Food combining is an effective way to regulate digestion and foster a healthy weight. Proteins and carbohydrates require different digestive enzymes to break down each type of food successfully, states Dr. Herbert M. Shelton, author of the article "The Necessity of Proper Food Combining." When proteins and carbohydrates are separated properly, the digestive system breaks down the food with ease and without unnecessary acid production. This also eliminates indigestion and other stomach ailments.
