Ayurveda focuses on qualities of food items and the impact those items have on our bodies and on our minds!
5-carbonated water is directly infusing the vata dosha into your body, that is to say, directly adding more air…. Air can be drying, anxiety provoking and can cause restlessness. The dryness in the body the over it can feel like the body is over exerting itself. If you need some flavor or want something fancy to drink, consider adding in some fresh fruit slices, cucumber slices or even mix your own herbal teas!
4- listen, I used to each cereal ALL the time. I would teach hot yoga on Sunday nights, I’d come home after 8, pour cold almond milk onto a bowl of dry cereal and dig in. Cereal, even with an organic label, is highly processed. The more processed, the less prana is present. And the less prana that is present, the harder it is for the body to recognize the item! Opt for a warm breakfast item like oatmeal instead!
3- canned fruits and vegetables are also processed and often they’re canned in less than optimal substances. Opt for fresh fruits and veggies. Frozen is better, but the water molecules distort the prana in the food.
2-frozen meals also are highly processed (and like above the water molecules distort tbe food and uing a microwave is less than ideal). Often, these will have a lot of extra sodium. I can understand the need of having a quick go to meal esp if you’ve got kiddos and are working full time. There are many simple ingredient/easy to make recipes you can make! Fresh, Whole Foods is always the best option!
1- I grew up playing sports and I’m back on the tennis courts coaching now. The best way to hydrate isn’t through Gatorade… it’s through eating fresh, seasonal fruits… and coconut water is a great option to hydrate. It’s cooling in the body but won’t kill digestion (like other cold substances), it has natural electrolytes and huge amount of potassium!
Consuming whole, prana rich foods will deeply nourish your body and mind! Eating seasonally takes this even further as you’re aligning with what nature already knows to provide!
Tell me below what you think of the list!
