Can We Mix Apple With Milk - #5216
Recently, I’ve been experimenting with new breakfast ideas to make my mornings healthier and more nutritious. One combination I’ve been enjoying is having an apple with milk. But then someone told me that this might not be a good idea according to Ayurveda. It got me thinking: can we mix apple with milk, or is this a harmful combination? For the past few weeks, I’ve been having milk right after eating an apple in the morning. Some days, I even blend them together to make a smoothie. I haven’t experienced any immediate discomfort, but now I’m worried if this might lead to long-term issues. Can we mix apple with milk safely in any form, or is this universally considered bad? I’ve read that Ayurveda emphasizes food compatibility and warns against mixing certain fruits with milk. Does this mean I should stop having apples and milk together altogether? Or are there specific ways to consume this combination that are better? For example, can we mix apple with milk if the milk is boiled or flavored with spices like cardamom? Another concern is how I would even know if this combination is affecting me negatively. Are there specific symptoms I should look out for, such as bloating or sluggish digestion? I’ve also started wondering about other fruit-and-milk combinations. If apples are not ideal, are there better options, like bananas or dates? Or should I avoid fruit with milk altogether? I’d love to hear more about the Ayurvedic perspective on this and whether there are exceptions to this rule. Can we mix apple with milk occasionally without harm, or is it something I should never do?
