Milk has long been considered a powerhouse of nutrition, packed with protein, calcium, vitamins, and essential minerals that strengthen the body and support overall health. For generations, it has been a staple in Indian households, often enjoyed on its own or paired with different foods. However, not every food goes well with milk. Certain combinations can do more harm than good, leading to digestive troubles, nutrient imbalance, or even discomfort.

Here are some common foods that you should avoid consuming with milk to maintain optimal digestion and overall well-being:

Citrus Fruits:

Citrus fruits like oranges, lemons, and sweet limes do not mix well with milk. The acidic nature of these fruits can curdle milk inside the stomach, often leading to nausea, stomach cramps, or uneasiness. A safe gap of at least two hours is recommended between having fruits and drinking milk.

Curd:

It is strongly advises to not to pair curd and milk. Whether consumed together or one after the other, this combination can disturb the stomach and trigger digestive issues.

Banana:

While many believe banana milkshakes are a healthy choice, the combination is actually very heavy on the stomach. It slows down digestion, leaving you feeling bloated, sluggish, and low on energy.

Melon:

Melons have high water content, while milk works as a natural laxative. Taken together, they can upset the digestive balance and lead to gastric problems.

Fish:

Fish is undoubtedly nutritious, but combining it with milk is considered harmful. This mix can cause food poisoning-like symptoms, stomach upset, or even skin problems.

Salted Snacks:

Chips, pretzels, or other salty munchies may satisfy cravings, but pairing them with milk can disturb the body’s electrolyte balance. It can result in bloating, discomfort, and an unsettled stomach.
