Oh, this is interesting! So, you’ve discovered a tasty combo with eggs and curd, but yeah, Ayurveda does have some thoughts on food combinations. In Ayurveda, certain food combinations, like curd with proteins such as eggs, can be tricky. Although you didn’t feel any immediate issues, Ayurveda suggests these two are incompatible because they might confuse your digestive fire, or agni.
When it comes to digestion, not everyone’s system reacts the same way, right? Just like you said, some folks might experience things like bloating, gas, or an upset stomach after mixing certain foods. But feelin’ good right after eating doesn’t always mean it’s a long-term good idea. The idea is that these combos could affect your digestion subtly over time by messing with the balance of doshas. But not everyone agrees on the science behind it.
Eggs are mostly considered a sattvic (balanced) food, but when combined with curd, which is tamasic (heavy), this could slow down digestion. It’s like your insides can’t figure out what to do with contradicting signals. Sounds odd, I know! Whether it leads to immediate discomfort or long-term issues like sluggish digestion or so, can depend on your unique constitution or prakriti — vata, pitta, or kapha.
Regarding dairy and proteins, Ayurveda doesn’t completely ban them but advises caution. Different folks have different thresholds. If you’ve not felt anything off so far, maybe (just maybe) it’s okay for you - but listen to your body. If you’re curious, perhaps try cutting down on mixed meals like this and observe. If something seems off, Ayurveda encourages observing and adapting.
For future meals, enjoy eggs and curd separately. That’s less risk of putting your digestion to the test. Eggs in the morning and curd during lunch might be easier on your system. Just a friendly suggestion: making tiny changes and keeping tabs on how you feel can be super insightful! Feel free to bring more questions if something else pops up!
