Is Bitter Gourd And Egg Combination Harmful - #3352
Recently, I tried a dish that combined bitter gourd and egg. It tasted fine, but a friend later told me that this combination might not be good for health. They mentioned something about Ayurveda saying that mixing these two could create some sort of harmful reaction in the body. Is this true? I have no idea if there’s any scientific or Ayurvedic reasoning behind it. The reason I’m asking is that I’ve been trying to eat healthier, and both bitter gourd and eggs are part of my diet now. Bitter gourd is supposed to help with blood sugar and digestion, and eggs are my go-to for protein. But if the two together are harmful, I’d like to know why. For example, after eating this combination, I felt a bit of discomfort in my stomach. It wasn’t severe, but there was definitely some bloating and heaviness. Could it have been the bitter gourd and egg together? Or is it just unrelated? I’ve also heard that some foods, when combined, don’t digest properly according to Ayurveda. Could this be one of those cases? Does the bitter taste of the gourd and the heating property of eggs clash somehow? And if it’s harmful
