Monsoon has arrived in India. With the change in weather, many changes take place in the body, which affects our health. During this time, immunity can weaken, which increases the risk of catching cold and many other diseases.

According to Ayurveda, some things should be consumed with caution during changing seasons. Especially during the rainy season, curd should be avoided or consumed in very small quantities.

Why should we avoid eating curd in rainy season?

According to Ayurveda, consuming curd in monsoon can affect all three doshas of the body- Vata, Pitta and Kapha. It can weaken the body and cause many seasonal diseases. Here are some more reasons why it is better to avoid curd in monsoon-

Eating curd can cause these problems:

• Bad effect on the immune system

Ayurveda experts believe that consuming cold dairy products like curd during rainy season can weaken the body’s immune system. Consuming too much cold food increases mucus in the body, which can lead to poor stomach health and the body can fall prey to seasonal diseases and allergies. Therefore, one should avoid eating curd in this season.

• Respiratory problems

Let us tell you, eating curd daily during the rainy season causes mucus formation in the body, which can cause respiratory problems like cold, cough and congestion (congestion in the chest). The risk of diseases and allergies also increases due to moisture and humidity in the season. Therefore, eating curd is prohibited in this season. If you are an asthma patient, then do not consume curd at all in this season.

•  Digestive problems

According to Ayurveda, during monsoon, our body’s metabolism slows down and the digestive power weakens. Curd takes time to digest and is heavy. In such a situation, when the digestion process is already slow, consuming curd does not digest it properly, which can cause indigestion, flatulence and other digestive problems. Therefore, according to Ayurveda, consuming curd is not beneficial in the rainy season.

What is the right way to eat curd

If you want to eat curd in the rainy season, then it is very important to eat it in the right way. It is best to add a pinch of roasted cumin powder, black pepper and black salt or honey to it. By doing this, the cooling effect of curd is balanced and it helps in improving digestion and gut health.
