Consumption of animal protein also has a number of advantages; one of them would be that amino acids are stored in the body in small quantities and for a short period, and 30% of the caloric value is used for digestion and metabolism of this type of protein.
Therefore, it helps to accelerate the metabolism, burn fat, lays the foundation for the construction of muscle, connective tissue, bone and enters the composition of enzymes, protein hormones, antibodies, he explains for Ziare.com nutritionist Nela Pricop.
To enjoy all the benefits of eating animal protein (red meat, white meat, lactate, eggs, fish and fruits sea), we must know very well how and with what to combine it, so as not to do more harm than good.
Nutrition on bread with Nela Pricop: Cooking or salad oil? Sunflower oil is not for frying!
A wrong combination can lead to: blocking of essential nutrients, creating an environment for the synthesis of toxic compounds, blocking enzymes that ensure optimal digestion, promoting fat deposition, bloating, indigestion, heartburn, constipation, flatulence.
A correct combination of foods aims to enhance the assimilation of nutrients, block the assimilation of toxins, stimulate digestion and intestinal flora.
How our diet affects our health depends on the person and the style of life adopted.
There are some simple rules to keep in mind when sitting at the table. The stomach cannot process 2 or more at the same time food concentrates, for example meat and bread or meat with cheese.
So, we will always choose next to a steak – be it a pork or beef, chicken or turkey, cooked in the oven, boiled, steamed or grilled, in no case fried – a salad of green leaves, sprinkled abundantly with lemon juice, or a portion of legume with a minimum starch content.
Pork muscle or beef goes great with a salad of young spinach, arugula or valerian. If we sprinkle them with lemon juice and season them to taste, we have a real treat!
Chicken, turkey or fish digests better than meat red and goes very well in the plate with vegetables with a denser content, but not next to potatoes, pasta or rice.
The following combinations should be avoided, if we care about the health and well-being of our body:
Meat with potatoes, bread, pasta, rice, polenta – I know it’s a very tasty combination, but let’s think a little about the most important aspects and what our body undergoes. Meat needs an acidic environment for digestion, while potatoes need an alkaline environment. The potatoes will be digested first, but the whole food bowl will remain blocked until the meat is digested.
Meat with cheese, cheese, fatty cheeses or eggs – as I said in the lines above, we have 2 foods concentrated at the same meal, given that only one food concentrated at the table is recommended for good digestion. Cheese quickly affects the digestion of meat.
Fruit meat – The only fruit that is accepted after eating meat (red) would be pineapple, because it contains a certain enzyme that helps digest animal protein.
Nutrition on bread with Nela Pricop: The types of flour and what each one helps you with
Meat with oil fruits (Romanian nuts, pecans, hazelnuts, cashews, etc.) or seeds – It is contraindicated to consume animal protein with a source of fats.
Fish meat with cheese, meat, bread, pasta or rice – This combination has the same negative effects on our body.
Excessive hunger, weight gain, digestive disorders, lack of energy, bloating are symptoms of a wrong combination of foods.
If you want to lose weight, if you want a healthier lifestyle or a better tone, you need to be careful how you make friends with your food on the plate.
