Digestive Tips
Digestive tips

Start each meal with a chutney of ginger, lime and a pinch of rock salt.

Chew properly to ensure that digestive enzymes get to work in the mouth.

Sip warm water with each meal but do not drink lots of fluids within an hour after finishing your food as this can weaken agni.

Eat in peace.

Do not eat when stressed, angry or depressed.

Eat with awareness; be aware of how your digestive fire is at that moment and eat appropriately for your constitution.

Stop eating when you are half full of food and a quearter full of liquid, leaving a quarter of your digestive capacity free for life-giving prana to circulate and help digestion.

Eat your food with respect for nature and the gift of nutritious food she has bestowed upon you. Give thanks to the creator of your meal.

Eat sitting down. Do not eat standing up.
