We offer curd rice to Lord Ganesha. Similarly, the Brahmin community savors curd rice. And now, the suitable aspect of it has been established.

In the oldest science known to the world, Ayurveda, the foolproof method of human nutrition has been revealed. According to it, consuming curd rice has been recommended as part of ancient dietary practices. Have you ever thought about the reasons behind this?

The human body contains an essential chemical called tryptophan, which is found in curd.

However, the surprising fact is that this chemical is not produced within the human body. This means that we obtain this chemical from the things we consume. When combined with other components in the body, such as serotonin and melatonin are produced. Among these, serotonin is particularly beneficial for cognitive function. It positively affects mood, sleep quality, and memory.

Tryptophan needs to reach the bloodstream to enhance its cognitive abilities. This process is not as straightforward as other chemicals. To facilitate this, tryptophan needs to be accompanied by carbohydrates. Carbohydrates help tryptophan reach the bloodstream, and this is not as easy for other chemicals. For this reason, it is necessary for tryptophan to be consumed with carbohydrates. Carbohydrates assist in the breakdown of tryptophan, allowing it to reach the bloodstream.

The main reason is that rice has a higher proportion of carbohydrates. Consequently, consuming curd rice helps in the increased production of serotonin in the bloodstream. This, in turn, aids in enhancing the cognitive abilities. Therefore, when discussing dietary practices, a bit of curd rice...
