Can We Eat Chyawanprash After Dinner - #3678
I started taking chyawanprash recently because my immunity has been really low, and I keep catching colds every other week. I usually take it in the morning, but sometimes I forget, and I’m wondering can we eat chyawanprash after dinner instead? The jar says it’s good for overall health and energy, but it doesn’t really explain when the best time to take it is. My routine is a bit hectic, and mornings are always rushed. By the time I remember, I’ve already had breakfast or I’m out the door. If I take it after dinner, will it still be effective? Can we eat chyawanprash after dinner without it causing any digestion problems? I know it’s made with amla and other herbs that are supposed to be good for digestion, but I worry it might feel heavy or interfere with sleep since it’s so rich. Another thing I noticed is that chyawanprash has sugar and ghee in it. If I eat it at night, will it affect weight gain or my metabolism? I’ve been trying to lose some weight, and the last thing I want is to add unnecessary calories late in the day. At the same time, I feel like it helps with energy and keeping my immune system stronger, so I don’t want to skip it altogether. I also struggle with acid reflux sometimes, especially if I eat heavy meals late in the evening. Can we eat chyawanprash after dinner if we have acid reflux issues? Is there a specific way to take it at night, like with milk or on an empty stomach? I’ve heard people say that warm milk helps absorb its nutrients better, but I don’t know if that’s true or just a tradition. Does it make a difference if the dinner is vegetarian or non-vegetarian? On nights when I eat something light, like soup or salad, taking chyawanprash doesn’t seem like a big deal, but after a heavier meal, I’m not so sure. I’ve also read conflicting advice online about whether chyawanprash should be avoided after meals altogether. Some say it’s fine anytime, and others insist it’s better on an empty stomach in the morning. Can we eat chyawanprash after dinner regularly, or is it better to stick to the morning? Also, are there specific conditions where it’s not recommended to take it at night, like diabetes or high cholesterol?
