Uneasy
Combinations
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
|

mixed with an equal amount of clarified butter,
boiled or cooked honey
|

These
guidelines are by no means an exhaustive list. It

should consider nutritional value, constitution,
seasons, age and any disease condition.
