Is It True That Banana and Curd Are Poisonous According to Ayurveda - #2157

Anonymously

I’ve been hearing this claim from a few people that eating banana with curd is considered poison in Ayurveda. At first, I thought it was just a myth, but recently, I started feeling a little uneasy after having this combination. After having banana with curd in the morning, I felt heavy, bloated, and had mild stomach discomfort the rest of the day. Could this combination really cause harm to my body according to Ayurveda? I’m not sure whether it’s a coincidence or if there's truth behind this Ayurvedic principle. I’ve seen conflicting views online about food combinations, and I really want to understand if this pairing could be causing my digestive issues or if it’s something else entirely. Can you please explain why banana and curd are considered harmful together in Ayurvedic terms? Are there specific doshas or imbalances that this combination affects? Should I completely avoid it, or is it okay in moderation?

In Ayurveda, the combination of banana and curd (yogurt) is considered unfavorable for digestion, especially for people with certain doshic imbalances. This pairing is believed to create an imbalance in the digestive fire (Agni) because it combines two foods with opposite qualities: bananas are heavy, moist, and sweet, while curd is sour and cold. This can disrupt the digestion process, leading to bloating, heaviness, and discomfort, as you experienced. It may aggravate Kapha dosha, which is responsible for mucus and heaviness in the body, and can also affect Vata, leading to gas and bloating. If you are prone to digestive issues or have a weaker Agni, it's best to avoid this combination or consume it in moderation. Ayurveda recommends that foods be consumed in ways that support optimal digestion, so pairing lighter foods with lighter foods and heavier foods with heavier foods is often advised for better balance. You might want to experiment with avoiding this combination and observe if your symptoms improve.
