Why Shouldn’t We Eat Curd At Night - #5114
I’ve always loved eating curd, and it’s a regular part of my meals. However, I recently heard that it’s not good to eat curd at night. This has left me wondering why shouldn’t we eat curd at night, especially when it feels soothing and helps with digestion during the day. I usually have curd with my dinner, either plain or mixed with rice. While I’ve never noticed any immediate issues, some people say eating curd at night can cause mucus buildup or lead to digestion problems. Is this why we shouldn’t eat curd at night? Another thing I’m curious about is whether this applies to everyone or only certain body types. For example, does Ayurveda suggest avoiding curd at night for people with a Kapha-dominant constitution, or is it generally bad for everyone? I’ve also heard that warming curd slightly or adding spices like black pepper can make it easier to digest. If that’s true, does this mean curd is acceptable at night if prepared this way? Or should it still be avoided? If you knows why shouldn’t we eat curd at night or has had personal experiences with this, please share your insights. Should I completely stop eating curd at night, or are there exceptions to the rule?
