The Principles of Healthy Eating-1

Why the most important rule of healthy eating advices against combining large variety of food in single meal?
When food enters the body, it undergoes several changes before it is broken down absorbed by the body, while the residue, unfit for absorption is eliminated from the system. A noteworthy feature of the digestive system is that the body suits its fluid and enzymes to the character of the food eaten. There are, however, severe limitations in this process. It is possible to suit the juices to a particular food, but not to a variety of foods taken together. It is the combining of many varieties and incompatible foods at a meal that causes 90 per cent of digestive disorders. There is a marked tendency to gastro-intestinal fermentation with certain combinations of foods. This generally means eating similar foods at one time in order to accomplish the most complete digestion.
