Banana and milk, two delicious and nutritious foods, are often eaten together. But according to Ayurveda, consuming both of them together can be harmful for health. Many people believe that mixing banana and milk can cause digestive problems like bloating, gas, indigestion and diarrhea. Let us understand in this article from the Ayurvedic point of view why the combination of banana and milk is considered harmful.
In Ayurveda, bananas are considered to have 'cold' and 'sweet' qualities, while milk is considered to have 'cold' and 'juicy' qualities. Mixing foods with different qualities together creates 'bad food', which is considered harmful in Ayurveda. It is believed that a bad diet impairs digestion, increases the accumulation of ama (toxins) and causes many health problems.
