Curd And Chicken Together - #3700

Anonymously

I’ve been wondering about something I’ve eaten for years but recently became curious about—curd and chicken together. For as long as I can remember, my family has enjoyed having chicken with a side of curd, either as a marinade or just alongside the meal. However, I’ve heard some conflicting things lately about whether eating curd and chicken together is a good idea. I wanted to ask an Ayurvedic perspective on this to understand if it’s okay or if there are any side effects that I should be aware of. I’ve noticed that after eating curd and chicken together, I sometimes feel a bit of discomfort—like mild bloating or indigestion. This made me wonder if the combination of curd and chicken together could be causing an imbalance in my digestive system. Does Ayurveda suggest that combining dairy and meat could lead to digestion issues or cause other health problems over time? From what I’ve read, certain food combinations can create problems in Ayurveda, especially when it comes to balancing the doshas. Is curd and chicken together something that should be avoided for specific dosha types? For example, I know that pitta imbalance can lead to digestive issues, and I wonder if the acidity in chicken combined with the cooling nature of curd could cause any pitta-related imbalances. Could this combination aggravate any particular dosha, or is it an issue of digestion in general? I also heard that certain food combinations might create toxins in the body. Could curd and chicken together lead to the production of ama (toxins) in the body, especially when eaten regularly? I’ve been eating this combination without any major issues for a long time, but now I’m wondering if it could be contributing to my occasional bloating, skin flare-ups, or low energy. Another concern I have is about the impact of curd and chicken together on my metabolism. I’ve noticed that I tend to feel lethargic after meals that include both curd and chicken. Does Ayurveda have any recommendations on how to properly balance foods like curd with chicken for someone like me who seems to experience a bit of sluggishness after eating this combination?

In Ayurveda, combining curd and chicken is generally considered a poor food combination because it can disrupt the digestive process. Curd is considered heavy and cooling, while chicken is seen as heavy and heating, which can lead to an imbalance in digestion, particularly for those with a Pitta constitution. When these two are consumed together, they can create a conflicting effect in the body, potentially leading to indigestion, bloating, and the formation of ama (toxins). This imbalance might cause sluggishness, low energy, and digestive discomfort, as you've experienced. The combination may also aggravate Pitta dosha, which is responsible for heat and acidity in the body. For better digestion, it is recommended to avoid combining meat and dairy, as both require different digestive processes. If you enjoy this combination, try separating them, having curd at a different time or with meals that are more suited to its qualities, such as with lighter vegetarian dishes.
