Eating Food

1.Why Do We Feel a Sudden Pain in Our Head When We Try Gobbling Ice Cream?

2.Do Some Food Digest Faster Than Others. Why So?

• The time required to digest food depends on its constituents.
• Food that comprises carbohydrates like bread, biscuit, and cookies get digested quickly.
• Food that includes proteins like pulses, meat, and chicken takes longer to get digested.

3.What Are Opposite Foods? Why Should We Avoid Such Combinations?

• Our meal is a mixture of different food items. But some combinations of foods are not suitable for our health.
• The food combinations that cannot be digested easily together and may lead to digestive problems are called opposite foods.

• Honey and Ghee
• Cheese and potatoes
• Lemon juice and milk
• Melons and milk
