Just Don't! Food Combinations That Are Bad for YouFood Combinations That Are Bad For You

While animal protein and starch is one of the most common food combinations, it can definitely affect your digestion. But if you’re not giving it up anytime soon, then you should learn about other food combinations to avoid for various reasons.

From combinations of foods that slow down digestion to those that mess with your energy levels, here are some of the combos that you should try to avoid on a regular basis.

Muffins and Orange Juice

While muffins are filled with carbs and orange juice has all the sugar from the fruit but very little of the fiber, this combination can raise your energy levels quickly, followed by a crash. Whole grain muffins deliver fiber that you do need for your breakfast, but you should still skip the orange juice, and also avoid it if you’re eating cereal for breakfast, particularly when mixed with milk.

Bananas and Dairy

Forget about the taste of a banana smoothie, since this fruit and milk amount to one of the worst food combinations to avoid. Your digestion will slow down and your energy levels can also drop. If bananas are a big part of your breakfast, then you can combine them with a non-dairy milk, whether it’s almond, coconut or another good replacement.
