Meat And Curd Together Are They Poisonous - #2977

Anonymously

I’ve always been curious about food combinations and their effects on health, especially after hearing that some combinations can cause serious issues. Recently, someone told me that eating meat and curd together might be poisonous according to Ayurveda. Is this true? I’ve been eating dishes like kebabs with yogurt dips or chicken cooked in creamy curd-based sauces for years without any obvious problems. But now I’m wondering if this practice could be harming me in ways I don’t realize. 🤔🍗🥣 From what I’ve read, Ayurveda places a lot of emphasis on food compatibility. It seems that certain combinations can disrupt digestion or even create toxins in the body. Does this apply to meat and curd specifically? And if so, what makes this combination so problematic? Is it because both are considered heavy to digest, or is there something about the heating and cooling energies (viruddha ahara) of meat and curd that clash? 🔥❄️ Another thing I’m confused about is whether this applies to all types of meat or just certain ones. For example, is fish and curd worse than chicken and curd? Or does the way the dish is prepared like cooking curd versus using it raw make a difference? I eat a lot of tandoori dishes that include marinated chicken in curd, and I’d hate to think that this could be causing long-term health issues. Also, are there any immediate symptoms I should watch for if this combination is actually harmful? I sometimes feel bloated or lethargic after eating heavy meals, but I always attributed it to overeating rather than the combination itself. Could this be a sign that meat and curd together are toxic for me? Lastly, if this combination is bad, what are some safe alternatives? For instance, is it better to use lemon or vinegar-based marinades instead of curd when preparing meat? Or can curd be paired with lighter vegetarian dishes without any risks? I’d love to know more about the Ayurvedic perspective on this and whether I should completely avoid combining meat and curd in my diet. Thanks for shedding light on this topic! 🌿✨

Doctors’ responses

In Ayurveda, combining meat and curd (yogurt) is often considered problematic, especially when consumed together in large quantities or as part of a heavy meal. This combination is thought to create digestive imbalance because: Heavy Digestion: Both meat and curd are heavy to digest. When combined, they can burden the digestive system, leading to toxins (ama) in the body. Opposing Energies: Meat is considered heating (pitta), while curd is cooling (kapha), leading to a clash in energies (viruddha ahara) that disrupts digestion. This issue applies to all types of meat, though fish and curd are particularly considered a poor combination due to their strong opposing qualities. The preparation method, such as using raw or cooked curd, may influence the severity, but the general principle remains the same. Signs of Digestive Disturbance: Bloating, lethargy, or discomfort after eating meat and curd together can indicate poor digestion, which might be exacerbated by this combination. Alternatives: Use lemon, vinegar, or spices (like ginger or turmeric) instead of curd for marinating meat. Curds can be safely paired with lighter vegetarian dishes like rice or vegetables. If you experience regular discomfort, it may be wise to avoid combining meat and curd together and explore other combinations for better digestion.
