Читать книгу The PH Diet: The pHenomenal Dietary System - Bharti Vyas - Страница 8

The answer is both yes and no. Like food combining, the pH diet is based on the concept of acid/alkaline imbalance as the cause of ill-health. This was first expounded in 1933 when William Howard Hay, a New York doctor, published his groundbreaking book, A New Health Era. He maintained that all disease is caused by autointoxication (self-poisoning) due to acid accumulation in the body. His work is still popular today and is now published as the Hay diet, also known as food combining.

However, the pH Diet is not a food-combining diet. When you follow the pH Diet, you can eat carbohydrates, proteins and fats together. This is because the pancreas produces three different digestive enzymes all at the same time, indicating that our bodies are designed to process different food groups simultaneously.
