| Sanna 08-28-2002 05:56 AM | what fruits do not combine well regarding digestion and why? what is the reason? should they be eaten alone? can Brazil nuts and avocadoes be eaten after all kinds of fruits? can I eat fruit after having consumed fats (nuts) or is it always first sugars then fats... if so, how long should I wait before eating more fruits? |
| Wai 08-29-2002 08:22 AM | quote:Fruits can contain specific enzymes that disrupt the digestion of certain nutrients that other fruits contain in higher levels. Fruits like papaya, breadfruit, pomegranate, guava, vegetable fruits (tomato, cucumber), dates and figs, and also avocado don't combine well with other fruits. Many fruits indeed are better eaten alone, or with fruits they can be combined with. Like one can combine tomatoes with cucumber and avocado, or dates with figs, raisins and nuts. quote:Brazil nuts, yes. Avocadoes, no; try to 'listen to your taste'; it will tell you. quote:First sugars, then fats (or together) If you are planning to eat whole fruits after fat, you should wait about an hour. If you are planning to drink pressed or extracted juices, you only need to wait about half an hour. |
