Curd Myth: Monsoon Skips Not Needed

People in India often stop eating curd when it rains because they think it will make them sick.

Doctors say that the cold virus that gives you a cold is not caused by curd.

Curds and buttermilk are good for your tummy because they have helpful bacteria called probiotics.

These bacteria help keep your gut healthy and can even boost your immune system.

The real reason some people feel uncomfortable is if the curd is too cold or left out for too long.

Eating a normal bowl of fresh curd or a glass of thin buttermilk at room temperature is fine, even in the monsoon.

So you can keep enjoying curd without worrying about catching a cold.
