The practice of food combining has ancient roots, drawing inspiration from Ayurvedic medicine and later popularized in the 20th century by wellness advocates like William Howard Hay. This dietary approach operates on the central idea that certain food groups, like proteins and starches, should never be consumed together for optimal digestion and health.

Originating from the 20th-century natural hygiene movement, the Shelton diet is based on the controversial concept of food combining, developed by naturopath Herbert M. Shelton. Unlike conventional diets, it emphasizes separating specific food types during meals to improve digestion and health.
