How to eat healthy with Ayurveda

“We are what we eat”, is a good old saying and probably the one rule all healthy people on earth are swearing by. But how about common people who love to eat French fries and burgers every other day, how they know, how to eat good. Ayurveda is a holistic approach towards well being with great emphasize on clean eating.

How Ayurveda is different?


Ayurveda is quite different from other lifestyle approaches as it declares every individual is different and their dietary needs are also very different. The importance is given to diet and nutrition is exceptional in Ayurveda and often, it is used to cure all kinds of diseases. In Ayurveda, conversion of food into nutrition is called Agni or fire in Ayurveda. However, in Ayurveda a vegetarian diet is preferred and eating freshly cooked meal is advising all the time. According to experts of Ayurveda Dubai, individual diet should consist of rich amounts of vegetables, whole grains, fruits and herbs and in order to get a healthy body, certain foods are avoided such as white flour, starchy foods and processed or frozen meals.

A good meal as suggested by Ayurveda usually includes adding different colors and all six flavors (savory, sweet, sour, bitter, etc.) in one-day meal. All these flavors, textures, and tastes will soothe all body senses and fill their everyday needs and provide healthy nutrients. Ayurveda discourages the use of meat (any kind) and consumption of alcohol and coffee.

Importance of herbs and spices:


In Ayurveda herbs and spices play a vital part in everyday meal and recipes. According to Ayurveda consumption of different herbs before, during and after the meal can bring healthy effects. Herbs are known to boost the digestive ability of a body. For instance, adding lemon into your diet before eating a meal can boost the appetite. Adding cinnamon to your meal can protect you from getting a heart attack, stroke and aid in digesting the food. Ayurveda suggests that eating spices are better when they are cooked so preferably add them when preparing your meal and enjoy the benefits.

How to eat according to Ayurveda?


Ayurveda emphasizes on eating according to your Dosha and suggests that every Dosha has different needs. Moreover, eating fresh fruits and vegetables or freshly cooked food can help in ditching different ailments. And if you will start living an Ayurvedic life you will enjoy a healthy life after receiving immunity from diseases, better digestion (poor gut can cause plenty of diseases), strength, better sleep and concentration. These are some great rules for healthy living and offered by a century-old lifestyle. How can we forget about the rage Paleo diet brought in western countries, but we cannot forget that Ayurveda is also centuries old practice that satisfies all natural needs of the human body? And also the diet pattern offered by Ayurveda is tastier than Paleo diet, but offer the same benefits. You can get bored with the Paleo diet because it just focuses on what you can eat while Ayurveda sync with your daily routine and help you in not only eating better, but living a healthy lifestyle.

Achieve Healthy Body with Ayurveda Cleanse

I am not ‘Alright’, I have heard this statement various times, but surprisingly many of us have no idea why we are feeling like this. However, Ayurveda helps you in determining what this is; in fact, this cleanse claims it something wrong is happening within your body. One of the major causes of such thing happens when the body is suffering with accumulated with toxins (both in gross and subtle way).

Ayurveda Therapies

It is really important to detoxify you’re your body on a regular basis to get rid of toxin build-up within the body. There are different reasons for toxin build-up within the body such as:

  • There is some problem in your digestions (its inability is leading to toxin build-up)
  • Improper bowl moment
  • External exposure to pollutant environment will also lead towards toxic build-up

However, with the help of Ayurvedic treatment the toxic build-up can be removed from the body – here are five important techniques that can help you in determining when your body needs detoxification. The busiest city like Dubai, Ayurveda therapies are one of the reasons to release your tiredness in daily hectic routine.

Thick coating on the tongue


Check your tongue regularly; it will help you in determining the inner health of your body. In case, you are seeing thick white coating (or yellow) it is an indication of toxins present in the body. If the coating is heavier and thick it means the deeper the clogging is I your system. To avoid this you can use a tongue cleaner that will not only clear the thick coating, but also detoxify the body.


Unexplained body aches


Do you remember those “Ahh,,, AOOOCH”, which suddenly come out of your mouth because of aches in certain part of the body, which is hard to explain why it is happening. However, muscle or joint pain can happen because of different reasons including injury, age or nutritional deficiency which must be evaluated by a medical practitioner. However, if there is no predictable cause of body aches it means that body has toxic waste which must be flushed. To do this it is better to start taking alkalize water and for better results consult your physician.

Lethargy after eating


This happens until I think almost with everyone that we feel lethargic after eating. Digestion is optimal for health as it helps the food to create energy rather makes it lethargic. But if it is not working properly, eating a full meal will make you lethargic and exhausted. And if it is happening on the regular basis, it means that your body is not digesting the food and toxic accumulation is happening within the body.

Foggy thinking


Lack of concentration or foggy thinking is also a result of poor digestion as your gut is not working right and everything around it cannot perform its regular tasks. A foggy thinking would be a sign of toxic build-up which must be removed from the body. On the other bad breath is another indication of toxic build-up even when you are brushing and flossing regularly. If your body is emitting pungent or bad odor, this is another sign of toxic build-up, go for detoxification.
