Milk is often called a perfect food because it has protein and calcium, and everyone knows it's good for you. According to Ayurveda, milk from cows can help balance body energies called Vata and Pitta, making you stronger and healthier. But when should you drink milk to get the most good from it? Ayurveda says drink milk about half an hour before you go to bed. This is when your body starts to calm down, so it can take in the good stuff from the milk better. Milk has a thing called tryptophan, which can help you feel less stressed and sleep better.
Points To Remember:
- Make sure the milk is warm before you drink it.
- You can put in turmeric, cardamom, or ginger to make it even better.
Combinations to Avoid:
- Don't drink milk with:
- Honey or salt
- Fruits that are fresh or sour
- Foods that are salty
These mixes could mess up your stomach or cause problems with your skin.
Who Needs To Be Cautious?
- People who can't handle lactose should stay away from milk completely.
- People who have trouble digesting food or often get a cold and cough should not drink cold milk.
These people might find milk with spices or herbs easier on their stomachs. It is always best to talk to an Ayurvedic doctor to get advice that is right for you.
