The science of food combining is called trophology. Even fruits need to be had in a proper manner so as to derive maximum benefit from them. The reason being, different foods require different enzymes to be secreted for digestion. Now when two incompatible foods are ingested, the enzymes cannot do their work well and results in fermentation, putrification, burps and belches. As far as fruits are concerned, let me first divide them into categories:
1) Acid fruits - citrus, pineapples, strawberries, pomegranates, sour apples, sour grapes, sour peaches, sour cherries, sour plums
2) Sub-acid fruits - sweet apples, sweet peaches, sweet cherries, sub-acid grapes, pears, papayas, mangoes, apricots, sweet plums, fresh figs, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries
3)Sweet fruits - Bananas, custard apple, all sweet grapes, all dried fruit, chikoos
4) Melons - watermelon, musk melon
The commandments for correct fruit eating (it applies to fruit juices as well)
Eat sub-acid fruits with either acid or sweet fruits
Do not combine acid fruits & sweet fruits
Melons should be eaten alone
Also fruits donot combine well with any other food type and should be eaten alone.
Wait for 20-30 minutes after you have had one group of fruits to shift to another.
Have a fruity day :-)
