3 Common and Unhealthy Food Combinations That You Should Avoid If You Have GERD (Acid Reflux)
Many people would want to know how to naturally cure their GERD, acid reflux, or any digestive disorder they have.
They may have been tired of taking the same medicines prescribed by their doctor again and again, and have not achieved significant results.
This is why many are now looking for alternative means to relieve and if possible cure their condition.
One of the ways is to practice proper food combining in order to bring your digestive system to heal and repair itself from one's past mistakes -- one's unhealthy eating habits.
There are actually many common and unhealthy food combinations that you should avoid, but 3 of these stand out, and these are usually the typical diet of most individuals: 1.
Hamburger and Fries -- You read that right.
Knowing this truth might cost the regular fast food restaurants around your area a lot of profits, but your health is the issue here.
We all know how juicy a hamburger is and how good it is to go with fries.
However, the basic problem here is that one is a protein and the other a starch, and these two should never be combined with any meal at any given time.
If you are suffering from GERD, acid reflux or any stomach ailment, think about the time when you were regularly taking your doctor's medication and still feeling the same lame results.
Could it be that you just couldn't resist this type of food? 2.
Spaghetti and Meatballs -- Aaah yes.
I won't be having any hamburger and fries, so I'll just go for my second best favorite, spaghetti and meatballs! Surely that won't be any problem right? Unfortunately, the same can be said for this delectable food combination.
Spaghetti is mostly made up of starch (and sometimes the sauce itself can aggravate your GERD or acid reflux), and meatballs are a concentrated type of protein.
It's hard to admit but these two are not just compatible for each other, although I know, they admittedly taste good together.
3.
Eggs and Toast -- For those of you who like to have this as one of your meal combinations every breakfast time, think again.
You're better off starting out the day with a choice of your favorite fruits (alone) than thinking that eggs and toast would give you that much needed boost of energy you need to get going.
Again, one is a protein and the other a starch.
All three food combinations are just that tasty and some are even mouth-watering.
You may even be caught up in the habit of making any or all of these three a regular diet.
But the fact remains, they are a recipe for digestive disaster.
