Monsoon brings digestive woes. The ‘ digestive fire’, ‘jatharagni’ is weakened. To protect and boost your digestion, follow these tips:

 

• Eat freshly cooked food.
• Eat your food warm.
• Eat only when you are hungry.
• Be mindful of the quantity.
• Avoid heavy foods.
• Give enough time for the previously ingested food to get digested before you eat again.
• Add a teaspoon of dry ginger powder to 2 litres of water and boil to half. Warm ginger water boosts digestion & metabolic rate.
• Do not adopt a ZERO fat diet. Sesame oil and cow’s ghee in moderation (with meals) helps to keep the ‘digestive fire’ ignited.
