Ayurveda guides in to food and nutrition quite well. In fact prevention of the disease is the first goal of the Ayurvedic science. Ayurveda very clearly mentiones food as one of the three pillars of health. Ayurvedic classic texts explain deeply about the food and dietetics. Though this science does not talk about calories and nutrients; it clearly explains on various grains, dairy products, fruits, etc., very clearly. Combinations of foods is is one of the important sections.
In modern science we are able to know about calories and amount of nutrients to be taken. Ayurveda also emphasizes upon the measured food for every one. In fact, measured food and exercises are mentioned as the most healthy lifestyle.
In last post we knew about the combination of fruits and milk. Milk is nutritious but wrong combination can destroy its great virtues. Another common combinations with milk is with chapati and khichadi.
In many families milk or tea and chapaties is a common breakfast. Chapati with tea or chapati and milk are favorite combinations in many families. Old people prefer this combination as they can not chew properly. These combinations are heavy to digest and can cause indigestion and acidity in a long run. Chapatis must be taken with sabji or daal. Or it can be taken with jagery ghee also. Occasionally taken with Basundi, rabadi, khir, etc does not harm. But when it becomes a regulare item in the food it causes problem in digestion.
