Three milkshakes and smoothies that are actually ruining your gut and poisoning your body slowly.
30 ayurveetic lessons that changed my life. Here's the reason why. And here are the combinations you must never consume.
Number one, fruit milkshakes. It's quite popular to give your child an apple milkshake, a strawberry, or a banana milkshake thinking you're filling them up. You're not.
Proven in Ayurveda and modern science, fruits are a rich source of fruit acids like fumemericic acid, malic acid, tartric acid, ascorbic acid and citric acid. Just like how milk is incompatible with lemon because of the presence of citric acid that reacts with the lactase and the casein found in milk, it starts curdling and breaking down. You cannot consume lemon with milk.
Similarly, apple also contains malic acid. If you mix apple and milk and leave it on the kitchen shelf for 20 minutes, come back and see it starts curdling and starts turning black due to the oxidization process. It's just that these fruits react with milk a little more slowly compared to lemon and milk.
And then you see your banana milkshake. Banana and milk creates more mucus in the body which leads to more cold, cough, sinus symptoms in children. And strawberry milkshake is extremely citric and acidic in nature which can lead to accumulation of amma which is known as toxins in the body.
What does Ama do? Arma is a sticky toxic waste that starts building up in your body which inhibits your tissue metabolism, tissue growth. It breaks your gut lining barrier leading to leaky gut syndrome, IBS symptoms, diarrhea symptoms and the toxic waste can also start building up under the skin leading to skin allergies, psoriasis, eczema, rosaceia and urticaria. Arma is metabolic waste toxins that comes from wrong combinations of foods.
The second unhealthy combination is mixing fruits with leafy green vegetables to make a smoothie. You think you're doing your gut a favor, but you're actually introducing unhealthy pathogens and bacteria into your gut. Remember, leafy greens like spinach and kale are home to pathogens, unhealthy bacteria, tapeworm, tapeworm eggs, oba and le on the surface. Washing does not kill them. It enters your gut. It enters your bloodstream and creates havoc even in your brain.
Spinach and kale are also rich source of oxalates which causes kidney stones when consumed raw. It's best to keep your spinach, kale, leafy greens for a soup to have a dinner. Fruits should be eaten raw rather than being juiced.
Number three is mixing fruits with yogurt to make a smoothie again and adding some nuts and seeds thinking you're doing yourself a favor. Exact opposite. Remember fruits are a rich source of sucrose and fructose which are simple sugars. At the same time, yogurt or curd has active bacteria which is healthy but they start feeding on the sucrose and fructose leading to fermentation, gut dispiosis, bloating, gas, flatulence in your body.
It's best to separate these food groups. Chew your fruits with a handful of nuts to prevent sugar spike. Make a soup out of your leafy green vegetables and have your yogurt or curd with your lunch to enhance your good gut bacteria.
