Dietician, Diabetes Expert - Answered on Mar 10, 2026

Asked by Anonymous - Mar 02, 2026Hindi
Health
I’ve grown up hearing from elders that mixing fruits with milk is bad for digestion and can cause stomach problems or skin issues. They always say fruits should be eaten separately and never combined with milk. But at the same time, I see so many people having fruit milkshakes, banana shakes, mango shakes, and smoothies every single day without any problem. Even gyms and diet plans recommend fruit smoothies as healthy breakfast options. This makes me really confused. For example, if I drink a banana milkshake in the morning, am I harming my digestion? Or if I blend mixed fruits with milk and nuts for a quick breakfast, is that actually unhealthy? Some people also say it can cause acidity or slow digestion, while others claim it’s a good source of protein and vitamins together. So what is the actual truth? Is mixing fruits with milk genuinely harmful for everyone, or does it depend on the type of fruit, body type, or digestion strength?
Ans: For most people, mixing fruits with milk is perfectly safe, healthy, and easy to digest. The idea that it causes acidity, toxins, or skin issues is a traditional belief, not a medically proven fact. There are a few specific situations where someone might feel bloated or gassy like those with lactose intolerance or may feel heavy for some people who have a sensitive stomach. Banana, mango, chickoo (sapota), dry fruits, berries (for most people) are traditionally and scientifically easy to digest with milk. Fruits that don’t pair well with milk for some people can include citrus fruits (orange, lemon, grapefruit), pineapple, sour berries, etc.

Financial Planner, MF and Insurance Expert - Answered on Mar 09, 2026

Hi, Myself Raj Banerjee aged 48 years. I am single. I work as IT professional and currently facing some challenges in job. Our current annual expense in approximately 12L. I have small house and do not plan / aspire for any more real estate. Till now I have been able to accumulate 7.2cr all in Bank FD, 80L in PF, 18L in PPF, 15L in stocks and gold (50:50 split). I do not have any Life Insurance but have medical insurance for myself (5L retail policy + 8L corporate policy). I am requesting help that assuming if I lose / leave job immediately how to plan the corpus / investment so that I can generate income from investment and plan for living till 90 years.
Ans: Hi Raj,

You have built a very strong base at your age. I understand your concern regarding job uncertainity and it is rather wise to be prepared for the worst. LEt us discuss everything in detail.
> You have 7.2 crores in FD. This entire amount needs to be reinvested in debt mutual funds. This way, the tax on FD interest can be saved. Debt mutual funds provide similar return of FD.
> You also have 80 lakhs in PF - can be of instant use in casr of a job loss.
> 18 lakhs PPF - again a good debt investment with tax benefit. Continue.
> 15 lakhs in gold and stocks. The allocation here can be increased. Can consider investing 50% of FD amount in equity and hybrid mutual funds. Avoid direct stock investment as these require in-depth knowledge and analysis.
> Medical policy cover is quite less. Take a super top up policy of 1 crore keeping in mind the rising medical cost.

In case of any job loss, you can easily manage your expenses forever (inflation adjusted).
Keep only 50 lakhs in FD. Move rest amount in mutual funds - debt, hybrid and equity.

Take a professional's help and do this right away to get maximum tax and return benefit.

Hence do connect with a professional Certified Financial Planner - a CFP who can guide you with exact funds to invest in keeping in mind your age, requirements, financial goals and risk profile. A CFP periodically reviews your portfolio and suggest any amendments to be made, if required.

Let me know if you need more help.
