1. Watermelon with Any Other Fruit
Watermelon should be eaten on its own because the stomach doesn’t digest it properly when combined with other fruits. This is due to its high water content.
The same recommendation applies to cantaloupe and honeydew — it’s best to consume them separately.
2. Starchy Fruits with Protein-Rich Fruits
The body requires an acidic environment to digest proteins and an alkaline one to break down starches. Therefore, it’s best not to mix starchy fruits (like green bananas) with protein-rich fruits such as guava, apricots, kiwi, avocado, and blackberries.

3. Citrus Fruits with Sweet Fruits
Combining citrus fruits (like oranges, grapefruit, tangerines, and strawberries) with sweet fruits (like bananas and grapes) may lead to nausea, acidity, and headaches.
4. Papaya with Lemon
Papaya and lemon might seem like a healthy combo for your child, but consuming them together can increase the risk of anemia. This is due to how they disrupt hemoglobin levels when combined.
