Which products are actually incompatible?

We know we shouldn’t combine milk with herring, but we don’t realize that many of the foods we often eat are actually harmful. We tell you which products are definitely incompatible.

Fast food and cola

Let’s leave aside the fact that this food is harmful in itself because it contains a lot of harmful carbohydrates and sugar. This also applies to combining any fatty food with soda. Let’s say lemonade with kebabs or donuts. The fact is that contact of carbonated water with carbohydrates and proteins causes fermentation. Hence diarrhea and other gastrointestinal problems.

Desserts containing protein foods

In Russia, it is customary to drink tea with something sweet after the first and second courses. Of course, such a shocking mixture is a test for the stomach. After all, meat and poultry, in principle, do not go well with cookies, desserts and jam, causing bloating and discomfort in the stomach.

Melon and dairy products

Does yogurt and melon milkshake sound like an interesting combination? Unfortunately, the melon itself has a diuretic effect, and with kefir or milk the laxative effect will come instantly.

cheese with tomato

How? Is tomato paste and cheese pizza really harmful? So, is there mozzarella in cherry tomato salads? Undoubtedly, this combination is very tasty and popular, but it has little benefit. When these products come together, they cause salt accumulation in the joints. In addition, the acids contained in tomatoes prevent the absorption of calcium, which is abundant in cheese.

Potatoes and cutlets

We admit, we are surprised too. Who hasn’t eaten cutlets with mashed potatoes? It turns out that the protein in any starchy food can cause bloating because it contains conflicting enzymes. Unfortunately, it is also undesirable to combine meat with rice, millet, baked goods and corn.

fish and rice

Bad news for sushi lovers: Rice and fish, although delicious, are not a healthy combination. Refined white rice is high in starch and simple sugars, which inhibit the absorption of vitamin D and healthy omega-3 fatty acids, which salmon and trout are especially rich in.

Porridge and milk

We have been fed milk porridge since childhood, did neither doctors nor teachers know the dangers of these products? Not exactly. The fact is that lactose is absorbed less with age, so when we combine it with sugar and starch contained in cereals, the body gets a double load. Hence the bloating. Therefore, we do not particularly recommend combining millet milk porridge with pumpkin.

cooking with milk

In advertisements you can often see how even children eat croissants, cookies and baked goods in general. True, it is not stated that these products together cause bloating, colic and a feeling of heaviness in the stomach.

bread and cheese

Cheese sandwich is a classic breakfast combination. Bread contains fast carbohydrates that cause heaviness and discomfort, along with milk fat and protein, which are abundant in cheese. The situation will be even worse if you wash down your sandwich with coffee, as most people do, because coffee inhibits the absorption of calcium, which is found in fermented dairy products, especially hard varieties.

Cottage cheese and banana

We often add fruit jam and honey to cottage cheese, so it seems natural to use bananas for the same purposes. After all, both of these products are so nutritious! However, there is a nuance that many people do not know. Cottage cheese has a high insulin index, so a person gets hungry faster. Bananas have a high glycemic index, which means that blood sugar levels rise when consumed. When combined, these foods cause weight gain because insulin converts glucose into fat when you consume excess calories (but insulin itself does not cause obesity). Additionally, when drinking large amounts of milk, insulin levels increase with age. A similar reaction is caused by other sweet fruits – dates, melons, grapes, even dried apricots and prunes. Therefore, it will be much more useful to add berries to cottage cheese – they have a much lower glycemic index and contain more pectia, antioxidants and fiber. Therefore, it is better to eat fruits separately.

Meat and legumes

Both products are of protein origin, so it is undesirable to eat them together. Meat and beans together create undue stress on the body and complicate the digestive process, causing bloating and heartburn. After such a heavy meal, you often feel sleepy, which harms your figure.

Vodka and herring

This combination can be seen quite often. And even vodka and herring rhyme perfectly. Unfortunately! Herring is a very oily fish. It is believed that the oil softens the effects of alcohol, but this is not entirely true. If you eat fish and after a while drink it with alcohol, then nothing bad will happen, but the simultaneous effect of the products will hit the pancreas hard. In addition, the salt in fish retains fluid in the body, and strong alcohol puts more pressure on the kidneys.
