Can Apple And Milk Be Taken Together - #3596
For the past few weeks, I’ve been experimenting with different healthy breakfast options. One of the combinations I’ve started having is apple slices with a glass of warm milk, thinking it’s a simple and nutritious way to start my day. But recently, someone told me that this might not be a good idea according to Ayurveda, and now I’m confused. Can apple and milk be taken together, or is it something I should avoid? I’ve heard that Ayurveda has strict guidelines about food combinations and that some combinations can disturb digestion. Is there any truth to this? I haven’t noticed any major issues since I started eating apple and milk together, but I do feel a bit bloated sometimes in the mornings. Could this be because of combining apple and milk, or is it unrelated? Also, I’d like to know why Ayurveda would recommend against eating apple and milk together, if that’s the case. Is it because of the properties of the two foods? I read somewhere that milk is heavy and apple is light, and they might not digest well when eaten together. Is that correct, or is there more to it? If apple and milk can’t be taken together, are there ways to modify how I eat them? For example, would it be okay if I waited some time between eating the apple and drinking the milk? Or are there certain spices, like cinnamon or cardamom, that can help improve digestion when combining apple and milk? I don’t want to give up this breakfast entirely if there’s a way to make it work. Lastly, if this combination is bad, what are the symptoms I should look out for? I’ve been having some mild gas and acidity occasionally, but I’m not sure if it’s from this or something else in my diet. Should I completely avoid mixing fruits and milk in general, or is it just apple that’s a problem? Looking forward to some clarity on this, as I’m trying to stick to healthy habits without unintentionally harming my digestion.
