There are some dangerous food combinations that should not be eaten together for better health as these food combinations can seriously harm your digestive system by putting heavy pressure to digest. Bad food combination and over eating make your stomach (large and small intestine organs) to work hard to fully digest your meal and this is the root of all digestive ailments.
For example, say you eat a meal that includes meat and pineapple, as pineapple digests faster on its own and when combined with slowly digesting foods like meat takes longer time to digest and the sugars present in the fruit gets ferment which leads to bloating and gas. These type of fermentation become toxic, makes other organs work hard to detox the body.
These toxins may also cause fatigue, irritability, headaches, foul breath initially then later may result in colitis, inflammation, constipation, arthritis, high blood pressure and other unpleasant issues.
