Do you Know a friend who has turned Vegan? Tag them!
🌿
Vegans have to be extra careful about these:
🍚 having lentils with every meal
🍚 having 2-3 fruit and 5-8 veggies every day
🍚 highest quality expeller-pressed unrefined oils soybean paste, kimchi, etc every day which translates to skin disorders. Think coconut chutneys, peanut dips, cilantro chutneys, etc
🍚 fermented foods like batters, homemade pickles, soybean paste, kimchi etc every day
🍚 Organic no preservative Tofu, Edamame, Millets are all great additions to have frequently
🍚 When having sourdough batters, balance with cooling foods to prevent Pitta flare ups which translate to skin disorders. Think coconut chutneys, peanut dips, cilantro chutneys etc
🍚 spices like turmeric, cumin, fennel, coriander, paprika every day
🍚 highest quality expeller pressed unrefined oils

If you want to lose weight make sure you start your day with lentils and end it with lentils.
🌿
Whether you want to fit into your favorite pair of jeans or get ready for a special day when all eyes will be on you, make friends with the enemy of bloat, the humble lentil.
🌿
If washing, soaking, skimming, buying organic lentils, and cooking with Hing asafoetida, ginger and cumin still gives you gastric trouble, then get a consultation because low Agni is like a Kitchen stove that doesn't hold heat anymore.

What is the value of a house where the kitchen doesn't function? Try selling one and see what happens.

The journey of a woman from garbhini, pregnant to sutika, a new mom, is a delicate time that requires attention, love and care.

🌿
There are many traditional diets from around the world that have important recipes to nourish and strengthen the new mother, here are 3 recipes that I am aware of and suggest my clients follow.

🌿
Breastfeeding the baby is the first act of Sutika paricharya, this act by the mother is set up by mother nature to heal us of the physical and emotional trauma completely and lock us in a bond of love.

🌿
Fenugreek jam, Mutton bone broth or Rasam and Gond edible gum laddoos are some important recipes in a new mom's diet for proper lactation and healing.

👂The ear canal is made of millions of delicate exposed nerves to pick up the slightest sound and to keep our balance.

🌿
When Winter arrives and the cold air rushes in through our funnel-like ears, these nerves jangle with shock, sending waves of pain through the sensitive inner ear.

🌿
As the Vata gets imbalanced and causes pain, warming oil will bring in Kapha and Pitta to heal and protect.

🌿
Keep your head warm, wear your favorite beanie or scarf, keep your neck cozy.

🌿
The most fascinating ear treatment I have seen was in rural Punjab. My friend's bebe roasted a whole onion in the tandoor till it was black, then cut it in half and squeezed a few drops of the warm juice straight into her ears.

🌿 I completely swear off cold hair masks and nourish them with shorter oiling sessions. Suck the life out of hair.

🌿 She is a dedicated Yogini whose Sattvic lifestyle went a little too far, so now we are on mission "Agni" a term she coined :-)

🌿Ashtanga Sanghraha, Viruddha Vijnananeeya Adhyayan gives a detailed account of incompatible foods. Other classics also have additions and highlights.

🌿Unwholesome and incompatible foods cause Ama Visha, endogenous toxins build up in the body.

🌿They are to be avoided to stay healthy, especially during cusps of seasonal and solstice changes.

🌿I remember my daughter refusing such combinations even as a toddler when I did not know much about these and I would throw in spinach with butter or make a banana smoothie with yogurt.

🌿If you are used to such combinations and are perfectly healthy, gently wean yourself so that as you age, your body continues to have the higher processing power.

🌿 Make a fist, take a good look at it, this is the size of our stomach.

🌿This organ can comfortably hold about 2 cups of chewed food + liquids. Any more and it is in trouble!!

🌿As the stomach churns and digests it lets out about half a teaspoon of digested food at a time into the small intestine.

🌿One of the biggest reasons for bloating is mixing simple sugars with hard-to-digest proteins like a steak or roast. Eat dessert and fruit separately if you are sensitive.

🌿Here are some spices, seeds and herbs that soothe and help ease bloating, make a tea with your favorite combo:

🌿These superfoods do not come as a surprise if you follow a traditional diet.

🌿Our wise mothers and grandmothers have made sure they have raised us right with what nourishes our mind, body, and soul.

🌿It is foolish to run after every newly touted "superfood" and spend extra $$$ on imported, out-of-season foods.

🌿Superfoods appear to be superfoods in a lab test, but what acts as a superfood in our gut largely depends on whether we have the blueprint to digest it.

🌿A great example is Californians chugging down the coconut oil and getting their arteries clogged.

🌿There are many that could not be mentioned like red Rice, Millets, Nuts, Spices, etc.

🌿 Polycystic o***y syndrome (PCOS) affects our ovaries, producing excessive male hormones and multiple fluid filled sacs (poly-cysts)

🌿 This is a Kapha Vata condition with weight gain and painful, irregular or excessive periods.

🌿Young girls begin to develop facial hair due to imbalance of male vs female hormones.

🌿As the condition progresses Diabetes, Cholesterol, and Infertility are not far.

🌿Sadly as our little ones are moving away from healthy ways of living, reinforced by our lack of attention to their true well-being due to work commitments and other things taking priority, these conditions are becoming all too common.

🌿 Polycystic o***y syndrome (PCOS) affects our ovaries, producing excessive male hormones and multiple fluid-filled sacs (poly-cysts)

👍Like this post demystifying Millets?

👉Follow me .ayurveda 💕 for more such balanced health reminders.

🌿Millets are nutritional powerhouses. I use them once every 2-3 days mixed in with wheat for Rotis, as part of Kitcharis, soups, smoothies (roasted ragi), and my favorite, as a sweet porridge with lots of ghee and almonds.

🌿How To Cook Bajra/Pearl Millet or Jowar/ Sorghum?

Soak for 4-6 hours
Cook with 4 times more water, till soft for about an hour on low flame.
Drain and reuse the cooking liquid or boil down to evaporate.
or
Roast and Powder, used for making bread, porridges, batters, etc

🌿Smaller Millets like Rajgira can be ground into flour straight away.

🌿In Bhavaprakasha Nighantu the verses on Grains mention "Shudradanyam Kudanyam cha Trinadhanyam" The use of "cha-and" is important here.

🌿Let's understand this, here is a verse you might know:

Sharanye Tryambike Gauri Narayani Namostute, here all are synonyms of Divine mother.

🌿If it was Sharanye Tryambike Gauri *cha* Narayani Namostute, it would mean Narayani is different from Gauri, Sharanye, and Tryambike.

🌿Grammatically synonyms do not have "and" in sentence construction. This makes it clear that Millets are not "Kudanya", "Shudradhanya", they are a different class of grain.

🌿I hope that cleared the air for you, see you in the comments section ❤

🌿Our rice-eating habits are only one generation old and we can change our tastes to reflect the true heritage of our ancestors, the valuable local heirloom rice varieties our farmer friends have been growing for thousands of years.

🌿We vote with our feet and our cash, all that which we need to pass on to our children and grandchildren, the gift of Ayurvedic health.

🌿Basmati is an excellent rice however it is NOT for regular use. If you use it, like a Royal, your banquet has to be moderated by a knowledgeable Vaidya to prevent deficiencies and imbalances.

🌿Making a Kitchari mash out of Basmati is the equivalent of feeding your cat Caviar. Don't do it just because you can. Basmati rice is best suited for light steaming where each grain can fluff up like a jasmine flower. Every mouthful has to be appreciated like fine Caviar.

🌿The Red Rose Matta of Palakkad, Kerala has been around since the Chola Dynasty, was food for all, royals and peasants alike. It is still one of the most nutrition-packed healing rice around. Give it a try or give any local red rice a chance. You will never go back.
