Fruit and Yogurt – This combination can be troublesome, but on their own they are very healthy. These two do not mix well because Fruit is sweet in taste but yogurt is sour to taste. But milk or cheese may be used instead. Lot of mucous is secreted when yogurt is mixed with fruit sugar. Thus, you end up having a sticky material into your stomach. This can block the release of enzymes and absorption of food nutrients. The enzyme that digests milk is secreted from the small intestine. But when your milky food is turned into a sticky mass of mucous, the enzyme no more gets released. Thus, the food is then degraded by the bacteria in our stomach making us suffer from gas and stomach disorders.
