Should you eat curd/yogurt at night? {Health}

Swati · June 7, 2013 · 18 Comments

Well, so you would already be aware that dinner should be the lightest meal of the day! But since I miss a decently filling lunch, I miss all the important ingredients like curd and such which I make up for in my dinner.

But, few months back some body warned me not to eat curd at night. That was because curd at night in winters is extremely cooling for the body. Also, curd is heavy on the stomach and doesn’t get digested easily!
And for people suffering with sinus issues, curd at night can lead to congestion and breathlessness as it pours the toxins into the lungs (that is not quite literally right but a metaphor)! Also, it can interfere with sleep. 
Ayurvedically as well, one is suggested to avoid curd at night. But if at all you are interested in having curd, mix a pinch of pepper powder. That’s what I read somewhere! Also, it is best if you can manage buttermilk instead but curd mixed with sugar is a complete no no. 
Do you eat curd at night? I shall mix pepper powder from now on!!

    You are absolutely right. This is the right way to ingest curd at night, if at all.

    That is right. Ayurvedically pepper is slightly heating and is used to counter the coolness of curd. But it is good to avoid curd at night.

    A glass of buttlemilk(1 part curd and 3 parts water) after lunch is specially good for digestion.

    I tend to disagree here. Probiotics in yogurt were found to be effective in decreasing the intensity of sinusitis and common cold according to one study. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3560336/
    The ayurvedic doshas like kapha, pitta and vata are not supported by modern conventional medical science.

      hi Snehashish. I am sorry but I did not check any of the comments since long! And, thanks, for pointing me to the right source. ayurveda is a completely different branch of science and whether it holds any significance or truth is not really my area of expertise. I have written only about what it says.

    Earlier I dumped your theory on “how yogurt causes sinusitis” and made a comment on it. And to my surprise it got deleted. Knowledge and truth should be made open to the people. I am very disappointed. I only see those comments which are not against your hypothesis.

    i hardly eat yoghurt at night but during krishan janamastami i made dahi bara…bara consists of (freshly grinded chick pea, dhania leaves,curry leaves, garlic,ginger,cumin n sawf , green chillies n salt to taste) and in youghurt i added salt to taste, geera powder, little bit crushed garlic, daniya leaves ..i kept in refrigerator ate for one week at night it wz really good for my digestive system …

    i think mayb yoghurt itself not gud at night for ppl who suffering from sinus n inflammation

      hi Bhavik. you can have curd even at night. just make sure you add lots of black pepper and cumin powder to it so that it calms down the cooling effect. you can also have curd in the morning time just to be on the safer side!
