Ayurvedic Diet 

How we eat is as important as what we eat. A nutritious diet eaten properly in a settled environment helps the digestion system do its work smoothly. Foods that are natural and pure offer the most valuable nutrition while the ones genetically altered, processed or refined have much of their nutrition stripped off. 

    • Avoid bingeing on anything immediately after having your lunch or supper. Let the food settle and digest perfectly.

    • Cut off the foods that are too sweet or fatty.

    • Avoid ice-cold drinks as they disrupt the digestive fire and hinder the assimilation of vital nutrients.
