March 27, 2009 02:29Eating habits and healthStudies have shown that our eating habits affect our health. For instance, eating bad quality food (junk food) is not healthy. Consuming too much of something is not healthy either. A balanced diet of good quality food on the other hand is healthy. Finally during the day we should not eat in the same manner. For example it is unhealthy to eat a little in the mourning and a lot at night. Basically it matters what someone eats how much what else and when. There is something else - quite important in my opinion - that is important; what do we eat with what. I was reading an article about how soy milk (due to phytic asid) absorbs certain minerals, including magnesium, calcium, iron and zinc. So basically soy milk is better when consumed some time after digestion. My question is, which products should be avoided together and which are healthy combined...? Edit: I just remembered one time I had a glass of milk and moments later I had a glass of orange juice. Those too surely do not go together |

Hi John,
interesting that you say that milk and orange juice do not go together - I agree - why do you think that is?
I would think that the acidity in the juice would curdle the milk. However, they do seem to be able to make orange yogurt and orange pineapple ice cream.
:cheer: yes, you are right... and it sounds like those two statements don't go together, doesn't it? What do you think is going on? Can you see a difference between drinking fresh milk and fresh orange juice, and eating orange flavoured yoghurt?
I assume that the orange flavoring that is added is much less acidic than the fresh orange juice. Is that correct?
Hmmm... Interesting question(s)!
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but, firstly, as for the acidity of orange decreasing after some time, it's due to the fact that oranges (like almost every fruit) contain vitamin-C, also known as "ascorbic acid". This vitamin gradually "vanishes" when exposed to air. (Haven't you heard that your orange juice becomes less nutritious when you wait before you drink it? It's because vitamin C chooses to leave your glass to go with the wind! B) just joking :side: ). As a result, the juice becomes less acidic as the time passes. I guess that's why drinking milk is "more painful" (!) when followed by a fresh orange juice, which contains all of this acid! :dry:
Anyway, there's something else I've heard of. When you drink hot milk (e.g when you're sick or something) it's suggested that you don't drink (or eat) something acidic right after that. I don't know exactly why and how it happens, but when milk is in a high temperature and is exposed to an acidic environment,it emits a substance (actually a phosphoprotein) called casein. If you'd like try mixing hot milk and vinegar in a bowl and you'll see how this protein looks, feels and smells like. I bet you wouldn't like to eat that!
Umm... I meant that maybe when they make yoghurt they somehow remove some vitamins...
I'm positive about that!

I think, everything is healthy that makes you happy. But, of course, everything has limits.
Once I mixed wine with milk, and it was really awful and then , five minutes later I feel terrible. I found some info on the web which I think might be helpful:
The Rules of Food Mixing
Vegetables and Fruits should form the major part of your diet.
Eat fruit alone or not at all.
Sugars and Carbohydrates should not be eaten with Proteins
Only eat small amounts of Fats, Proteins and Starches
Eat only Whole grains and Unprocessed Starches
Never eat white flour and sugar or any foods made with them.
Never eat highly processed fats or artificial food like margarine.
Wait until one set of food is digested before introducing another group.

Take care
