Mango And Milk Ayurveda - #3222
I’ve recently started learning about Ayurveda and how it views food combinations, and I came across something about mango and milk not being a good mix. But then again, I’ve seen mango milkshakes being sold everywhere, so now I’m confused. According to Ayurveda, is it okay to consume mango and milk together, or does it actually cause harm? Here’s why I’m asking. Mangoes are my absolute favorite fruit, and during mango season, I love making mango milkshakes or even just cutting up mangoes and pouring cold milk over them as a dessert. I’ve been eating mango and milk together for years without any obvious problems, but now I’m wondering if it’s affecting me in ways I haven’t noticed. I’ve been having mild digestion issues lately – bloating, gas, and sometimes heaviness after meals – and I’m starting to think maybe my favorite combo is to blame. I read somewhere that Ayurveda considers mango and milk an incompatible combination because it can create toxins in the body, but I didn’t fully understand why. Is it because mango is sweet and milk is heavy? Or is it more about how they react in the stomach? If Ayurveda says not to eat mango and milk together, why does it seem like such a common combination in recipes and drinks? Another thing I’m curious about is whether there’s a proper way to combine mango and milk according to Ayurveda. For example, does it help if the milk is boiled first or if the mango is ripe? Or is it just better to avoid this combo altogether? And does this rule apply to all milk, like plant-based milk, or only cow’s milk? If mango and milk really don’t go well together, what kinds of health problems could it cause over time? Could it explain my digestion issues, or would the effects be more immediate? I want to make sure I’m not unknowingly harming my body, especially since I’ve been eating this combo for so long.
