Apple With Milk Good Or Bad - #6432

Anonymously

I have a habit of eating fruits with milk, especially apples. For breakfast or as a snack, I often combine apple with milk because it feels healthy and filling. But recently, my cousin said that this combination might not be good for digestion. Now I’m confused – is apple with milk good or bad? I’ve never noticed any major issues, but sometimes I do feel bloated or a bit uncomfortable after having this combo. Could it be because of eating apple with milk? Does Ayurveda explain whether apple with milk is good or bad for the body? Also, I want to know if the timing matters when eating apple with milk. Is it better to have it in the morning, or can I also enjoy it at night? Could eating it at the wrong time make the combination worse? Someone also told me that mixing milk with certain fruits can aggravate doshas. Is this true? And if apple with milk is bad, what’s the proper way to eat them without causing any digestive problems? Lastly, are there other fruits that should never be combined with milk? I love experimenting with different fruit-milk combinations, but now I’m worried that I might be doing more harm than good.

Doctors’ responses

In Ayurveda, combining apple with milk is generally not recommended, as it can cause digestive issues for some people. Apples are light and astringent (Vata-pacifying), while milk is heavy and cooling (Kapha-pacifying). When combined, they may create an imbalance, leading to slower digestion or bloating, especially for those with weak digestive fire (Agni). While some individuals may not experience immediate discomfort, the combination can still disrupt digestion over time, particularly if you have a sensitive stomach or slower digestion. Ayurveda also advises avoiding fruit-milk combinations in the evening, as milk is considered heavier to digest at night. It's better to enjoy fruits and milk separately—fruits in the morning when digestion is strongest, and milk in the evening, possibly with spices like turmeric or cardamom. Certain fruits like bananas and citrus fruits are particularly known to not pair well with milk due to their contrasting qualities. If you want to continue enjoying apple and milk, try having them at separate times of the day to avoid digestive strain.
