food combining

Is food combinging really as important to a raw lifestyle as everyone makes it out to be? I have heard both sides of the story: it is super important because of the order foods digest, or it’s not important at all when you eat all raw because the food already has the enzymes it needs to digest. What is everyones personal take on this? And if you agree with food combinging what are some general rules on how to?

My tummy is very sensitive and I know that when i follow the “rules” i dont get quite as upset. As far as what you should do i think its just personal preference. If its healthy its healthy, no matter when you eat it; besides eating raw isnt about set rules, its a lifestle for me. I eat it because i want to not because someone said its “better” and should be this way…

I just try to have citrus alone w/o anything else. My DP told me to eat melon alone as well. Other than that, I just try not to put too much into a smoothie. If I do, I make sure I’m only using 1 fruit (two if they are in the same family) and whatever water, almond, extras I want. Green smoothies are usually 1-2 greens and one fruit or no fruit. My only complicated meal is a salad (usually my largest meal) or if I’m making a “dish”.

My only digestive issue I have are grains, so I stay away from them for the most part. Other than that, I dont worry. I’m only a few weeks into this so only time will tell what I’ll do months from now.
