Learn Advantages of Ayurvedic Eating to Keep Summer Cool

Cool Down and Tone Up? Yes! Advantages of Eating the Ayurvedic Way

If staying cool and getting healthy are your goals this summer, we've got you covered! According to Ayurvedic medicine, summer’s heat can be alleviated by consuming astringent vegetables combined with "cooling herbs".

The warmer months are the prime time to find healthy fruits, vegetables and herbs, especially of the kind Ayurvedic medicine calls “cooling”, such as collard greens, chard, spinach, salad greens, celery, summer squash, dill, mint, and cucumbers.

Even better, for once, you can stop calorie counting! Fruits and vegetables are low in calories and offer essential vitamins and minerals that your body needs in order to be in top shape. These foods also have a high water content, which our bodies need more of when temperatures start to soar. 

 

How Does Eating the Ayurvedic Way Work?

The main principle of Ayurvedic medicine considers
the body as a whole, where all systems are interconnected.

Many ailments are caused by an imbalance within the body, and a healthy natural diet that includes fresh seasonal fruit and vegetables is sometimes all that is needed to restore this natural balance. Therefore, eating a healthy, natural diet can help alleviate many pre-existing ailments and conditions.

Another thing to keep in mind is how we treat our digestive systems. Many forms of traditional medicine, including Ayurvedic and Chinese, advise against the consumption of ice-cold beverages, especially before eating.

Cold beverages slow the digestive “fire”, making it harder to digest and extract nutrients from the foods we eat. Ideally, beverages should be enjoyed at room temperature, or barely chilled. At minimum, avoid cold beverages immediately before and after meals.

This summer, stay cool by limiting:

• Ice cold water, juice, and soda
  Although it may seem like a good idea to cool you down, ice cold drinks actually slow down the digestive process. This makes takes a toll on the digestive system and puts you at risk for constipation and a sluggish metabolism. Accompanying a hot meal with an ice cold beverage is especially advised against.

• Ice cream and popsicles
  Consuming these as a treat once in while is ok, but overindulging in these high-calorie sugary goodies puts you at risk for packing on some pounds, which will make you suffer from the heat even more.

• Foods that are high in fat
  Try to stick to lean protein such as turkey, chicken and fish, especially during the warmer months. These are easier to digest and are lower in calories and won’t leave you with that heavy, lethargic feeling.

• Junk food
  Junk food is never good for you, but the high sodium in these salty snacks is particularly harmful in the summer when your body needs to stay hydrated.
