IS Curd Hot or Cold as per Ayurveda | Curd’s effect is hot or cold, know what Ayurveda says

Curd cold or warm for health: Most people feel that the effect of curd is cold, because eating curd in hot weather makes a feeling of coolness. To avoid the heat, a large number of people start eating curd and eat yogurt fiercely even during the rainy season. However, according to Ayurveda, the effect of curd is hot. Its taste may be cold, but yogurt goes into the body and produces heat. Especially when it is eaten by adding salt, its effect becomes more hot. This is the reason that it is advisable to avoid yogurt during the rainy season.

Dr. Saroj Gautam, Principal and Senior Ayurvedacharya of Prem Raghu Ayurvedic Medical College located in Hathras, UP, told News18 That it is absolutely correct that curd effect is hot. No matter how cold yogurt is eaten, but it produces heat in the body. However, by adding sugar, the effect of curd changes slightly and it becomes foodable. In Ayurveda, sugar is considered to be a cold effect, so when it is added to yogurt, it balances the warm effect of yogurt a bit. If curd is made buttermilk, then its effect changes a lot and it becomes drinkable in summer.

The doctor said that the monsoon is considered a sensitive season in Ayurveda. In this season, the digestive fire of the body becomes weak. In such a situation, consuming curd can be harmful. Therefore, eating yogurt should be avoided in the rain. If you feel more, you can eat once or twice a week. Eating curd during the monsoon causes many people to face acidity, sore throat, mucus, pimples or digestive problems on the skin. Especially at night is more harmful to consume yogurt, as it slows down the metabolic process of the body and increases the vata-cuff disorders.

Ayurveda does not recommend to avoid yogurt completely during the rainy season, but suggests its correct choice and methods of intake. It is more beneficial to drink whey ie buttermilk instead of sour curd. If you drink roasted cumin, rock salt, mint or asafetida in buttermilk, it is helpful in digestion and does not harm the body. However, those who have problems with sinus, cold, cough, asthma, skin allergies or digestion, they should avoid yogurt in the monsoon. People with children, elderly and weak immunity should pay attention to light, digestible and dried foods instead of yogurt.
