Why should you add curd every day to your diet? | Dr Pal

Curd is made by mixing a carefully balanced blend of bacteria with warm milk and allowed to ferment for some hours. Bacteria converts the lactose to lactic acid and creates good bacteria in our gut. .

In a study, curd increased the short chain fatty acids called butyrate and there was significant decrease in this bad bacteria called Bilophila wasdworthia which causes Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

You should take curd every day if you are not significantly lactose intolerant. Usually curd is served as Raita for a biryani or as deep fried dahi vada - though curd in these options are good, we need to limit the high calorie food that comes along with it.

Why did you explain everything better than my professor? 😭✨

[MrCommentu]

Earlier when I used didn’t even think about GUT health!! But what ever food I eat I always think of it whether is this good for guy or not!! Thank you Doc!

[sarikadatta]

Dr. Pal. Thanks for much for your amazing videos
I now keep idli batter in my fridge pretty much all the time. I have curd rice every now and then. I luv South Indian food and prefers it over any other cuisine even when I am eating outside

I am a Punjabi and we fondly call South Indian food as
“MADRASI KHANA”

I lived in South India during my early childhood. That’s where I got the habit to have curd rice or at least curd to end my meal and I think that’s the best thing I have stuck with in my life. Now I live in Europe and some friends look at me with questioning eyes but I wish I could tell them how amazing it has been for my health.

When Dr. Pal talks about a food and eats it to show the food, you know that has got his approval 😄

[Jungkookiejeon]

I eat curd every single day as a South Indian. I love to eat it with tasty side dishes and vegetables. It just makes everything better.

Dr Pal, Im glad that you're from Tamil Nadu who became a well known gut doctor. I love homemade curd rice which is tempered with mustard, garlic, onion and curry leaves 😋
