Banana & Milk: Why Ayurveda Warns Against This Popular Combo
- •Many consume bananas and milk together for weight gain or in dishes like Shikran, but some doctors advise against it.
- •Ayurveda states milk is heavy and cooling, while bananas are light and digest quickly, sometimes being slightly sour.
- •Different digestion rates strain the digestive system, slowing it down and leading to fermentation, creating 'Ama' (undigested toxins).
- •This 'Ama' can cause gas, bloating, indigestion, and toxic effects, potentially leading to sinus issues, respiratory problems, and skin allergies.
- •However, Ayurvedic doctors note that adverse effects depend on individual digestive power; good digestion may prevent problems.
Why It Matters: Ayurveda suggests avoiding banana and milk together due to digestive strain and 'Ama' formation.
