Foods that should not be combined together

Combining foods incorrectly can limit nutrient absorption, cause digestive problems, and make the body feel uncomfortable.

Use fruit in meals

We often use fruit in meals to add a refreshing feeling.

However, Indian nutritionist Pooja Makhija said: “Fruits are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, but these components will be lost when digested along with the protein, carbs and fats of the main meal.”

Additionally, you may face digestive problems, says expert Nmami Agarwal.

Therefore, doctors recommend that you eat fruit as a separate snack to absorb fiber and antioxidants, satisfying hunger between main meals.

Fatty meat and cheese

According toNDTV, when consumed with cheese, fatty meats and processed meats can significantly increase the amount of saturated fat and sodium. This increases the risk of heart disease and affects people's overall health.

Therefore, expert Nmami recommends: "Choose lean meats and lower-fat cheeses to balance the meal."

Milk with citrus

Citrus fruits like oranges and tangerines contain acid. When combined with milk, the acid can cause the milk to curdle and lead to digestive problems. According toTimes of India, some people experience acid reflux, heartburn, stomach upset, allergies, chest tightness. So avoid consuming these two together.

Milk and banana

Both milk and bananas arehealthy foodBut eating them together is harmful. Dr Pritam Moon, consultant physician at Wockhardt Hospital (India), said: “The combination of milk and banana takes a long time to digest, causing a heavy stomach, and you will feel tired. Therefore, these two ingredients should be enjoyed separately.”

Iron and calcium

Iron and calcium are two important nutrients for humans. But when consumed together, your body cannot absorb both.

Foods rich in iron include shellfish such as mussels, clams, snails, spinach, liver, red meat... Foods rich in calcium include cheese, yogurt, beans, seeds, milk...

The experts added that such combinations may not be harmful to everyone or if eaten in small amounts. But you should avoid them as much as possible./.
