Ellen Gould White über: "Mix fruit and vegetables. And are there exceptions for some people in digestion?"
Answer
It is expressly recommended not to mix fruit and vegetables in the same meal, as this can lead to excess acidity of the stomach and impair mental clarity. Especially people with weak digestion suffer from this combination, so it is better to consume fruit and vegetables separately in time. Nevertheless, it is emphasized that there is no rigid rule for everyone, as individual needs and food tolerances can vary.
The Separation of Fruit and Vegetables
It is not good to eat fruit and vegetables at the same meal. When digestion is weak, using both often leads to discomfort and the inability to exert mental effort. It is better to eat fruit at one meal and vegetables at another.
Consequences of Wrong Food Combinations
Fruit and vegetables taken in one meal cause excess acidity of the stomach; this results in contamination of the blood, and the mind is not clear because digestion is incomplete.
Individual Differences in Digestion
It is impossible to set an unchanging rule to regulate everyone's habits, and no one should make themselves the standard for all. Not everyone can eat the same things. Foods that are tasty and healthy for one person can be unpleasant and even harmful for another.
Advancement Through Experience and Discernment
As intelligent human beings we should individually study the principles and use our experience and discernment to decide which foods are best for us.
Special Needs with a Weak Stomach
Some require well‑prepared vegetables to meet their special needs. Others were not able to use vegetables without suffering health consequences.
