I work with my patients on the combination of food for a healthy lifestyle. Its important to know combination of food items that we make/ consume is appropriate or not. There are lot of books available on the food combinations. Do your research for the food you eat. Ayurvedic literature discusses in detail about various food combination’s and food items if eaten together combine to act like poison in the body.

Did you know that  honey and desi ghee when mixed in equal quantities and eaten, acts like poison?
