Do you eat orange immediately after drinking milk? This healthy habit of yours can become the home of diseases

News India Live, Digital Desk: Often, in the pursuit of improving health, people make some mistakes which cause huge losses instead of benefits. One such common mistake is consuming citrus fruits with milk. Many people drink orange juice with milk for breakfast or mix milk and citrus fruits together in fruit salad.

This combination sounds very healthy, but do you know that from Ayurveda to modern science, both consider this habit as an enemy of health? This is not just a saying, but there are solid scientific reasons behind it.

Why is the combination of milk and sour fruits like ‘poison’?

1. Ayurveda’s perspective: It is an ‘anti-diet’

In Ayurveda, the thousands-year-old Indian medical system, some food combinations have been called ‘Viridhu Aahar’. This means, such food items, when eaten together, upset the balance of doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) in the body and weaken the digestive fire (Jathragni).

• Different types: Milk has a cooling nature and is sweet in taste, while sour fruits (like orange, lemon, pineapple) have a hot nature. When these two things of different nature are mixed together, it has a bad effect on our digestive system.
• Toxic elements are formed: Due to this wrong combination, the food is not digested properly and starts rotting in the stomach, due to which poisonous elements (Ama) start forming in the body.

2. What does science say?

Science also confirms this. Milk contains a protein called ‘casein’. When you eat any sour fruit with or immediately after milk, the acids present in the fruit (such as citric acid) enter the stomach and tear the milk.

Imagine, just as you add lemon to milk to make cheese and the milk curdles, the same process happens inside your stomach. This curdled milk forms huge clots in the stomach, which becomes very difficult for our digestive system to digest.

This wrong habit can cause these problems:

• Stomach heaviness, gas and acidity
• vomiting or indigestion
• Allergy, itching or rash on the skin
• cold, cough and increased mucus
• Weakening of the digestive system if done for a long time

What is the solution?

According to experts, between eating milk and citrus fruits at least an hour apart It is very important to keep. If you have drunk milk, eat any sour fruit only after an hour. Similarly, if you have eaten sour fruits, then wait for at least an hour and consume milk.

So next time you drink milk, avoid making this mistake in terms of taste or health. This small precaution can save you from many big health problems.
