HOW TO BALANCE YOUR DIGESTIVE FIRE?

We believe in Ayurveda that " All diseases are caused by an under functioning digestive system"

There are few signs to look out for good digestive system .

* Notice how you feel before you eat,

* are you really hungry ?

* how do you feel after eating : heavy or energised?

Once you start allowing your inner intelligence to guide you ,then you will be more likely to find out what is healthy and right for you.

There are few easy ways which you can follow to achieve a good digestion .

1) look out for the sign of previous meal is digested before eating next meal. Leave 4-6 hours minimum in between meals. If you feel light and your breath is fresh then it's a right time to have your next meal.

2) keep drinking warm water or Herbal tea between meals. Try to avoid snacking in between meals.

3) start a meal with salty, sour, and little bit spicy flavours as these increases Agni.

4) Drink ginger tea to stimulate digestion.

5) Cook your food with spices like Clove,Black pepper,Ginger, Cumin, Cinnamon and Fennel. These are digestive herbs and you can eat them before meals as well.

6) Do not overeat or undereat as both disrupt your digestion.

7) Choose what is in Season and what grows in your own climate.

Move slowly with this awareness and learn at a pace that suits you.
