Can We Drink Milk After Eating Apple - #5932
I’ve recently been trying to include more fruits and milk in my daily diet, but I’m not sure if it’s safe to combine the two. Specifically, can we drink milk after eating apple? I’ve always thought of milk and fruits as healthy, but someone told me that mixing them can cause digestive issues like bloating or indigestion. Is there any truth to this? For example, I sometimes have a glass of milk about 10-15 minutes after eating an apple for breakfast. I haven’t noticed major problems, but there are occasional days when I feel a bit heavy or bloated. Does Ayurveda say anything specific about whether can we drink milk after eating apple or if this combination should be avoided altogether? I’ve also read that certain fruit and dairy combinations might create toxins or disturb the doshas. Does this apply to apples and milk? If this is not a good idea, how much time should I wait between eating an apple and drinking milk? Or is there a way to combine them, like adding spices to the milk or cooking the apple first, to make it easier on digestion? Lastly, I want to know if these kinds of rules depend on your dosha type. If I have a Kapha or Pitta imbalance, would that make it worse to drink milk after eating apples? I’d love to get some clarity on whether can we drink milk after eating apple safely and if there are any specific guidelines to follow.
