Eat a slice of ginger with a dash of lemon and rock salt before meals to get the digestive fire started!
Sip warm water during meals.
Do not drink cold water during or after meals as this will shut down the fire you require for digestion.
For a balanced diet include all six tastes in your food i.e. sweet, salty, sour, bitter, spicy and astringent.
Make your plate look colourful………..add the greens!
Eat the same time every day with the main meal during lunch time which should be between 12-1p.m (the Sun being the strongest during this time and so is your digestive fire) and dinner before 7p.m. Do not eat after 8p.m.as it creates toxins in the body.
Most important – be conscious of the food you cook and eat. Avoid arguments, dramas or upset while cooking as this automatically gets into the pot and you end up eating it!
Likewise do not read a book, watch T.V. or be on the phone while you are eating. Remember even your stomach needs attention!
Eat in a pleasant environment. Avoid junk, clutter, noise or smoke around you. Create a harmonious space to enjoy your food!
