Health Tips From Ayurveda
Drinking Hot Water
Drinking hot water regularly is a classical Ayurvedic recommendation for balancing Vata and Kabha dosha, strengthening digestive power, and reducing metabolic waste (Ama) that may have accumulated. Boil a sufficient amount of unchlorinated tap water or (still) mineral water in an open saucepan, for at least ten minutes. Keep this water in a thermos flask and take a few sips (or more, if you are thirsty) every half-hour throughout the day. It is the frequency rather than the quantity that is important here. To increase the positive effect you can add 1-2 slices of fresh ginger (or a pinch of ginger powder) to the water when boiling it.
Exercising for Good Health
Exercise is an important part of Maharishi Ayurveda but as with many good things in life, there is a limit to the amount of exercise that should be taken, and if one goes beyond this, the results will be negative rather than positive.
Do not strain the body in your daily exercise. Remain within 50% of your capacity When you begin to breathe heavily or perspire a lot, then you should stop or slow down.
Regularity is the key to success. A quarter of an hour each day is better than five hours once a week.
Do your exercise preferably in the mornings between 6 and 10 o'clock.
Follow a healthy diet, and support mind and body with Ayurvedic food supplements.
Observe the important relaxation and regeneration phase after exercise.
Practise Yoga Asanas regularly.
