The Women Warriors

[RawMahdiyah]

Many people (mostly adults with weak digestion) are suffering from protein, calcium and many other mineral starvation beacause of bad food combination or bad food sequence at a meal.
"Bread in the morning and meat at night." (Exodus 16: 8 ). Do not mix heavy starch and heavy protein at the same meal. Bread requires alkaline, meat requires acid digestive juices. Violating this rule results in constipation, putrescence, flatulence, indigestion and eventually cell starvation. Another common error is eating honey (molasses, sugar or sweet fruit) with startchy or protein food. Starch digestion starts in the mouth. The taste buds recognize the sugar and send messages via the brain that pytalin (starch digestant) should be exluded from the saliva. Hense, starch digestion does not get started. Sugar digestion takes place in the small intestine. The sugar mixed with starch, oils, or protein remain in the stomach much longer than it would if it were eaten alone, resulting in a fermentation (starch and sugar) process producing alcohol, or in putrefaction (protein and sugar) (Dr. Shelton, Food Combining Made Easy). Combing acid fruit (tomatoes, berries, oranges, sour apples, sour grapes, lemon) with starches or protein also interferes with its digestion. Take fruit on its own. If several hours after a meal you experience tiredness, gas, burping, nausea, aching in the eyes or lower back or any other discomfort, it may indicate that you have broken some of the following rules.

Excellent:


*High-starch and Non-starch vegetables.
*High-protein and Non-starch vegetables.
*"Healthy" oils and All types of vegetables.

Poor:

*High-protein and High-starch
*High-protein and Fruit
*High-starch and Fruit

Fruit
Best eaten alone or on an empty stomach at least 30 minutes before other foods, and not for 3 hours after other meals. Usually best to start off the day with only fruits for the first few hours to break "fast" from overnight.
Melons (all kind) should always be eaten alone.
One should try to eat one kind of fruit at a time or combining them according to type of seed: stone fruit (peach, nectarine, apricot, cherry), citrus fruit, core fruit (apples, pears), dried fruit (soaked), and melons.
Fruits can further be broken down into three groups: acid fruit, sub-acid fruit, and sweet fruits (see below).
(For a more complex food combining chart see Planetary Healers Manual by Viktoras Kulvinskas pg. 267).

Fats/Oils
Plant and fish oils rich in PUFA's (Polyunsaturated fatty acids) are essential to good health. The best sources are found in fresh cold-water fish, flax, hemp, pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, and sunflower oils and seeds. Any of these combine well with vegetables. There is some issues about combining them with starches since oils slow digestion.

Note:
The majority of your diet (55-60%+) should be high water content, fresh fruit and vegetables, as these provide quick energy, body-building nutrients, and enough water, fiber and alkaline mineral salts to assist the body in cleansing and detoxification. The remaining portion of the diet (40%) should be comprimised of the concentrated foods: seeds, whole grains, nuts, beans, peas, lentils, ocean fish, drug-free poultry, low-fat live culture dairy products and optionally, lean red meats.
Drink liquids at least twenty minutes before the meal; none with the meal.
Do not mix more than four foods, from more than two classifications, at any one meal. Use ONE PROTEIN food OR ONE STARCH food per meal.
Tomatoes combine best with avocado and green vegetables.
Avocado combines best with acid fruit, sprouts and vegetables. Use in moderation.
Wheatgrass should always be taken on an empty stomach. May mix with carrot and green vegetable and sprout juices.
Seed Cheese goes well with ripe sub-acid fruit, banana, leafy greens, sprouts, or alone.




Chemisty of Foods

ACID ASH: All grains (except millet), all meat, butter, cream, eggs, cheese, animal fats, sea foods, most nuts, dry peas, dry beans, most oils, lentils, hulled sesame. (Causes mineral depletion used for neutralizing).
MUCUS-INDUCING FOODS: All acid ash foods. All dairy products. Sprouted grains, chick peas, lentils, seeds, nuts, yam. Slightly: Squash (acorn, butternut, hubbard).
ALKALINE ASH: Most dried fruits, indoor greens, all grasses, dandelion, soybean sprouts, cucumber, almond, unhulled sesame, avocado, carrot, onion, peach, plum, celery, fruit and most vegetables, olive oil, sprouts from most legumes.
ACID pH FRUIT: Currant, grapefruit, kumquat, lemon, lime, loganberry, loquat, orange, pineapple, pomegranate, strawberry, tamarind, tangerine, tangelo, tomatoe. When ripe, all fruit produces alkaline effect in the bloodstream. Overacid condition can be generated in the stomach regions, affecting your whole body from the intake of Ascorbic Acid (Vit. C), Nicotinic Acid, or any of the acidy vitamins, just as well as from eating unripe tomatoes, citrus or pinapple. Symptoms include: dizziness, fainting, pressure on the eyes, headache, burning sensation in the stomach, bleeding of the gums.
SUB ACID FRUIT: Apple, apricot, blackberry, cactus fruit, cherimoya, cherry, elderberry, gooseberry, grape, guava, huckleberry, jujube, mango, nectarine, papaya, papaw, peach, pear, perismmon, plum, kiwi, rasberry, sapodilla, sapote.
SWEET FRUIT: Banana, breadfruit, date, dried (date, apple, aprticot, banana, fig, grape, peach, pear, plum), fig, plantain.
MELON: Banana, cantaloupe, casaba, crenshaw, honeydew, persain, watermelon.
ACID FRUIT: Most berries, pineapple, and pomegranate leave the bloodstream more acid. When badly combined, or eaten in large quantity most foods can leave the body more acid.
ALKALINE FRUIT: Citrus, tomatoe, most sweet fruit and those fruit listed in sub-acid column leave the body more alkaline. Unripe, depleted soil sub-acid fruit are really acid.
SOAKED DRIED FRUIT: Such as figs, apples, apricots, peaches, dates, and pears leave the body more alkaline. However, too much or too frequent, or badly combined can cause fermentation and acidity in the bloodstream.
COLORED VEGETABLES: Beets, carrots, red cabbage, cauliflower, corn, eggplant, kohlrabi, parsnip, rutabaga, squashes, turnips, are slightly mucous inducing.
COOKED VEGETABLES: During transition to raw foods all strachy foods can be cooked. Eventually, lightly steamed or bake the vegetables listed as fruit, green or colored. To slow down a rapid cleansing reaction slightly cooked vegetables may be used. Under such circumstances, you might want to blend together some raw and some cooked vegetables.
