- Good quality food, combined well is best for health

- Better to eat bad (poor quality food) combined well then to eat good food combined poorly!

- Cold Water freezes and contracts your digestive system and leaves you weak and tired after a meal (drink no more than 4 oz beverage with meal). Additionally, drinking water or beverage during or after meals washes down the enzymes that are needed to facilitate digestion.

- Make each meal either mostly carbohydrate, mostly protein, or just fruits.

- In one meal have 2 starches or 1 protein (i.e. don't combine nuts)

• Starch: Rice, Bread, Pasta, Potatoes, Carrots, Beets, Mung Bean Sprouts
• Protein: Beans, Legumes, Tofu, Tempeh, Soy Products, Microalgaes
• High Fat: Cheese, Nuts, Seeds, Milk, Yogurt
• Fats: Butter, Oils, Olives, Avocados, Sour Cream

- Frequent small meals are better than 3 large ones. But too short intervals won't allow you to get 'chi' as well (the body needs time to digest).

- If you eat three meals a day, try the following:

1. Breakfast - moderate to small meal (fruit is fine except when yeast or 'cold' condition exists)
2. Lunch - largest meal (carbohydrate)
3. Dinner - smallest meal (but largest protein)
   *3 hours between meals is good.

- If you eat two meals:

1. First - Carbohydrates at 10 a.m.
2. Second - Protein at 5-6 p.m.

- Melon, citrus fruits, and milk are best consumed by itself.

- Use the chart below. Combine only foods that are directly next to each other (ie. "Sweet" & "Sub-acidic" fruits, but not sweet & acidic fruits or "Proteins" & "Green" but not "Proteins" & "Fruits").
