Food Combining Basics

Food Combining Basics explores the impact of food combinations on digestion and nutrient absorption, advocating for mindful food pairings to optimize digestive health based on scientific research. It examines how different foods interact within your digestive system, affecting processes like enzyme activity and gastric pH, potentially leading to bloating or improved nutrient uptake. For example, understanding how alkaline conditions support carbohydrate digestion versus the acidic environment needed for protein digestion is key. The book argues that strategic food combining can alleviate digestive distress, challenging the ""eat everything in moderation"" approach. It begins with digestion basics and progresses through carbohydrate, protein, and fat digestion, culminating in practical guidelines and meal planning. This approach differentiates itself by grounding food combining principles in biology and nutritional science, rather than anecdotal evidence. Readers will gain insights into digestive processes and learn how to apply food combining strategies, such as experimenting with meal plans to observe individual responses. By understanding these principles, individuals can make informed dietary choices to improve their digestive well-being.

FARM MACHINERY

Designed for the course on Farm Machinery for undergraduate students of Agricultural Engineering, the book deals with the field operations such as tillage, tillage machineries including seedbed refining machineries, sowings and planting machineries, weeding and interculture equipment. A variety of harvesting and threshing equipment for cereals and forage crop including recovery/handling of crop residue are also dealt with in detail. The book discusses machineries used for specialised crops like rice, potato and sugarcane which are the major crops grown in our country. A detailed procedure on estimation of operational cost of agricultural machineries find place in this text. Review questions, multiple choice questions and solved numerical problems are suitably placed at the end of each chapter, wherever required, to help students to check their knowledge and grasping of the subject. Efforts have been made to write this book conforming to the course curriculum to enable students to use this book as a text. The tools, implements or machineries have been described in a simple language supported with line diagrams and photographs for better understanding. The students will find this book valuable for their continuing education as well as for various competitive examinations. Besides B.Tech (Agricultural Engineering) students, the book is also beneficial for the students of Diploma in Agricultural Engineering and B.Sc. Agricultural Sciences for their paper on ‘Farm Machinery’.
