How to Live Healthy with Ayurveda?

Everyone living in Dubai and other metropolis cities want to stay healthy, but they are not clear about what to do? Ayurveda offers centuries old practices to stay healthy, all we need to do is to incorporate few basic practices in our daily life. Here are some of the most important, healthy yet very simple practices to follow.

Eat warm fresh food:

Stress, anxiety, and depression are the most commonly heard name of diseases which almost everyone today has to face every day. However, most of us don’t know that stress increase in adrenalin, which will disturb the digestive system. So, to avoid such issues it is recommended in Ayurveda to eat fresh and warm food as it needs less time to digest. In this treatment, warm food with slightly oily side will be a treat for your digestive system as it is healthy and needs less time in digestion.

It is recommended to eat fresh vegetables, and try to cook something fresh every day, avoid canned or processed food as it is loaded with salt and processed sugar making them hard to digest. On the other side, microwave ovens are also bad for your food as they take out the moisture of food and make it rough and hard to digest.

Getting good sleep

A good night’s sleep is the main pillar of a healthy body and according to this treatment, it is very important to protect your night’s sleep. It is believed that restless senses will lead to disease while a good rest will allow them to rejuvenate. However, sleep hours depend on the age too, for instance, babies sleep throughout the day while elders only need five to six hours per night. However, it is really important to sleep in the night rather leaving your sleep for late mornings. In addition to that, sleeping in the day is not recommended in Ayurveda Dubai as it may lead to gasses and blood flow. So, start making your routine and lay down for a good sleep around 10.p.m as this is the time of Kapha Dosha (heaviness, dullness and slowness) and it will make you feel sleepy, while waking up late will increase your pitta and keeps you awake.

Meditate:

Meditation is one of the most important way to keep your body, mind and soul healthy and on the lighter side. However, there are many ways to meditate and it isn’t important that how you do it, but it is important that you must do it every day. Start with making a commitment for 20 minutes twice a day and things will eventually fall in the right place for you and you will start enjoying its benefits.

Meditation will keep your mind healthy; as it helps you switch off your mind for deeper relaxation than sleeping. Over the time, you will see how it will benefit you as you will start making better choices and will enjoy a healthy life.

Spice Up Your Digestion With Ayurveda

A healthy digestion is a cornerstone of good health, but to maintain a healthy digestion in tough life of Dubai is really difficult. According to Ayurveda, a healthy digestion is a guarantee of good health. A good digestion nourishes the body and boost energy, while a sluggish, heavy feeling can dread your own existence.

Unfortunately, many of us living in Dubai suffer from digestion problems and our home cabinets are usually filled with antacids, probiotics, detox packs and heartburn pills.  Almost every pharmacy has a huge storage of digestive supplements.

Ayurveda cures

Ayurveda, an ancient holistic approach to health, offer time-proven tips on improving digestive health and help in keeping its health. Here is how it can help you in many folds.

Healthy food combinations:

Most of us know that eating healthy food will make us feel better, but eating healthy food in a wrong combination still form toxins and won’t digest easily because different food types need specific digestive enzymes. When we eat a different type of foods in one meal we push our digestive system to produce and secrete different digestive enzymes simultaneously. Eating a good mix of foods in one meal is not a healthy thing. For example, eating bananas with milk (a simple form is a banana shake) can diminish digestive fire, produce toxins and usually cause sinus congestion. This causes confusion in our digestive system and results in serious imbalances.

The good news is that Ayurveda helps you in eating good food; here are some healthy guidelines to follow:

• Avoid mixing milk or yogurt with citrus fruits as yogurt with fruits is not a healthy choice by an Ayurveda Dubai expert. The reason is hydrochloric acid in the stomach causes the milk to thicken.
• Eat fruits separately to get the maximum the most nutrients.
• Avoid mixing cooked and raw foods together.
• Melons should be eaten all alone.
• Do not eat milk protein and milk protein altogether.
• Do not mix fresh milk with other dairy products.

Add a lemon in your diet:

Lemon is nutrient rich vegetable as it is rich in Vitamin C, B, magnesium, calcium and phosphorus. Knowing it’s important, Ayurveda practitioners recommend taking a few drops of lemon in a glass of hot water every morning on an empty stomach. This lemon water has several benefits such as:

• It keeps the stomach healthy.
• Flush out toxins.
• Serve as a good liver tonic.
• Cure nausea, indigestion, heartburn, stress, high blood pressure and depression.
• It is anti-aging.

Treating ailments with ginger: 

Ginger is a blessing in disguise as it can be called as a universal medicine. It has lots of healing power in it and can cure many ailments such as constipation, cough, and chest congestion and detoxify the body. Ginger boosts digestion and neutralizes toxin as it is warm and spicy in its nature. Simply add it into soups, teas, rice and even in meat and chicken dishes.
