5 food combinations you must avoid

By Lahari Basu

1

Fish and milk

Ayurveda suggests avoiding the consumption of fish and milk together due to their opposing hot and cold properties, which can affect digestion and blood circulation.

2

Fruits during or after meals

Consuming fruits with or after meals can hinder digestion due to the fermentation of fructose with carbs and proteins, leading to stomach aches and discomfort.

3

Milk and citrus fruits

Pairing citrus fruits with milk can cause gas, acidity, and acid reflux due to opposing digestive properties, leading to fermentation in the body.

4

Melons and water

The high water content in melons, when combined with water, can disrupt the body's pH balance, resulting in stomach issues like nausea, acidity, and gut infections.

5

Water during meals

Drinking excess water with meals slows digestion, hinders nutrient absorption, and may cause weight gain, acidity, or bloating. Drink water at least 30-45 minutes after eating.
