"Milk generally is a heavy food that causes sliminess in the body according to Ayurveda. If you have digestive issues, it is best avoided. If you consume milk, then have it without adding anything, boiled. If you love milk, and you cannot digest it well, try goat milk! It's easy and calming for the gut," says Ayurveda expert Dr Rekha Radhamony. (Freepik)
