Our life now
is very different as compared to what it could have been around 5000 years ago
(which is the approximate time when Ayurveda was implemented for the first time
in India). Today, we are more focused on earning well, pleasing other people
and in the bargain, we end up losing out on things that matter most – taking
care of your mind, body, and spirit or telling the people around us how
important they are to us. Ayurveda provides a more holistic approach and views
on our daily, mundane lives.
Sleep: Go to
bed by 10:00 p.m., wake up by 6:00 a.m. At 10 p.m., the Pitta starts kicking
in, which helps in digestion and your body begins to cleanse and detoxify. It
is indeed important to understand that adequate sleep will help increase your
ability to learn as well as make your decision-making abilities stronger.
Be wise while
eating- Always consume fresh food and avoid eating frozen food. Remember, you
are what you eat. Do not watch TV while eating food as you tend to eat more
that way. Consuming less food means fewer calories, less undigested food and
fewer toxins in the body.
Exercise:
Ayurvedic Treatments do believe in exercising of body, mind, and soul. There
are different methods to achieve all of these aspects and to create a harmony
between the three aspects of your life. You can inculcate habits like swimming,
yoga or even going for a walk. If you could position these activities in the
morning, you will feel rejuvenated and ready to take on many more challenges
through your day.
Daily
Schedule: Making a daily schedule and following it can help you immensely.
Waking up at a good hour (preferably with the rising of the sun), eating meals
at the right time as well as going to bed at the right time will help bring
about a lot of positive changes in your life.
Mental
Relaxation: This is one of the most important aspects of Ayurveda. Practicing
meditation on a daily basis could help you de-stress and de-clutter your mind
from the numerous negative thoughts that go on in your mind, on a daily basis.
Meditation is also known for increasing blood flow to your heart as well as
calming down your heart rate. It can reduce anxiety as well.
Incorporate
these habits to prevent health complications and to avoid huge medical bills in
the future.
