digestion, whereas milk is highly alkaline, so it can neutralize the acid required for digesting the flesh foods. Fruit digestion

results in the release of an alkaline secretion, which neutralizes the acid secretions, needed for protein digestion. Because of

this, it is not a good idea to eat fruits and proteins at the same meals. Some foods are digested faster than others. If fast-
