Milk And Apple Together - #4040
I’ve recently been trying to improve my diet and start eating more whole foods, especially fruits and dairy, which I’ve always enjoyed. One of my favorite snacks is eating an apple with a glass of milk. However, after some research, I came across some conflicting information about whether it’s okay to have milk and apple together. Some people say it’s not a good combination, but others claim it’s fine. I want to know from an Ayurvedic perspective milk and apple together, is it beneficial or should it be avoided? I’ve always enjoyed this combination, especially in the morning. It’s refreshing and filling, but lately, I’ve been experiencing some bloating and slight digestive discomfort after eating it. Could this be due to the combination of milk and apple together? From an Ayurvedic standpoint, I know that combining certain foods can affect digestion, so I’m wondering if the combination of milk and apple together is one that should be avoided for better digestion and overall health. I’ve heard that milk and apple together might not mix well because apples are said to be cooling, and milk can sometimes be heavy or too rich. Could this imbalance be affecting my digestion, and if so, what would Ayurveda suggest as a better alternative to get the benefits of both fruits and dairy? Are there specific dosha types that should definitely avoid milk and apple together, or is it something everyone should be mindful of? Another point I’m curious about is whether the timing of eating milk and apple together matters. For example, would it be better to have them at different times of the day instead of as a single meal or snack? If I switch to eating my apple alone and then have milk later, would I still get the benefits, or would this be less effective than eating them together at the same time? I also want to know if there’s a particular way to prepare milk and apple together that might make it easier for my digestion. Should I consider adding spices like cardamom or cinnamon to improve digestion, as Ayurveda often suggests for food combinations? Lastly, if milk and apple together is not ideal, what would be a good alternative that still satisfies my craving for a combination of sweet and creamy? Are there fruits or other dairy combinations that are recommended in Ayurveda for better digestion and overall health?
