not get predigested in the mouth and begins to ferment in the stomach. Another thing is that proteins require an acidic environment for digestion and the starches require an alkaline environment.They effectively cancel each other out and nothing gets digested. It just sits in the stomach causing more gas and bloating.
Eat Starches Alone or with Vegetables. Vegetables can be digested in the alkaline environment required to digest starches.
Do Not Drink with Meals. Drinking any beverage with a meal dilutes the digestive juices that are needed to break down foods and prevents them from being digested properly. The best time to drink fluids is thirty minutes before or after a meal.

Eat Protein Alone or with Vegetables. Vegetables are relatively easy to digest and can be broken down in either an acidic or alkaline environment. The enzymes in vegetables can enhance the digestion of proteins and the fiber can help move it more rapidly through the intestines.
