Can We Eat Karela And Egg Together - #3350
I’ve recently started experimenting with different foods to improve my diet, and I came across a recipe that combines karela (bitter gourd) and eggs. It tasted pretty good, but then someone told me it might not be a good idea to eat these two together because they could have conflicting effects on the body. So, I wanted to ask can we eat karela and egg together, or should they be avoided in the same meal? I’ve been eating karela regularly because I heard it’s great for digestion and controlling blood sugar levels. At the same time, eggs are a staple in my diet for protein and energy. It seemed natural to combine them, especially since I’m trying to create simple and nutritious meals. However, I’m now worried if there could be any negative effects of combining karela and eggs. For instance, could the bitterness of karela react with the protein in eggs to cause digestion problems? Sometimes after eating this combination, I’ve felt a little bloated and heavy. I’m not sure if it’s related, but I’d like to know if this pairing aligns with Ayurvedic principles. Does Ayurveda recommend certain food pairings, or are there combinations, like karela and eggs, that are considered incompatible? If so, what kind of issues could arise, and is it a long-term concern or just temporary discomfort? Also, are there specific times of the day when it’s better to eat karela or eggs separately? For example, if I eat eggs in the morning and karela later, would that help avoid any potential problems? I’d appreciate it if you could clarify this for me and suggest alternatives if we can’t eat karela and egg together. Are there other protein-rich foods that pair well with karela, or a better way to prepare these two foods to make them compatible?
