Incompatible foods according to Ayurveda
Melons must not be eaten along with grains, starch, fried foods, and cheese.
Chicken or fish should not be taken with milk, sesame, or sprouted grains. If combined so, it may lead to digestive problems.
Bananas must be avoided with milk, yogurt, or buttermilk. This combination may result in a fall in digestion and thus can produce toxins and also lead to colds, coughs, and allergies.
Along with or just after the meal, chilled or iced drinks must be avoided as the coldness declines digestive fire (Agni) and causes digestive problems and allergies.
Mixing ghee and honey in equal quantities is not advisable as it gives opposite reactions in the body. Honey has a heating, drying, and scraping action whereas ghee has a cooling, moisturizing quality.
Milk must not be taken after eating fish. Milk is a coolant product while fish has a hot potency. So if both are brought together they vitiate the blood and obstruct the body's channels.
Sweet and sour fruits must not be combined. Individual fruits should be preferred as a different meal.
Eating raw and cooked foods together is not advisable. The salad can be taken first and then after a short while the main meal can be taken.
Starch is incompatible with eggs, milk, bananas, dates, and persimmons.
Due to the antagonistic qualities of salt and milk, they should not be taken together.
Radishes should not be eaten in combination with milk, bananas, and raisins.
Vegetables like potato, tomato, eggplant, and chilli should not be combined with yogurt, milk, melon, and cucumber.
Eggs should not be eaten with milk, meat, yogurt, melons, cheese, fish and bananas.
Lemon should not be mixed with yogurt, milk, cucumber, and tomato.
Corn must not be merged with dates, raisins, and bananas.
There must be at least a 30-minute time gap between consumption of Holy basil and milk.
