is curd good in empty stomach - #25605

Hunter

I am really confused about this whole curd thing... like, I’ve been hearing a lot of different opinions lately. I usually have my breakfast pretty early, and I was thinking about adding curd into my morning routine. But then I heard from a friend that having curd good in empty stomach might not be the best idea right away. She said it can mess with your digestion??? Sometimes I feel bloated after breakfast, and I'm wondering if it’s something to do with what I eat or if it’s just normal. Last week, I tried having curd on an empty stomach, and though it felt fine at first, later I felt a bit uneasy. I’m not sure if curd is good in empty stomach for everyone or if I should have it later in the day instead. Can anyone share their experiences or advice? like, is curd really good in empty stomach or should I swap it out with something else? Just feel lost on this whole thing!

In Ayurveda, the consumption of curd, or yogurt, is generally advised with caution, especially when you are eating it on an empty stomach. While curd is nutritious, it has qualities—like being heavy and sour—that can affect digestion differently depending on your body constitution or dosha. When you eat curd on an empty stomach, it might heighten the kapha dosha, which can lead to feelings of heaviness or bloating, exactly what you're describing. Additionally, if your natural digestive fire (agni) isn't strong enough in the morning, curd can be heavy for the stomach to process, potentially causing discomfort or bloating later on. If you wish to include curd in your diet without upsetting your digestion, consider these tips. It's recommended to have curd during lunch or when the digestive fire is at its peak. This helps your body to digest it properly. Also, try mixing curd with some warm water, rock salt, or spices like cumin or ginger, as this can alleviate any bloating sensation and aid digestion. Such mixtures are considered to be lighter and more balanced. If you’re feeling bloated regularly, you might want to explore other breakfast options. Maybe something like warm seasoned oatmeal or cooked grains with a relaxing herbal tea could suit you better in the morning. Keep an eye on how you feel after trying different breakfast foods and adjust according to what feels best for your body. Lastly, do remember, every individual's digestion is unique, and what works well for one person might not suit another. Observing your body's reactions will guide you in making the right choice. If the bloating persists, consulting a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying issues could be beneficial.
