Can We Eat Curd And Ghee Together - #3223
Lately, I’ve been trying to improve my eating habits and include more traditional foods in my diet. Both curd and ghee are staples in our home, and I’ve heard so much about their health benefits individually. But now I’m wondering, can we eat curd and ghee together? Are they compatible according to Ayurveda, or does it cause any kind of imbalance? Here’s why I’m asking. I’ve started adding ghee to my meals for better digestion and immunity, and I also eat curd regularly because it helps keep my stomach cool. Sometimes, I’ll have a spoon of curd with a drizzle of ghee on top during lunch because I love the taste. But a relative recently told me that curd and ghee should never be eaten together because it can create toxins in the body or mess with digestion. I’ve been eating them together occasionally for months now, and now I’m second-guessing if that’s okay. I know Ayurveda has a lot to say about food combinations, but I couldn’t find a clear answer on curd and ghee. Does eating curd and ghee together affect digestion negatively? Or is it fine if they’re eaten in moderation? Also, does it depend on the time of day or season? For example, is it better to avoid curd and ghee together in colder months or at night? On a related note, if curd and ghee are not meant to be combined, what kinds of health problems can it lead to? Could it explain some mild indigestion I’ve been having after meals recently, or would the effects be more severe if they were truly incompatible? And if curd and ghee can be eaten together, is there a specific way to combine them, like adding spices or eating them with certain foods? I’d really appreciate some clarity on this. If curd and ghee together are not recommended in Ayurveda, I’d like to know why and what I should avoid in the future. But if it’s fine, I’d love to keep enjoying my favorite combo without worrying!
