Ayurvedic Food Habits - #4866
I’ve been trying to make healthier lifestyle changes lately, and I’ve heard a lot about Ayurvedic food habits. The thing is, I’m not really sure how to start or what changes I should make. For years, I’ve been eating a lot of processed foods, skipping meals, and often eating at odd hours because of work. Now I’m feeling constantly tired, bloated, and my skin has started breaking out too. Are Ayurvedic food habits something that could help with all these issues? I read somewhere that Ayurvedic food habits are based on eating according to your dosha type, but I don’t know how to figure out my dosha. Does that mean I can’t start unless I know my dosha, or are there some general principles I can follow? For example, I’ve heard that Ayurveda suggests eating fresh and seasonal foods, but is that all there is to it? What else makes Ayurvedic food habits different from just eating healthy in general? Another problem I have is with digestion. After meals, I often feel really heavy and uncomfortable, even if I didn’t eat much. Do Ayurvedic food habits help improve digestion? I’ve seen people talk about eating warm foods and drinking herbal teas in Ayurveda. Does that really work, and if so, how do I incorporate it into my daily routine? One concern I have is time. I barely have time to cook because of my job, so I rely a lot on takeout. Are Ayurvedic food habits practical for someone with a busy lifestyle? Do they require cooking elaborate meals, or can I make simple changes that still follow Ayurveda principles?
