We want you to understand, friends, that nothing happens by chance. Every action, every phenomenon is influenced by good or evil. The problem is that we forget that we are at war. There is a spiritual war raging around us and our adversary the devil, like a roaring lion, seeks whom he wants to destroy. He has used many weapons of mass destruction. One in particular has been very successful in destroying the mind, body, spirit and that is the food mix.
Many are falling under the sting of this vicious deception, believing that we can put together anything as long as it is good for us and we will be fine. Bad, bad, bad, very bad. We have become too sophisticated as a people and that is one of our downfalls. We need to return to primitive piety and simplicity. The following subtopics will explain how d is hindering mental, physical, and spiritual development through improper food combining.
Proteins and Starches (Meat and Rice)
Any chemistry student will tell you that alkaline neutralizes acid. Alkaline is the enzyme that is used to digest starch/carbohydrates. Pepsin is the enzyme used to digest proteins. When we consume protein and starch in the same meal, the body detects both food groups and excretes the appropriate enzyme to digest each group. Consequently, digestion is hampered because the excretion of alkalis neutralizes the digestive acids.
Starch/carbohydrate is digested in 2 hours. Protein usually takes about 3 hours. When the two are combined, the digestive process is slowed down, so the food putrefies in the stomach, then is discarded in the large intestine after about ten hours. Consequently, we develop ulcers, indigestion and chronic pain in the abdomen. It also follows a spot of diseases.
Just to list a few bad combinations: burgers, mac and cheese, cheese pizzas, sandwiches, hot dogs, fries or rice and meat. Consult nature!! Have you ever seen any animal in nature gathering meat, fruits and vegetables before sitting down to eat?
fruit and food
The content of the fruits is mainly liquid so it is digested very quickly. Fruit sugars are quickly absorbed into the body, while the foods we eat (whether starch or protein) require digestion in the mouth and stomach. If the sugars in the fruit are retained in the stomach while digestion of the food continues, the fruit will rot in a short time. Fermentation takes place creating alcohol in the body. This alcohol passes into the bloodstream, and the blood feeds our organs, including the brain. The auction is coming…
Dr. Melvin Knisely of the University of South Carolina has done extensive research on the effects of alcohol on the brain. Alcohol destroys the oxygen cells in the blood that feed the brain. The brain cells that are destroyed are those of the forebrain, and those cells are responsible for consciousness, reasoning, and judgment. God communicates with us through our minds. We understand and learn through our brain. If it is numbered and deteriorated, we are exposed to the manipulations of the devil. At that moment he uses his greatest disappointments to trap the man.
Thus, it has succeeded in preventing man from connecting with God spiritually and also hampers mental development by employing poor food combination. The Lord is trying to wake some of us up with these facts, but will we surrender the passion, taste, and tendencies cultivated under the control of the Holy Spirit? We pray that every man will accept the truth when it is presented to him for the salvation of his soul.
Fruits and vegetables
An easy way to remember this rule is that fruits are cleansers and vegetables are builders. There is no way you can build and clean at the same time. Vegetables are considered simple starchy and digestion is also slowed down when combined with fruits.
melons
Melons do not combine with any other food. It does not combine with fruits, vegetables, starches or proteins. We can eat them alone or leave them alone. Melons got the name watermelons for the simple fact that they are made of liquid. Digestion of melons is almost immediate. They don’t spend much time in the system, they are absorbed by the body. Some fruits, like bananas, take about an hour to digest. Therefore, the melon would rot before being digested if combined with bananas or any other food.
If you leave a piece of watermelon out for ten minutes during the day, it will rot. Likewise, the temperature in our body will have the same effect on it. Once again, fermentation takes place creating alcohol in our blood stream. We pray that our readers will accept and live these principles for good health.
Certain foods, if mixed in the digestive system, will cause problems with the body’s digestive chemistry. Your body digests different foods in different ways. Starchy foods require an alkaline digestive milieu that is initially supplied to the mouth by the enzyme ptyalin. Protein foods require an acid medium for digestion, hydrochloric acid. Acids and alkalis neutralize each other, so if you eat a starch with a protein, digestion is impaired or stops altogether! The undigested food mass can cause various types of digestive disorders. Undigested food becomes soil for bacteria that ferment and break it down. Its poisonous byproducts include alcohol, a narcotic that destroys or inhibits nerve function. It wreaks havoc on the nerves of the digestive tract, shutting down their vital action in such a way that constipation can result.
