But did you know that there are certain foods that you should never combine with milk. Here’s a list you must keep in mind, if you are fond of milk and milk based drinks.

This may sound shocking to most fitness enthusiasts who swear by Banana Milk shake to boost protein levels naturally, but this combination can be one of the reasons why you feel heavy, bloated throughout the day. The combination of banana with milk takes a long time to digest. Thus, experts suggest that it is best to enjoy these two protein rich foods separately to avoid any discomfort.

Combining two types of proteins is a bad combination and takes a toll on the digestive system. While fish is animal protein, when combined with milk protein it creates an imbalance. Apart from that, fish has a heating effect which mixes with milk and creates an imbalance, which causes discomfort, bloating and can often lead to skin allergies.

Mixing milk with sour and citrus fruits or ingredients is a strict “No’’ this is because the presence of vitamin C and citric acid in sour foods like orange and lemon when combined with milk can coagulate and lead to acid reflux, heartburn, upset stomach and allergies, chest congestion and cold cough to name a few.

Drinking milk right after eating radish can wreak havoc on the system, this is because radish gives warmth to the system and combining with milk can trigger heartburn, acid reflux and stomach ache. Thus, it is best to keep a gap of a few hours between the intake of these two foods.

If you have been relishing melon shakes and wondering what went wrong with your system, then blame it on the combination of these two. Mixing or blending fresh fruits is a bad idea as melons have diuretic properties, which when combined with laxatives and fats in milk can build up toxins in the system. This can trigger food allergies and also cause diarrhea.
