Watch what you eat


There is a great emphasis on diet in Ayurveda. This is because what you eat and more importantly, how you eat, has a direct effect on Ayurvedic treatments apart from your general health and well-being. Some of the diet-related tips that you need to follow while practicing Ayurveda include but are not limited to:

•    Start your day by detoxifying your system - Warm water with a few drops of lemon juice and honey is all that you need in the morning to detoxify your digestive system. Make it a habit of drinking this mixture on a daily basis. Not only does it help enhance your health, but also helps you effectively get rid of excess fat.

•    Make sure that you always sit down and eat your meals - Never combine it with standing, walking, driving or any other activity. It is also necessary to concentrate on your food while eating.

•    Have a meat, fish, eggs or other non-vegetarian preparation at home - Avoid consuming milk or milk-based products with them. Follow the same rule when you consume citrus fruits, alcoholic drinks, radishes etc.

•    Are you in the habit of eating cold food?  Don’t do that. Always eat food when it is warm and neither too cold nor too hot. This ensures better digestion. Also, avoid eating something hot immediately having a food that is cold in temperature.

•    Eat at the same time every day - When you put your body on a routine, the digestive gets accustomed to it and fares well (this tip also holds true for your sleeping pattern as well).

•    A lot of us take to binge-eating when feeling low. But this is a no-no according to Ayurveda. Food when eaten with a negative mind, will lose its effectiveness. Therefore, eat only when you have a positive state of mind.

Use the goodness of nature in your beauty regimen


Ayurveda is also crucial for beautiful skin apart from long, lustrous and healthy hair. Here are some tips that you can follow:

•    Fight tan naturally with these ayurvedic tips

Want to get rid of all that tan? Fret not, as you needn’t spend all your money on de-tanning spa or products but use something as simple as an orange! Apply freshly squeezed orange (or lemon) juice on your skin and it will effectively help you in getting rid of tan.

•    Prevent breakouts using these ayurvedic herbs
