Is it Okay to Eat Apple with Milk According to Ayurveda? - #2324
I’ve been following an Ayurvedic routine for a few months now, trying to improve my digestion and overall health. One thing I struggle with is knowing what food combinations are considered beneficial or harmful in Ayurveda. Recently, I read online that combining apples with milk is not recommended according to Ayurveda, but I’m not sure why this is the case. I’ve been having apples with milk for breakfast for years, thinking it's a healthy option. I typically eat an apple and then drink a glass of milk right after. But after hearing about this Ayurveda advice, I started to wonder if it’s harming my digestion or causing any other imbalances. I’ve never had any major stomach issues after this combination, but I do experience bloating sometimes, especially after meals. Could this food combination be contributing to my digestive issues? From what I understand, Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of food combinations, and some foods can have different effects when eaten together. So, I’m really curious if apples and milk are considered a bad combination, and why. Does this combination cause an imbalance in any dosha, or does it affect digestion in a negative way? Would it be better for my digestion to eat apples and drink milk separately, or should I just avoid combining them altogether? I’ve also heard about other food combinations to avoid in Ayurveda, and I’m wondering if this applies to other fruits or dairy products. Are there specific guidelines for milk consumption that I should be following while on my Ayurvedic journey? Any advice or insights on this matter would be greatly appreciated! I want to make sure that I’m following the best practices for my health according to Ayurveda, and I’m trying to understand how food combinations play a role in my digestion and overall wellness.
