Can I Eat Curd After Eating Chicken - #5936
I recently started including more protein in my diet, and chicken is one of my main choices for lunch or dinner. At the same time, I’ve been eating curd with meals because I’ve heard it’s good for digestion. But now I’m wondering: can I eat curd after eating chicken, or is it a bad combination? Sometimes I feel a bit bloated or heavy after meals where I have both chicken and curd, and I’m not sure if it’s related. Does Ayurveda say anything specific about whether can I eat curd after eating chicken? I’ve read that mixing dairy with meat might create toxins in the body or disturb digestion. Is this true for all types of meat and dairy, or just certain combinations? I’m also curious if timing matters. If I wait an hour or so after eating chicken to have curd, does that make it safer? Or should I avoid the combination completely? Some people have suggested adding spices to curd to make it easier to digest, but I don’t know if that solves the issue. Lastly, does this depend on your dosha type? I have a Kapha-dominant constitution, and I’ve read that Kapha types might have more trouble digesting heavy meals. Would this make the combination of chicken and curd worse for me? I’d love to know if there’s a way to safely enjoy both or if I need to choose one over the other.
