7 Ayurvedic Habits for a Healthy Digestive System
P
Dr. Priya Sharma
Ayurvedic Physician
Ayurveda considers digestion (Agni) the cornerstone of health. Learn simple, daily habits to optimize your digestion and boost immunity.
According to Ayurveda, a strong digestive fire (Agni) is essential for health, while a weak Agni leads to the accumulation of toxins (Ama). Simple habits can profoundly impact your digestion:
1.Drink warm water upon waking.
2.Eat your largest meal at noon when the sun (and Pitta) is highest.
3.Avoid ice-cold drinks during meals.
4.Incorporate digestive spices like ginger, cumin, and fennel.
5.Eat only when genuinely hungry.
6.Leave a quarter of your stomach empty after meals.
7.Take a short walk after eating.
