Don't eat curd after having these vegetables, it may trigger acidity

Time of India4 days ago
Curd, also known as yogurt, is a staple in many Indian households. It's a versatile ingredient that's used in a variety of dishes, from raitas to marinades. However, there's a common belief that combining curd with certain vegetables can trigger acidity and other digestive issues.
According to dietary experts and Ayurvedic principles, combining curd with heating or heavy vegetables like onions, brinjals, radishes, tomatoes, and mushrooms may overwork the stomach, causing acid reflux, bloating, and indigestion. These combinations disrupt the natural balance of cooling curd and warming vegetables, especially in sensitive individuals. By understanding which pairings to avoid and when to consume curd, you can enjoy its gut-friendly benefits without the acid flare-ups.
Avoid eating curd after having these vegetables
While curd can be a healthy addition to many meals, certain vegetables are best avoided. These include:
1. Cabbage
Cabbage contains sulfur compounds that can react with stomach acids, potentially causing acidity.
This reaction may lead to discomfort, bloating, and digestive upset in some individuals.
2. Broccoli
Broccoli is another cruciferous vegetable that can cause digestive issues when combined with curd. It contains sulfur compounds that can interfere with digestion when combined with curd.

This combination may cause gas, bloating, and discomfort, especially in sensitive individuals.
3. Cauliflower
Cauliflower, rich in sulfur compounds, may cause gas and bloating when eaten with curd, disrupting digestion and leading to discomfort.
4. Onions
Onions are known for their pungent and heating properties, which can conflict with the soothing, cooling effects of curd, possibly leading to indigestion or increased acidity.
They are known to be difficult to digest, and combining them with curd can exacerbate digestive issues.
5. Garlic
Like onions, garlic can be difficult to digest, and combining it with curd can lead to discomfort. Garlic has a strong, heating effect on the body, which can clash with the cooling nature of curd, potentially causing digestive discomfort or acidity.
6. Radish
Radish can be too pungent and may cause digestive issues when combined with curd.
Its sharp, heating nature contrasts with curd's cooling effect, potentially leading to bloating and acidity.
7. Turnip
Turnip is slightly heavy and can produce gas, which may disrupt digestion when paired with curd. Its starchy nature and mildly pungent taste can clash with curd's cooling properties, increasing the risk of acidity.
8. Peas
While peas are generally easy to digest, they can cause issues when combined with curd in large quantities. This combination may lead to bloating, gas, or mild acidity in sensitive individuals.

No More Tears: Needle-Free Injections Arrive For City Kids

1 2 Nagpur: Fear of injections — especially among young children — is a common scene in clinics and hospitals. Even parents often dread the moment when their child has to be held tightly for a painful jab. But that fear might soon become a thing of the past, thanks to a new needle-less injection technique now introduced in Nagpur. On July 26, a major step forward in child-friendly healthcare was demonstrated in the city. Senior paediatrician and medical superintendent of Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH), Nagpur, Dr Avinash Gawande show the new needle-free injection system, which has already started being used for routine vaccinations in children. "This is a revolution in medical practice, especially for paediatric immunisation," said Dr Gawande. "The technique eliminates the pain, trauma, and fear associated with traditional injections." The needle-less injection device looks somewhat like a small hand-held gun. It works by pushing medicine into the skin using a high-pressure stream of air, eliminating the need for a needle. This method is not only painless but also avoids tissue damage and post-injection swelling caused by traditional syringes. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is this legal?

Currently, about 90% of the injections used in the standard immunisation schedule for children can be safely given using this method. Besides reducing fear, the needle-free system also brings added safety benefits. Since no sharp needles are used, healthcare workers are protected from accidental pricks, and there is minimal risk of spreading infections like HIV or Hepatitis B. According to Dr Gawande, this simple device could dramatically improve vaccination coverage and cooperation, especially in children, who often resist traditional injections. The method is currently being used for people aged 6 months and above. Trials are underway for even younger infants (6 weeks to 6 months), and positive results are expected soon. While slightly more expensive — costing Rs200 to Rs300 more than regular injections — the prices are expected to drop as the technology becomes more widespread. Needle-Free Injection: At A Glance * No needle, no pain – Uses air pressure to deliver the medicine through the skin * No swelling or tissue injury – Reduces post-injection discomfort * Safe for healthcare workers – No risk of accidental needle pricks * Child-friendly – Reduces fear and improves vaccination experience * Effective like traditional injections – Suitable for both intramuscular and intradermal delivery * Currently for liquid medicines – Works best for vaccines and other fluid-based drugs

Furnish data on malnutrition in 4 weeks: HC tells MP govt

Bhopal: A division bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court asked district collectors from across the state to file a status report on the malnutrition situation in their respective districts. The bench, comprising Chief Justice Sanjeev Sachdeva and Justice Vinay Saraf, gave four weeks for this purpose and issued notices to the state govt and the chief secretary in response to a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) moved by a resident of Jabalpur, Deepankar Singh. Singh, in his petition, said that there is an alarming situation in MP regarding malnutrition among its people, but the state govt keeps hiding this terrible state of affairs by 'manipulating' data. He requested the court to ask for a report on malnutrition from the state govt to know the actual state of malnutrition prevalent among the people in MP so that efforts could be made to tackle the menace of malnutrition, particularly among the children. He said that according to the Poshan Tracker-2.0 and National Health Survey report, MP stands second in the country in terms of malnutrition. Attributing this situation to poor implementation of schemes on health and nutrition, he said that weak, underweight, and stunted children are born in the state because of malnutrition. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like You will never turn off your computer again.

The petitioner said that among 66 lakh children in the age group of 0 to 6 years, 10 lakh are malnourished, and 1.36 lakh of them are severely malnourished. The prevalence of anaemia among women is 57%. It was also pointed out during the hearing that Rs 1.80 crore were paid as rent for anganwadi centres in Jabalpur district alone, but only a handful of children visit those centres. After the initial hearing, the court asked all the district collectors from across the state to furnish a report on the status of malnutrition in their respective districts within four weeks. Advocate Amit Singh Sengar and Atul Jain appeared in the case for the petitioner.

ICT Mumbai biocluster receives catalytic funding to boost translational biopharma research

Mumbai: In a significant boost to India's translational research ecosystem, ICT Mumbai's Biocluster secured Rs 30 crore in catalytic funding from the Indian Translational Research Institute (ITRI). The translational biopharmaceutical facility aims to bridge the gap between lab-stage research and clinical application. The eight-storey cluster will focus on rare diseases, synthetic biology, and AI-driven drug development. It will house a GMP-ready biologics pilot plant, shared R&D infrastructure, and advanced training zones for workforce development. Dr Ratnesh Jain, Principal Investigator of the project, said the Biocluster aims to make Indian biopharma globally competitive. ITRI CEO Dr Abdur Rub emphasised the need to de-risk innovation and scale healthcare solutions. Positioned as a national translational platform, the Mumbai Biocluster seeks to empower startups, academia, and industry alike—enabling faster, capital-efficient transitions from research to real-world impact.
