Kadhi with Curd and joint pain: Myth or fact?

Social media claims

Lack of evidence

Dietitian Fauziya Ansari says there’s no proven link between eating kadhi and joint pain; more research is needed.

Lactose intolerance consideration

Kadhi may cause discomfort for those with lactose intolerance or sensitive stomachs but doesn’t directly cause joint pain.

Nutritional value of Kadhi

Dr Haricharan G says kadhi is rich in protein and probiotics, benefiting gut health, but often has high oil content that can be unhealthy.

Unhealthy additions

Deep-fried pakoras added to kadhi increase unhealthy fat content and calories, impacting heart health and weight management.

Blood sugar impact

Kadhi is usually eaten with high glycemic index rice, causing blood sugar spikes, which is a concern for diabetics.

Healthier kadhi tips

Use less oil, avoid fried pakoras, pair kadhi with brown rice or smaller portions, and add vegetables to improve healthiness.
