Ayurveda has a long tradition of purifying not only our
body, but our mind as well. Of late, Ayurveda has emerged as something that can
really work wonders for the wholesome wellness of one's body. We used to flock to medical stores frequently
to purchase the medicines that has been playing with our believes for quite
some time now. Well, with a long tradition that dates back over 5000 years
since now, Ayurveda arguably is one of the most effective and trusted sources
for your health problems.
Losing weight has always been one of the most important
needs of most of the people for the past some decades in our country. With a
perfect blending between the right type of food and a mind for perfection can
definitely keep your most dreaded enemy at a distance. The following are some
of the tips that were dealt in the Ayurveda books and are advised to be
followed.
1. Start the day
with freshness: This has a lot to do with our body and mind. Rise early,
along with the sun. Following some simple Yoga exercises and meditating for
five minutes have proved to work wonders. After all, losing stress means a lot
to losing weight as well.
2. Have some fun
with warm lemon water: It's a common knowledge that drinking a glass of
warm water with lemon in it will stimulate the bowels. As it has nothing to do
with acidity or the kind of some false believes roaming around, you can dare to
drink a glass of warm lemon water in the morning in order to start the day in
style.
3. Control
unwanted hunger: It is a well said truth that one who eats once in a day is
a Yogi. However, you are not asked to skip the rest of the meals here. But, it
has to keep in mind that you could definitely skip unnecessary snacks that eat
up your free time in between the regular meals. So, it is always good to have
just three meals a day.
4. Don't spice it
too much: It has so far turned out to be our tradition to add more spice into
our food. We all like to have crispy - spicy - tasty foods. It is better to
keep in mind that you could have tasty food even without making the food red
hot with various spices. Accommodating all the traditional tastes, such as
sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter and astringent, in your food can help your
digestive system in a big way. All of these tastes are categorized into
'anabolic' and 'catabolic' - quite essentials for our body.
5. Medium - Large
- Small formula: Start off the day with a medium meal i.e., breakfast. For
lunch, you are entitled for a large meal. However, don't misunderstand this as
license to something that is extra large....! For dinner, as it you might have
heard, make it small and short.
6. Walk - rest -
walk: Well, this has proved in the past...! Many of us must have heard
about the tradition of taking some short walks just after your meals at breakfast
and supper. In the mean time, you are advised to take a short nap for 10
minutes while after the lunch (lie towards the left side).
As is said before, all these have been the things that
were repeated thousand times by ancestors to younger generation. It is really
important to have a look down at the past in order to have a bright future up
before.
