Digestive Issues After Eating Wrong Food Combos? Ayurveda Advice Needed - #1366

Anonymous

I’m having such weird digestion problems lately... I thought I was eating healthy (smoothies, fruits, veggies), but now my stomach feels heavy & bloated almost all the time. I was reading online that certain food combinations can be harmful, like mixing milk with fruits or eating yogurt at night (which I do all the time!). I’ve been having banana smoothies with milk every morning, and I’ve just learned it’s a ‘wrong food combination’ according to Ayurveda? 😳 Could this be why I’m always feeling so sluggish and gassy after breakfast?? Also, sometimes I eat leftovers cold straight from the fridge (I know... it's bad 😬). Is that also against Ayurvedic principles? I’m confused about which combos are safe and which can mess up digestion. Would love some advice on what to avoid and how to balance my meals better, so I don’t feel like this anymore...

In Ayurveda, proper digestion (Agni) is key to overall health, and food combinations play a significant role in maintaining digestive balance. Mixing milk with fruits like bananas is considered a harmful combination because it can create a heavy, difficult-to-digest mixture that leads to bloating, sluggishness, and gas. This combination is thought to disrupt the digestive fire, as milk and fruit have different digestion times and qualities. Eating cold, leftover food is also generally discouraged in Ayurveda, as it is believed to impair digestion by lowering the Agni (digestive fire). It’s better to consume freshly cooked meals, ideally warm, to support proper digestion. To improve digestion, focus on light, warm, and easily digestible meals, and avoid heavy or incompatible food combinations. For example, try eating fruits separately, and avoid mixing dairy with sour or acidic foods like yogurt and fruit. A balanced meal of whole grains, vegetables, and healthy fats, eaten in moderation, can support your digestive health and prevent bloating and sluggishness. Additionally, drinking warm water throughout the day can help stimulate digestion.
