How Did Adharma Begin?
Maharishi Charaka said - "Adharma begins with overeating."
When we eat more than what our body truly needs, it leads to lethargy.
Laziness makes us avoid our duties and responsibilities.
Slowly, we look for shortcuts to achieve what hard work once gave us leading to cheating, lying, and moral decay.
Thus, Adharma doesn't begin with crime it begins with the extra bite you don't need.
Healthy Food Tips:
1. Eat only when hungry - True hunger is the body's signal, not the clock's.
2. Leave one-third of your stomach empty - Follow the rule: 1 part solid + 1 part liquid + 1 part empty (Charaka Samhita).
3. Eat seasonal, local, fresh food - They balance doshas naturally.
4. Observe regular fasting (Upavasa) - Helps reset digestion, Reduces toxins (Ama), Enhances mental clarity and self-control
Try weekly or fortnightly fasting, or follow Ayurvedic light fasting (Laghu Bhojana).
5. Avoid reheated, stale, or heavy food at night - They increase Ama (toxins) and Tamas.
6. Sit and eat with full attention - No screens, no scrolcrime.
7. Start with light foods like fruits or salads when very hungry - they awaken Agni.
8. Include herbs like ginger, black pepper, and cumin - they improve digestion naturally.
