For instance, how many of us are aware that we should not take fruits and milk or curd together? Ayurveda speaks of incompatible diet combinations which may contribute to toxins and ill health. I will attempt here to list a few food combinations you should try to avoid.
1. Avoid eating fruits along with starchy foods.
Bread, rice or potatoes should not be savored along with lemons, oranges, grapefruits, pineapples, tomatoes or other sour fruits. Fructose (fruit sugar) is digested quickly, whereas starch takes more time resulting in indigestion and related ailments. Instead, foods like tomatoes can be enjoyed with protein/fat foods like nuts, cheese and avocados.
2. Do not take cold beverages along with a meal.
Always sip lukewarm water instead.
3. Never take milk with citrus fruits, cheese or fish.
Always take milk and melon varieties alone. Warm milk is healthier than cold milk.
4. Avoid eating two concentrated proteins together!
Theory says that each protein has a different 'style' of digestion. So, don't eat meat protein and milk protein together.
5. Curd should never accompany egg, fish, meat, etc.
So forget marinating non vegetarian items in curd from now on. Neither should curd be cooked or taken at night.
