During the month of Shravan, the Vata component of a person gets higher in proportion. During that period, a person must avoid food that increases the Vata component. For example, green leafy vegetables contain higher amounts of Vata. Why do we offer milk to lord shiva
Thus a person is asked to avoid them during the rainy season (especially Shravan month) to avoid the ailments caused due to excess of Vata.
During the rainy season, the cattle also eat lots of green grass, and hence their milk is high in Vata and, in modern times, is susceptible
to viral infections. Hence, milk is considered harmful during the Shravan month. Thus Ayurved advises us against consuming milk during Shravan.

Science lies even before technologies. Before Vedic scriptures, what were the sources of attaining Vedic science? People in the ancient period gain knowledge from their forefathers or gurus verbally. Sanatan Dharma explained the birth of a human even before modern science and process-of-reproduction-explained-in-garud-puran
technologies. Garud Puran is one of the written scripture along with Vishnu Puran, Ramayan, Bhagwadgita.
