FOOD COMBINING
What is it? Food combining is the use of vegetable proteins, grains, and nuts in combination to allow for the body to digest nutrients that will make a complete protein.
Our human bodies need complete proteins, and nitrogen. There are 22 Amino Acids that make proteins, 8 of them are essential for good health. Meat and dairy are not necessarily the only source of proteins! Although, the dairy and beef industry would like to convince you that these are necessary! They advertise this and donate to politicians inn order to have the backing they need to "push" the idea of their necessity.
But, not that we know that the beef and dairy industry has been using hormones in the cow's feed, and genetically modified grains are also used, lets now take another look! Is meat the main source to look to for protein? NO.
Did you know that grains, vegetables, nuts, and legumes (beans) have proteins? They also contain many vitamins our bodies need, as well! Do we need to supplement these in our diet, in order to get the 8 essential Amino Acids? No.
Ancient cultures knew instinctively what foods to eat to have inexpensive and yet tasty, nutritious diets. The Mayan meal of beans, rice, tomatoes, and bits of chili contains everything necessary for all 8 essential Amino Acids and vitamins from the vegetables.
I will discuss next Friday how this all works....
