For example, drinking milk in tea is not beneficial because the milk protein binds to and inactivates many of the beneficial compounds in the tea. On the other hand, adding lemon to tea is good, especially darker teas, because the citric acid in the lemon inactivates the tannins, which can inhibit the absorption of iron and other minerals.<br /><br />I’m constantly reading about other potentially more esoteric interactions with tea, such as the combination of green tea and mushrooms–but I haven’t seen any of these studied rigorously enough to draw good conclusions.<br /><br />Vicki:<br />Thanks Alex for some valuable additions here!<br /><br /><br /><br />Liam <br /><br />EverythingZing:<br /><br />Hey Vicki, been having a great time tucking into your blog! Very interesting about the food combining, particuarly the bit about eating high sugar fruits on their own. I usually finish my meals with a piece of fruit but it makes sense to have them in between meals. <br /><br />Would be interested on your thoughts on combining fruit and yogurt, say in a smoothie?<br /><br /><br />Vicki:<br /><br />Thank you Liam! Well, it seems that yogurt is far better than milk and cheese for combining, especially if only with the fruits that are not the sweetest kind – like blueberries would be better than strawberries (not as sweet), and peaches are probably too sweet. As in the bullet list above, “fermented dairy products and cheese do not cause this problem”, referring to the inhibition of proper digestion of other foods. Check out this chart on Recommended Percentages of Food Choices for a breakdown of some of the sweetest fruits, which should be eaten alone (I still plan on editing the notes section of the chart about the combinations).<br /><br />Anonymous:<br /><br />January 8th, 2010 <br /><br />10:32 am <br />Vicki:<br />Thanks for your comment!<br /><br />January 12th, 2010 <br /><br />2:17 pm <br /><br />ilinggreenmom:<br /><br />I agree that many of us have no idea what really makes digestion easier for our bodies. Our family has been taking our Vidazorb chewable probiotics every day and they really have shown to be helpful with stomach issues for us. I think that what you are saying makes so much sense too and that our bodies really could benefit from eating this way as well.Jadahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10704264156865975299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249561078179056314.post-73542773699399112532010-03-04T13:07:36.989-05:002010-03-04T13:07:36.989-05:00Wednesday Workout:<br />60 minutes of intense Eliptical workout.<br />Podrunner podcast week 2 of 8K<br /><br />Felt great!<br /><br /><br />227Jadahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10704264156865975299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249561078179056314.post-8893268596360736202010-02-15T00:18:12.394-05:002010-02-15T00:18:12.394-05:00Sharon Niecy Rogers: Amen.

If not for valleys there would be no peaks to climb. There is a reason for your visit to the valley. Your job is to find out what it is, kick it&#39;s but and get back to climbing Mt Nemisus(fictious place) LOL. Any moutain climber takes cover and camps out for a time to re energize mentally to continne the climb. Stay positive. Even if you feel lost God is leading you by faith. Besides I&#39;ve already made you one of my hero&#39;s !!!!

Follower wanted to know how I&#39;m doing:<br /><br />Hey Linda! I THINK I&#39;m doing ok. I had a few brain farts during this past birthday weekend though. We went to a restaurant where we ordered a seafood platter and without thinking I ordered fries- my big weakness! I ended up eating about 4-5 while lecturng myself in my head! I also made the mistake of not weighing myself at the beginning, but just &quot;trusted that I would be atleast 5lbs lighter. Well I weighed myself Monday morning and I was the same weight that I was 4 weeks ago. I have no way of determining if that was a result of my birthday binge weekend or if the program isn&#39;t working for me. So I decide to put away my hatred of the scale and weigh myself more frequently so that I can determine if Im on track! Otherwise I&#39;ve been faithful to the no pasta, potatoes or rice and have been taking the supplements and vitamins faithfully.Jadahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10704264156865975299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249561078179056314.post-61841738051614787782010-02-05T12:02:06.158-05:002010-02-05T12:02:06.158-05:00YOU ROCK ! ! !I am NanaBananahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12878443780871742039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249561078179056314.post-14027427020182048862010-01-30T08:43:40.111-05:002010-01-30T08:43:40.111-05:00Ruth Oliver and Margaret White Lopes like this.<br />Kathleen Post Crossman thanks Jada this explains a LOT<br />Yesterday at 5:22pm · Ruth Oliver I read a book entitled managing Your Mind and Mood Through Food back<br /><br />January 30, 2010 8:39 AM <br /> Jada said... <br />Jada Hooks-Wilson @Kathleen: Yup it does! ie I always thought that a bananna was good to eat before a workout....I don&#39;t know something about the potassium.
