In Ayurveda, water or Jala, is considered one of the pancha mahabhutas or five great elements. It plays a vital role in maintaining your overall health and function.

Boiled water, known as "ushnodaka" in Sanskrit, is used as an everyday medicine. We aren't boiling to necessarily remove impurities. Water is typically cold and heavy, which is hard to digest. Boiling water makes it warm and light, which is easier to digest.

Here's why ushnodaka is hailed as a potent remedy:

1️⃣ Improves Agni: The digestive fire, known as "agni", is vital for proper digestion. Drinking boiled water stokes agni, aiding in efficient digestion and metabolism.

2️⃣ Reduces Ama: Ama is the accumulation of undigested or unmetabolized substances in the body, often seen as a precursor to disease.

3️⃣ Detoxification: Drinking boiled water helps in detoxifying the body by promoting the elimination of waste and toxins. This gentle detoxification process supports the body's natural cleansing mechanisms.

4️⃣ Soothes Vata: For those with a Vata constitution or experiencing Vata imbalances (like coldness, anxiety or dry skin), warm boiled water can be especially warming, calming, and grounding. This is especially helpful as we move into autumn.

We are not mice.

Chief among the misconceptions about soy foods is that they promote breast cancer because they contain a class of phytoestrogen compounds called isoflavones. Since estrogens can promote breast cancer growth, it’s natural to assume phytoestrogens might too—but it turns out to be the opposite.

There are two different types of estrogen receptors in the body—alpha and beta receptors. Soy phytoestrogens preferentially bind to and activate beta receptors, which have an anti-estrogenic effect, inhibiting the growth-promoting effects of actual estrogen. This is something we’ve known for more than ten years. So, where did this outdated notion that soy could increase breast cancer risk come from? A study on mice. As it turns out, we are not mice.

Pooling together all of the results from five cohort studies (totalling more than 10,000 patients), soy food intake after breast cancer diagnosis was found to be associated with reduced mortality and reduced recurrence—so, a longer lifespan and less likelihood the cancer comes back. And, this improved survival was for both women with estrogen receptor–negative tumors and estrogen receptor–positive tumors, as well as for younger and older women.
