Could the food you eat be causing you problems?
Do you class yourself as
having a 'cast iron' digestive system? Or do you seem
to have digestive problems after eating certain foods?
Much research has been carried out on
foods and there is a belief in certain quarters that
certain foods, eaten together, could be the cause of
many potential dietary problems.
Of course, the reasons for dietary problems
can be complex, but since we are organic beings, should
we not be aware that eating foods, in any order, might
just be the cause, or at least, part cause, of any health
or dietary problems?
When you eat your food, your body has
to digest it, but have you ever stopped to think whether
different food combinations may be harder to digest
than others?
Eating a large meal can make some people
sleepy and lethargic (something a lot of us feel like
at Christmas, after the Christmas day meal!). More interestingly,
eating a smaller meal, for example, a sandwich, can
create a similar effect, especially if it contained
a protein filling. (A lazy British Earl with the surname
of Sandwich invented this ubiquitous snack. He was not
a dietician!)
This tiredness or lethargy after eating
a meal is your body 'shutting down' while it concentrates
on digesting the food (forget the Christmas alcohol
for the moment).
But what happens when we are reasonably
healthy and we eat, say a cheese sandwich or two?
For some, there may be nothing noticeable.
But there may be some people out there that wonder why
they get indigestion, or feel tired, after a reasonably
small lunch, and cannot figure out why.
More surprisingly, it has been shown
that some people's allergies show improvement when food
is eaten in a certain (correct?) order.
Why are so many babies intolerant to
milk? Milk is extremely hard to digest! You may think
that your digestive system is not affected by milk,
but are you 100% certain of this?
Some children suffer from Eczema in
their early childhood, and then find that they 'grow
out' of it. Later in life they then suffer from something
else, like asthma. Could this just be a result of food
intolerance over a long period of time?
Many people suffer from various health
problems due to their body being unable to function
as well as it should. Could part of this be due to unseen
digestive problems? Could your body be less efficient
if it has difficulty in digesting the food that it is
given? Could your health start to improve if you changed
your eating habits?
Eating a mixture of foods, that may
not be 'perfect partners', might not show an immediate
adverse effect.
Medical problems aside, do you know
whether your everyday diet is helping your body, or
hindering it? Muesli, Brown bread, Healthy salads are
all supposed to be healthy foods, but they can still
make you tired! Why is this?
Although your diet may not be one of
the 'High protein or 'High fibre' varieties, and you
might believe you have a healthy balanced diet, could
you still be eating your choice of foods in such a way
that it is making digestion difficult for you?
We are what we eat. It seems that we
may have to watch how we eat it.
