What is food combining?

Basic Principles of Food Combining

These are the general guidelines for food combining, a popular but unproven theory. 1. Fruits should be eaten by themselves, allow 30 min. before eating anything else.
2. Proteins and starches should not be eaten together as one meal.
3. Combine protein and vegetables or combine starch and vegetables.
4. Do not eat more than one protein food per meal.
5. Melons are best eaten as a separate meal from other fruits.

My guess something to do with how the body processes foods and the wrong combo causes the food to loose its value?
