+## Simplicity & Food Combining
+
+There's something to be said about enjoying the food you eat. If you don't like the flavor of rice, then rice may not be for you. Many people don;t even know that rice has a flavor because they're so used to it being cooked with salt, oil, and then having sauces dumped on top.
+
+I subscribe to similar ideas as Natural Hygiene which says monomeals (meals consisting of only a single food ingredient) are the healthiest way to eat and the best chance at a highly efficient digestion. I rarely combine fruits, and allow 20-45 minutes in between each fruit type if eating multiple around a mealtime.
+
+The same goes for cooked food. Sometimes I may combine rice with lentils, however most the time I find myself having rice and a veggie for lunch, then lentils or tofu and a veggie or two for dinner. Vegetables low in acid, calories, and starch (such as celery, kale, or zucchini) are typically safe to combine with higher calorie staples.
+
+The same goes for seasonings. If cooking a celery stew (Khoresh Karafs), my only ingredients will be lentils and fresh celery, with the only seasonings being peppermint and parsely, fresh if I have it ortherwise dried. Craving pizza? I'll add oregano and thyme to a meal. Experimenting like cooking a pot of rice with rosemary and lavendar can be pretty great too!!

 ## Grains & Legumes
 
 Rinsing and soaking these are very helpful for my digestion.
