Proper Food Combining:   Proper nutrition is a very serious and delicate subject in our lives, from the moment of conception, through the development of the fetus in the mother’s uterus and birth, to physical and mental growth and the evolution of personality and behavior patterns, up to the very last moment of life.
	With the advancement of our understanding of human body and environment, today we, more than ever, pay attention to the quantity and quality of our food and nutrition. We know what an enormous impact what we eat, to what extent, and in what particular combination, has on our health, beauty, mental power, inner peace, and even our personality characteristics.
There is a great deal written and spoken about proper eating and the “right” diet. Nevertheless, many people are still confused and unsure about what the best diet is, the perfect way to combine foods, and how much and what kind of foodstuffs to eat and when.   Pointing to available statistics, researchers have discovered that in today’s modern nations, a woman spends about 3-5 years, that is, about 1/20th, of her lifetime, engaged in actions related to enhancing and maintaining beauty and a better appearance. For men, these figures drop down to half!   But why don’t we spend the same proportion of our time, effort, and energy protecting and enhancing our physical and mental health through educating ourselves about sound nutrition?   Perhaps some, in response to this question, would say: with the availability of a large number and variety of diets, formulas, and complicated nutritional recommendations, people are dazed and confused, and don’t know exactly where to start or which to follow.   Those familiar with the principles of learning know that one must approach it in stages, step by step, from simple to more complicated, the same way one would learn the letters of the alphabet. Learning about proper nutrition is no different. Proper Food Combining And Its Simple Alphabet:   As the first step in helping you learn how to eat right, the Health and Beauty Institute has created color-coded diagrams and flash cards filled with information about proper food combining; information you can access easily and quickly at any time, whether at home, the grocery store, at a party, or a restaurant.   Proper food combining recommendations coincide often with doctors’ nutritional recommendations and with many different weight-loss diets.   Proper food combining recommendations are meant to preserve and enhance health and inner balance, and to prevent malfunction of the body’s organs. This results in a natural enhancement and preservation of beauty and physical and mental health, as well as energy and strength.
As an example, suppose you want to eat lamb or beef (red meat). To use these flash cards, follow these simple steps:   A. First look at the red card (colored with the color of the food, in this case: red meat), OR at the card that has lamb or beef written on it.   B. Then, note that the main ingredient of your chosen food (red meat) is in the “meat protein” category. The digestion of this category of food on average requires 11 hours.   C. Third, look at the diagram on the card to the left of the above card, which has a green border, and which covers “non-starch vegetables”. This card tells you which foods to combine with the original category, in this case “meat protein”.   D. Finally, choose any of the vegetables mentioned on the “non-starch vegetables” that you like.   This way, you will have chosen the right kind of vegetable with your red meat, and will be able to enjoy a healthy diet, in the proper combination.
