Ayurveda Tips for You

For balance, well being, weight management and optimal health 

Use freshly prepared natural foods, made with wholesome grains, herbs, vegetables and fruits. Make home made vegetable broth and use it in your cooking instead of heavy oils or dairy products. For optimal digestion, reduce or eliminate the use of meats in your diet.

Chewing aniseeds or fennel seeds with coconut powder or cardamom seeds with sugar after a meal encourages the secretion of saliva and aids digestion. The mouth becomes refreshed and one feels joyful.

Include all the six tastes, sweet, salty, sour, bitter, pungent and astringent in all the meals, to create natural and nutritional balance and decrease cravings in between meals.

Certain foods are healthy when consumed alone, but when taken in combination with other foods, generate harmful chemicals in the body. (For example radishes or cucumbers should never be taken with water.)

Eating food at regular time each day is helpful in regulating the chemicals in the body.

Resting after lunch and walking after dinner is helpful.

Regular use of milk, yogurt, cheese or cream is good for one's health.
