Is Intake On Curd On Empty Stomach Advisable?
Question: Is it good for health specially for persons having heart diseases if we take pure curd (no added salt or sugar and no water) daily in the empty stomach in the morning.
Brief Answer:
Not advisable for daily intake
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
As curd made for a good quality milk is a rich source of calories in the form of fat and cholesterol so it's not advisable for a elderly person especially with heart disease.
The cholesterol content in it can lead to increase in serum cholesterol which itself is a risk factor for coronary artery disease.
So its not advisable to consume curd on a daily basis especially for a heart patient.
Hope this information will be helpful.
Kind regards
