Dr. Dixa Bhavsar Savaliya – a famous Indian Ayurvedic (traditional Hindu medical system) doctor said that curd has many health benefits and is also very good for skin and hair.

Curd also helps hydrate the body, boost immunity, strengthen bones, and is also an indispensable food if you are on a weight loss journey or simply maintaining your target weight.

According to Dr. Dixa Bhavsar Savaliya, traditional Hindu medicine also strongly supports this food, but also warns about the amount of curd that should be consumed by the body as well as the golden time to consume them.

Curd is sour in taste, hot in nature, difficult to digest (takes longer to digest). In addition, curd is good for weight gain as it increases fat, improves strength and energy in the formation of body structures like bones, muscles, tendons and aids in body metabolism and improves digestive power, explains Dixa Bhavsar Savaliya.

Ms. Dixa Bhavsar Savaliya also warns against eating curd daily and at night, as it can worsen your digestion and cause digestive problems if consumed regularly during this time frame.

In addition, Ms. Dixa Bhavsar Savaliya also noted that we should not heat curd, because this will cause the curd to lose many nutrients.

People with obesity, bleeding disorders and inflammatory conditions should also not consume curd.

Dr. Dixa Bhavsar Savaliya emphasizes that curd should not be mixed with fruits as these are incompatible foods. Long-term use can cause metabolic and allergic problems or affect the digestive system.

Besides, curd is also incompatible with meat and fish. Any combination of curd cooked with meat like chicken, mutton or fish will create toxins in the body.

She concludes by saying that “if you want to eat curd, do it occasionally, in the afternoon, and in moderation.”
