| Wrong Food Combination
|
The next important factor requiring attention in the planning of diet is the incompatibility of certain combinations of food that disturb the normal functioning of gastric fire and interfere with the equilibrium of the three doshas, thereby creating toxins (am) – the root cause of all ailments. A suggestive sample of the same is indicated below : |
| |
| Milk |
fish, meat, curd, sour fruits, bread containing yeast, cherries, yogurt |
| Melons |
grains, starch, fried foods, dairy products |
| Starches |
eggs, tea, dairy, bananas, dates, most fruits |
| Honey |
when mixed with an equal amount of clarified butter, boiled or cooked honey |
| Radishes |
milk, bananas, raisins |
| Nightshades |
potato, yogurt, milk, melon, cucumber, tomato, eggplant |
| Yogurt |
milk, sour fruits, melons, hot drinks, meat, fish, mangos, starch, cheese |
| Eggs |
milk, meat, yogurt, melons, cheese, fish, bananas |
| Fruit |
with any other food |
| Corn |
dates, raisins, bananas |
| Lemon |
yogurt, milk, cucumbers, tomatoes |
| These guidelines are by no means an exhaustive list. It must be remembered that a proper Ayurvedic diet should consider nutritional value, constitution, seasons, age and any disease condition. |
