Did you know that an apple a day may actually bring the doctor to your doorstep if eaten right after a meal? A list of common foods that don't complement each other.

Cereal and orange juice

The acids in orange juice destroy the enzyme that helps digest starches present in cereal. Also, acidic fruits or juices can curdle milk, turning it into a heavy mucus-like substance.

Melons and milk

Ayurveda states that while milk acts as a laxative, melons have diuretic properties - resulting in a clash of functions. Moreover, the stomach acids required to digest the melon make the milk curdle, causing gastric issues.

Fruits after meals

As fruits contain simple sugars that require no digestion, they do not stay long in the stomach - unlike other foods that are rich in fat, protein and starch. However, if you eat fruits after meals, the sugar therein is likely to sit in the stomach and ferment rather than get digested instantly.

Beans and cheese

Now, this is something you should keep in mind before entering a Mexican restaurant. When dairy cheese and beans are eaten with a hearty serving of guacamole and hot sauce, it is almost guaranteed to cause gas and bloating. Potent!

Ghee and honey

According to the precepts of ayurveda, it's a bad idea to combine equal quantities of ghee and honey (by weight). Why? While ghee has cooling properties, honey generates heat - giving rise to starkly opposite reactions in your body.

Tomato and cheese pasta sauce

Tomatoes, which are considered acidic, do not mix well with starchy carbs such as pasta. This already-cumbersome combo turns into a recipe for digestive problems when you add dairy to it. So, try pasta with grilled veggies instead. Published on: Jul 11, 2013, 12:00 AM IST Posted by: Navneeta N, Jul 11, 2013, 12:00 AM IST
