A bowl of fresh and creamy curd topped
with some chopped fruits is one the simplest joys of life. Apart from
being a perfect meal accompaniment, curd also has a whole lot of health
benefits. Loaded with calcium, vitamin B-2, vitamin B-12, magnesium and
potassium, it's also easy to digest.
But not many people know
that curd should not be paired with certain food items. Pairing curd
with the wrong food item can be harmful to your health. Here's a list of
5 foods items curd should not be consumed with.
Onions
If you like to have onion curd raita, you
need to change this habit. This is because as a food item curd is cold
in nature, while onions produce heat in the body. The combination of
this hot and cold can cause skin allergies like rashes, eczema,
psoriasis and other issues.
Mango
A bowl of curd with chopped mangoes makes
for a perfect dessert. However, just like onion and curd, mango and curd
also create heat and cold in the body, which can cause several problems
including skin issues, toxins in the body and more.
Fish
It is often suggested not to team up two
protein-rich sources together. Ideally, you can pair a vegetarian source
of protein with an animal source of protein but never pair a vegetarian
source with another vegetarian source or a non-veg source with another
non-veg source.
Curd is derived from animal milk and fish is also a non-vegetarian protein-rich source.
This can lead to indigestion and create other stomach related issues.
Milk
Milk and curd are two animal protein sources
and thus should not be consumed together. Consuming these two together
can lead to diarrhea, acidity and gas.
Urad dal
Urad dal when consumed with curd can disrupt
your digestion in the long run. It can lead to acidity, gas, bloating
and even diarrhoea.
Oily foods
We all love to have our ghee loaded
paranthas with dahi. The combination of oily fried foods with dahi slows
down the digestion and makes you feel lethargic.
That is the reason when you have chole bhature with a glass of lassi (made from dahi), you feel super sleepy.
