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.
What the noseless girl looks like nowadays
When baby Tessa from Ireland was born, she caught the attention of many. Namely, this sweet baby was born without a nose.
The anomaly was detected while Tessa’s mom was pregnant and the couple was advised to terminate the pregnancy, but neither her mom nor her dad wanted to do something like that. Since the baby was developing inside the womb, they believed there was a chance that she could have a normal life after she was born too.
Tessa’s parents were more than willing to take care of a special child.
Today, Tessa is four years old.
Over the course of the years, she has undergone plenty of surgeries that were meant to help her live a normal life, as much as that is possible.
Sadly, having no nose isn’t the only difficulty this girl faces. She’s also deaf, and recently, she went blind on one of her eyes as a result of a surgery she had undergone.
However, despite all these challenges, Tessa is a happy child. She loves her life and is happy to have such caring parents and siblings who love her endlessly.
Her mom hopes that over time, doctors would be able to ease her life even further.
Tessa, we wish you only the best life brings.
