DID YOU KNOW?

Posted by danajoan on April 8, 2010

Dana J TurnerLet’s continue our discussion about food and nourishment from yesterday, shall we?

One very important habit that I have found works really well to aid digestion is “to sip warm water with all your meals”.  This is,  of course, to keep  your digestive fire or “agni” alive as we learned yesterday.  We need to keep that fire burning!

This may seem obvious, but you’d be surprised as to how many of us, do not follow this simple rule! “Eat only when you are hungry”!  Think of your capacity for food as an “appetite gauge” – where 1 on the dial means you are famished and 10 means you are  stuffed and completely full – -stop eating when you are satisfied or when your “appetitie gauge” is at about at a 7.

More tomorrow!

DID YOU KNOW?

Posted by danajoan on April 7, 2010

Continuing our discussion about how food is prepared makes an important contribution to the nourishment that food has on the body, there are several simple techniques that seem easy and obvious, but yet do we practice them every day??

“Sit down when you eat”.  How many of us are eating on the run, in the car or multi-taskng?  When you eat,  eat in a peaceful atmosphere. Chew your food slowly and deliberately.  It will go down much easier and nourish your body.

“Don’t eat when you’re upset”.  The mind, body connection is very powerful.  If you are angry, sad or emotional, your food will not be absorbed in the best manner possible.  Indigestion is a very probable result!

And lastly, for today, “reduce ice-cold foods and drinks”. As is true for all doshas, we have a fire burning inside us called a digestive fire or “agni”.  Eating or drinking foods that are too cold, will, just like water thrown on a fire, put out this digestive fire, and make your body more sluggish!

Did you know that the environment in which food is prepared and consumed makes an important contribution to the nourishing influence food has on the body?  By paying attention to a few simple techniques, you can help your system extract the highest levels of nourishment from everything you eat! 

Accordingly to the 5000 year old tradition of Ayurveda, there are many things you can do to avoid indigestion, acid reflux and most other digestive-related maladies.   I will mention several per day for the rest of the week so stay tuned!

The first rule,  and possibly the most important, is to eat freshly cooked meals whenever possible.  Reduce FLUNC (frozen, leftover, uncooked, nuked and canned) foods.

More tomorrow!

YOU ARE LOVED – ALL IS WELL

There is nothing for you to go back and live over, or fix, or feel regret about now. Every part of your life has unfolded just right. And so –now — knowing all that you know from where you now stand, now what do you want? The answers are now coming forth to you. Go forth in joy, and get on with it.
