Detox With Ayurveda

Detox and Diet

Since your digestive system is the key to health – it absorbs nutrients for all the other organs in the body and removes toxins – begin by improving your digestion. 

The fastest way to improve your digestion is by reducing the amount of “junk food” you put in. Less junk in, less junk out – simple. Where can you start? 

• Reduce the amount of processed and fast food you are eating by 25%.
• Reduce your use of the microwave by 25%.
• Reduce your soda and coffee intake by 25%.

Taking small steps is the best way to achieve long-term success. Just making a 25% reduction in the above areas will have a huge benefit for the state of your health. Once you see the results, you will be ready to aim for a 50% reduction.

Boost Energy

Most people feel that they don’t have the time to make health changes. In reality, if you calculate the amount of time lost each day from feeling fatigued, stressed, and making mistakes due to poor concentration, you’ll realize that being healthier actually gives you time back each day. The next part of your ayurvedic health overhaul will be to take these simple steps to boost your energy:

• Sit in silence or meditation for a few minutes each day, especially after a tough day at work or parenting. This small break from activity allows the mind and body to relax and shut off the “fight-or-flight” response that chronic stress activates.

• Give away a prized possession. Even clinical studies show that living with simplicity creates a greater sense of happiness. Make your life simpler – don’t feel bound by your possessions. Giving something away that you really value fosters generosity in your heart and also a sense of freedom from your material belongings. Don’t allow your possessions to possess you.
