Another drink that is good to eat every day, morning, or anytime before meals and drinks will be filled first effects will be as follows: Mix 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with 250-500 ml of apple juice (shown to be fresh squeezed). This will balance the acidity of gastric juice drink.

Experts believe it has to chew the food until it becomes almost liquid.
Eight. Combined the food is used by many people. There are books that explain how best to combine food is not necessarily considering a diet, but also for the functioning of the digestive system.

It is considered that these three types should not be mixed.
