While all natural fruits and vegetables are healthy for you, did you know that some should never be combined? Cucumbers and tomatoes, for instance.
Tomatoes and cucumbers are very healthful. They are abundant in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and water. But you shouldn’t eat them together! When preparing a salad, Ayurveda says it’s critical to know how long each component takes to digest.
Vegetables with varying rates of digestion can be difficult to combine. Food fermentation may occur in your stomach if the lighter ingredient passes through your intestines at the same time as the other begins to digest. Toxins, sluggish digestion, and starch and sugar fermentation may arise from this. This will ruin your food and increase your risk of stomach pain, bloating, and gas.
Other than cucumbers and tomatoes, there are other combinations of foods to be careful with. Here are few to keep in mind:
Fruits after eating: Fruits take longer to digest and if they are left in the stomach for an extended period of time, they can cause acid reflux and other digestive problems.
Cheese and meat: Limit the amount of protein in your meal. No more than one kind per meal.
Even though it’s a common combination, macaroni and cheese (or macaroni and meat) might create stomach problems since carbs and proteins breakdown at different rates.
Cheese and vegetables together can make you more prone to bloating.
Orange juice might damage the enzyme required to break down carbohydrates, so avoid eating bread or noodles with it.
Watermelon and melons should be consumed on their own; do not mix them with other fruits.
Milk and bananas together can cause digestive delays.
Yogurt and fruits are a popular breakfast combination, but they can alter your gut flora and slow down digestion.
Viral Photos Capture Father’s Hilarious Reaction to Partner Giving Birth
“Who says fathers have it easy during childbirth? Recent viral images of a couple welcoming their third child reveal that fathers can be deeply worried and often astounded by the delivery process.
In the past, fathers were barred from entering the delivery room, left to wait outside and hope for the best for both mother and child. Nowadays, dads are expected to witness the entire delivery, sometimes resulting in amusing reactions, as seen with Amanda Renee and her partner Brett Sillis.
The couple’s delivery room photos have touched many, not only because they welcomed their third baby, but also due to Brett’s priceless facial expressions.
While Brett’s reactions might seem like he is repulsed by the birthing process, Amanda assures he wasn’t. She didn’t notice her husband’s expressions during the overwhelming experience of childbirth. It wasn’t until they reviewed the photos later that they realized how funny Brett’s expressions were.
“We didn’t even look at them until I got back into the room, and I was like, ‘I have to post these,’” Amanda shared.
Now, the happy couple and their baby girl are home, enjoying time together and laughing at Brett’s delivery room expressions.
The photos resonated with many, especially men who related to Brett’s reactions, garnering over 6,000 shares.
“Dawg, this was me,” wrote one father.
“And this is exactly why when my husband wanted to ‘watch,’ I clamped my knees together and told him if he didn’t get up by my head, I wasn’t going to push!” shared one mother.
“Lol! I believe all men make these faces. My spouse could only look at my face after we delivered our baby six weeks ago. My labor lasted 15 minutes, and my doula had to tap him to get him to look at the baby because he was afraid he’d pass out from all the ‘stuff’ coming out. ‘Congratulations, mama!’” commented another.
Congratulations to the happy couple on their new family member!”
