The Sandwich: A Digestive Disaster

The sandwich. 

A mainstay of the western diet, made popular the world over for its convenience, its versatililty, its portability...

In a world where everyone is in a hurry and on the go, these attributes have been given quite a bit of attention.  Notice, however,  that all of these "qualities" fail to address our food's most important criteria.  That, of course, is our nutrition.  Somewhere along the line, that seems to have been made a secondary concern.

Contrary to what "Jared" may tell you, sandwiches are not very healthy.

I may not win many popularity contests by saying this, but it's the truth.  Like much of the western diet, sandwiches are a digestive disaster.

Simply put, they break all the rules of food combining.

Virtually any sandwich is a three-way combination of carbohydrates, fat and protein.  (ex. bread, cheese, meat)

Our bodies cannot properly digest these different macronutrients at same time.

Instead of a well-digested meal, what we get instead is indigestion, discomfort, and poor nutrient absorption.

Key to good digestion is to keep meals simple and in alignment (mostly one type of food category).

Stay away from the sandwich.  For starters, just get rid of the bread.  It's really only a vehicle anyway, and offers you nothing but empty calories.  

Our meals should be primarily fruit-based (fresh fruit, smoothies) or greens-based (green smoothies, salads).  Neither of these are improved by slapping them between layers of refined grain products. 

Do your health a favor and part ways with the sandwich.  Believe me, you can do much better. ;^)
