Heartburn

Proteins are digested with acids. Carbohydrates are
digested with alkalis. Let them takes turns. Eat carbs, eat
protein, in the same day, but not in the same meal.

When your digestive system is confronted with pastrami
on rye, you send out the acid squad to process the
pastrami and the alkali squad out to work on the rye. They
run into each other and can't help but cancel each other
out. Since there is still pastrami and  rye around,
reinforcement are produced and sent out. This reruns
several times. Lots of enzymes, especially acid is
produced for this event.

When you have eat say, a salad with some cheese in it, no
croutons, OR a pasta salad with no cheese, ONLY one
squad is sent out. Mission accomplished in one take. You
can digest food in one third the time, which saves a lot of
energy. You can actually feel alert after lunch instead of
exhausted and sleepy, because not so much or your blood
stream is drawn to the lower battlefield and more can go
to your head.
