TO YOUR HEALTH
Ayurveda – An Intro... ...continued from page 75
When done properly, we are better able to develop our physical health as well as our consciousness as a whole. Here are some general principles to follow for good digestion. This is by no means a comprehensive list, but it is a good place to start. ● Eat sitting down in a relaxed posture, in a stable environment. Try to avoid eating on the go, in a vehicle, while standing, walking, etc. ● Focus on your food! When there is a meal in front of you, there is nothing more important in the world. Be intentional with every bite and consume with all your senses. See, smell, touch, hear, and taste what you are consuming. There is a lot more to it than we allow ourselves to experience on a normal day. Try to avoid working, reading, talking, watching TV, or engaging in any other activity while you are eating. ● Avoid overeating and eating overly heavy foods in large quan- tities. ● Avoid leftovers, processed foods, canned foods, expired food, and food with additives and colorings. ● Avoid ice cold water, drinks, and cold food. ● Eat warm, fresh, and properly cooked food. Cook it yourself if possible; this is always better as it allows you to connect and pour love into the food before you consume it. ● Make lunch your main meal. Eat a lighter breakfast and din - ner. Your digestion is at its strongest from 10am to 2pm, when the Sun is at its peak. ● Calm the mind before eating by taking a breath and giving gratitude. I hope you enjoyed this quick introduction into Ayurveda and di - gestion. I humbly encourage you to explore deeper into this ancient knowledge so together we may build a brighter tomorrow for the Chil- dren of the Future. Happy Healing. Adhithyan R.
