Non-hybrid fruits, vegetables, grains, and Mountain Valley Spring water are generally available at international grocery stores and Whole Foods. To support digestive health and ensure optimal nutrient absorption, consider the following food combination guidelines:
– Melons: Seeded watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew must be eaten alone. Wait approximately 15 minutes after eating a melon before consuming other fruits.
– Combinations: Most other fruits can be eaten together. Vegetables pair well with both fruits and non-hybrid grains like Kamut, Spelt, and Teff.
– Digestion Times: Most vegetables take about 30 minutes to digest, while grains take 1–2 hours.
To maintain homeostasis, aim for a diet consisting of at least 80% non-hybrid foods. It is recommended to reduce or eliminate meat, dairy, and soy, starting with red meat and progressing from there.
