Claudia Jones in Namaskar (April 2011 issue) extolled the significance of food combining to our digestive health. So she said this method may help us reduce gas and abdominal bloating after eating, fast eliminate and balance body weight (ok, I need that someday, not for now).

Jones further explained what food combining principles are:

  • Protein should only be eaten with non-starchy vegetables.
  • Starch should only be eaten with non-starchy vegetables.
