Avoid taking milk or yogurt with sour or citrus fruits. Avoid eating fruits together with potatoes or other starchy foods. Fructose (and other sugars) is digested quickly, whereas starch takes some time to digest. Avoid eating melons and grains together. Melons digest quickly whereas grains take more time.

Melon should be eaten alone or not at all. Honey should never be cooked. Honey digests slowly when cooked and the molecules become a non-homogenized glue that adheres to mucous membranes and clogs subtle channels, producing toxins. Uncooked honey is nectar. Cooked honey is poison. Do not eat meat protein and milk protein together. They counteract one another, disturb agni and produce ama. Milk and melons should not be eaten together.

Milk is laxative and melon is diuretic, and milk requires more time for digestion. Moreover the action of hydrochloric acid in the stomach causes milk to curdle. For this reason Ayurveda advises against taking milk with sour fruits, yogurt, sour cream, cheese, and fish. Ayurveda insists that iced water should not be drunk during or after a meal as it slows agni and digestion. Small sips of warm water taken during the meal serves to aid digestion. While eating one should properly masticate the food in order to soften it and ensure that it is thoroughly mixed with saliva. If desired, one can end a meal by drinking a cup of lassi (or takram). This can be prepared by blending four teaspoons of yogurt with two pinches of ginger and cumin powder in one cup of water.

When eating, only one third of the capacity of the stomach should be filled with food, one third with liquid and one third should be left empty. This will aid in proper digestion and promote mental clarity.
