Can We Eat Apple And Milk Together - #3233
I’ve been trying to make my meals healthier, and for breakfast, I often have a glass of milk with a sliced apple on the side. It’s simple, quick, and keeps me full for a few hours. But recently, I came across some information saying that mixing fruits and milk might not always be a good idea according to Ayurveda. So now I’m wondering: can we eat apple and milk together, or is it a bad combination? Here’s the thing - I haven’t noticed any major issues, but I do feel a bit heavy or bloated sometimes after this breakfast. I always thought apples and milk were both healthy, so eating them together seemed fine. But I’ve read that Ayurveda has specific guidelines about food combinations and that certain pairings, like fruits and dairy, can cause toxins or “ama” in the body. Does this apply to apple and milk, or is it only for sour fruits like oranges and milk? Another question I have is whether the way the apple and milk are prepared makes a difference. For example, does it help if the milk is warm instead of cold? Or should the apple be cooked or blended instead of eaten raw? Sometimes I make a smoothie with apple, milk, and a little honey – is that any better, or could it still cause problems? I’m also curious about the effects of eating apple and milk together over time. If this combination is not ideal, what kinds of issues could it lead to? Could it explain the occasional bloating I’ve been having, or would the effects be more long-term, like affecting digestion or energy levels? Lastly, if apple and milk aren’t meant to be eaten together, what’s a good alternative? Should I eat apples at a different time of day and pair milk with something else? I really enjoy this combination, so I’d love to find a way to make it work, but I want to make sure it’s not harming my health in the long run.
