Here are Ayurvedic weight-loss suggestions that will help you lose weight healthily and softly, without the use of chemicals, processed foods, or rigorous diets.
First thing in the morning, drink a large glass of warm water with organic lemon. This revitalizes your entire digestive system and provides you a new lease on life.
A regular morning practice of exercising enough to break a sweat is recommended for healthy weight loss; 45 to 60 minutes is ideal, but even 30 minutes will suffice. Find something you can do for the rest of your life, or at least the foreseeable future.
Early in the morning, find five to ten minutes of calm and relaxation. Yoga and meditation, for example, produce a relaxation reaction in the body. This aids in the reduction of stress, which is one of the leading reasons of weight gain. It also helps us be more conscious and present throughout the day, allowing us to make better decisions.
Every day, eat three meals and avoid snacking. Food is a fast-burning fuel, and when the body is constantly fed, it loses its ability to burn fat. Between 7:30 and 9:00 a.m., have breakfast, a medium-sized meal. Between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., eat your largest meal. Dinner, your smallest meal, should be eaten between 5:30 and 8:00 p.m., when your digestion is weakest.
Taste each of the six flavors. Sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent are the six tastes recognized by Ayurveda. Make it a point to include all six tastes in your regular diet. Sweet, sour, and salty tastes are anabolic, or building, in nature, and require the catabolic, or burning, tastes of pungent, bitter, and astringent to balance them out. In the standard American diet, there are too many sweet, sour, and salty tastes, which can lead to rapid weight gain. Bitter foods, such as leafy greens, pungent foods, such as fiery chili peppers, and astringent foods, such as pomegranate seeds, provide beneficial counterpoints to the sweet, sour, and salty flavors' building tendencies.
