can we eat ghee and curd together - #24062
I am really confused about some food combinations lately, especially when it comes to ghee and curd. My grandma always swore by the benefits of both, saying combining ghee and curd makes them even better for digestion, but then I read somewhere that eating them together could be bad for you? Like, why would those two be a problem? I mean, both are staples in my diet, especially during the summer months. A few weeks ago, after having ghee with my curd rice, I felt somewhat bloated and was wondering if that was just a coincidence or if maybe they really don't mix well. I tried searching online, but there’s sooo much conflicting info. Some say can we eat ghee and curd together for better absorption of nutrients, and others say it can cause digestive issues. Ugh, what should I believe? Can someone give me a clear answer on whether can we eat ghee and curd together without worrying about stomach problems? Thanks a ton!

Which Chyawanprash Is the Best for Overall Health Benefits? - #10182
Chyawanprash is one of the most well-known Ayurvedic health supplements, and I’ve been considering adding it to my daily routine. However, with so many brands and variations available, I’m not sure which one to choose. Which chyawanprash is the best in terms of quality, effectiveness, and overall health benefits? From what I’ve read, chyawanprash is made using a combination of over 40 herbs, with amla (Indian gooseberry) being the primary ingredient due to its high vitamin C content. Many brands offer traditional chyawanprash as well as variations like sugar-free or those infused with kesar (saffron). Do these variations impact the effectiveness of the product, and are they better suited for specific needs like immunity or vitality? Another factor I’m curious about is the quality of ingredients and manufacturing. Are there specific brands that adhere strictly to traditional Ayurvedic practices, ensuring the highest purity and potency of ingredients? Should I look for certifications like organic, preservative-free, or vegan when choosing a chyawanprash? I’d also like to know how to use chyawanprash for maximum benefits. Should it be taken daily, and is there an ideal time to consume it? Does taking it with warm milk or water enhance its absorption, or can it be eaten on its own? If anyone has tried different chyawanprash brands, I’d love to hear your recommendations. Which one worked best for you, and what improvements did you notice in your health, energy, or immunity? Are there any side effects or considerations, such as for diabetics or those on a low-sugar diet?
