Foods you shouldn't mix: 7 common combinations to avoid (2024)

Curd + Ghee

We all enjoy dahi with our ghee-topped paranthas. However, eating curd and ghee at the same time causes your metabolism to slow down, leaving you sluggish and lazy.

Tomato + Cucumber

When consumed frequently, these two common salad ingredients can cause bloating and acid formation because they digest in completely different ways.

Fish + Milk

Given that milk is cooling and fish is hot, combining fish and milk can create an imbalance that may result in chemical changes in the body.

Rice + vinegar

We all enjoy eating Chinese fried rice, but rice cooked with vinegar is a food that should not be consumed because the two foods have adverse effects on one another and the liver as a result.

Milk + Salt

We all love drinking chaas during summers, but mixing them disrupts blood purity and bodily channels; similarly, salt and milk clash, impacting health.

Water + Peanut

Having water after eating highly oil-containment like peanuts may cause fat to deposit in the food pipe, causing irritation and coughing.

Jaggery + Milk

Milk is cold, while jaggery is naturally hot, so the two do not go well together. Any sour additive to milk causes our stomachs to sit and produce acid, which causes a reaction.
