Una moderna revision del metodo de alimentacion que el Doctor Williams Howard Hay recomendo hace anos mantiene que el cuerpo produce acidos para digerir proteinas y alcalis para digerir feculas, mezclar ambas en la misma comida solo conduce a una digestion pesada. Pero la indigestion puede ser solo el primer sintoma de otras enfermedades potenciales, como ulceras, alergias u obesidad. Tras ensenarnos a separar los alimentos incompatibles, este metodo aboga por una dieta compuesta en su mayoria por alimentos de reaccion alcalina como la fruta fresca, las verduras y ensaladas; un sistema equilibrado de comidas, alivia los sintomas de enfermedades como la artritis y la diabetes. / Over 50 years ago, Dr. William Hay concluded that the body uses acids to digest proteins and alkalis to digest starches, and that mixing the two might lead to painful indigestion and more serious problems such as ulcers, allergies, and obesity. Though criticized at the time, the Hay System has been vindicated by modern research, and provides essentially the healthy, whole-food diet of most alkali-forming foods such as fruits, green vegetables, and salads advocated by many leading nutritionists today. Food Combining for Health shows how to separate incompatible foods and explains how the Hay System can alleviate the symptoms of chronic diseases such as arthritis and diabetes, while increasing energy and well-being in those without specific health problems. Includes recipes and seasonal menu suggestions.
