According to Ayurveda, even the freshest, healthiest, most nutritious ingredients, if improperly combined, can cause digestive problems, toxicity, even allergies. Milk and bananas, for example, are said to be incompatible at the same sitting. This evening we will explore Ayurveda’s approach to food combining, one that takes into account each food’s taste, energy, and post-digestive effect, and also learn how to use spices to strengthen digestion. Divya will share these guidelines in a way that’s easy to understand and to put into practice, so that we can transition to a diet with proper food combinations, which can dramatically improve our digestion, health, overall wellbeing, and our entire experience with food.
