## 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!!
