Food Combinations for Raw Food Diets

Video Transcript

"Alright now, one of the important guidelines in eating a raw live food diet is the proper combining of foods. Here, I've taken out of one of the many books that I've studied on raw live food diet, which has a great chart. The important thing about combining is here, over here, we have starches. Starch food doesn't mix at all with protein and oils. You have a poor digestion going on and this is what it's all about in a raw live food diet is ease of digestion. If you have ease of digestion, then you don't have any work going on, robbing your body of essential nutrients. So, in here we have protein, mixes real good with vegetables, but protein and oils don't mix very good with fruits. Fruits and vegetables don't mix very good together, but fruits with other fruits mix fair to good. So if you want to mix your starches and eat starches, then you would take starches with vegetables. You wouldn't eat starches with your sweets. Your starches would be grains, beans, peas, peanuts, potatoes, chic peas, squashes, foods like that. So this is pretty much the scoop on combining your foods."
