About why you can not drink herring with milk, whether vitamins from different foods are fighting with each other and what not to eat with meat.

They say that some foods can not be eaten together. Allegedly milk with salted cucumbers leads to indigestion, fruits for dessert are harmful, and whole grain bread should be eaten separately from everything. Lists of incompatible products grow and multiply. We did not dare to try dangerous combinations on ourselves (all of a sudden we really can not) and turned to the specialist with a question.

But it is desirable, that in a plate with meat there were products rich with vitamin C, for example cabbage. Also, the assimilation of iron prevents strong tea and coffee.

How correctly to eat porridge
If we want food from the body to receive certain trace elements (zinc or iron), do not take this whole meal with whole-grain porridges that are rich in phytates that slow the absorption of nutrients.

To reduce the content of phytic acid in foods, they must be soaked (fermented). This applies to cereals, legumes, nuts. After fermentation in warm water for 10-12 hours, antiferment and phytic acid are neutralized.

How to eat vegetables and fruits correctly
There is also evidence that vitamins, which are many in vegetables and fruits, can interact with each other and with certain components of food. Therefore, it is believed that the simultaneous use of certain vitamins is undesirable, since they will prevent each other from being absorbed.

But studies that prove this fact were carried out "in vitro". As it actually happens in the body and how we can really affect this, it is still unclear.
