can we eat apple with curd - #25752

Benjamin

I am really confused about something I've heard lately. My mom always said never mix fruits with curd. But honestly, I love apples and I have a little one who's super picky about food. Just yesterday, I made apple slices and mixed them with curd for her, hoping she’d eat it. To my surprise, she loved it! But then I started wondering, can we eat apple with curd? I’ve read some places that it can cause digestion issues and that it’s not good. I mean, my stomach felt totally fine after – no bloating or anything. But what I don’t understand is, if some people say it's bad, why do others mix them without issues? I really want to hear from Ayurvedic doctors about this — is it okay to eat apple with curd for kids or even adults? Like, should I worry about any long-term effects? Just want to make sure that I’m not doing something wrong, you know?

In Ayurveda, food combinations play a significant role in maintaining balance in the body. The general principle is that certain combinations can disturb digestion, leading to an imbalance in the doshas, particularly if consumed frequently. Now, when it comes to apples and curd, your mom is touching on a point mentioned in some texts. Ideally, fruits, due to their light and subtle nature, are usually best enjoyed alone, away from meals, as they are quick to digest. However, it's also important to consider one's unique constitution or prakriti. Some individuals might have a strong agni (digestive fire) and be able to process this combination without any noticeable harm, as you and your little one experienced. Yet, others may find it more challenging, leading to digestive discomfort when mixed together, which might be why some experience issues. For your child, if she loves it and shows no digestive signs like bloating or discomfort, an occasional serving of apples with curd could be okay. If it becomes a regular feature of her diet, observe her digestion and any related symptoms. Ayurveda places a great emphasis on keen observation of the body’s response. To ease potential digestive stress, consider using room temperature curd rather than cold, and season it with a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom, which can aid digestion. As for long-term effects, the concern would arise with regular consumption if it leads to any digestive complaints. Watch for signs of imbalance like irregular bowel movements, frequent colds, congestion, or skin issues. For people with kapha or vata imbalances, eating curd in moderation is recommended, and consumed during the day rather than at night. Ultimately, you and your family can gauge the compatibility by observing any reactions on consuming this combination. If it feels fine, it likely is — just remain mindful of your body ‘s feedback.
