By Dr. Vijay Singh Gusain
N.D.D.Y., Faculty Member, IFNHY

Eating Habits

Eat when hungry. Food takes 3 - 6 hours to digest completely.
Eat freshly cooked meals.

Keep time aside for meals (15-20 minutes). Eat in a quiet, relaxed atmosphere. It is important to allow your body to focus on eating and digestion. This also helps in secreting proper amount of digestive enzymes.

Don't eat when upset, angry or nervous.
Eat to only ¾th of your capacity.

Chew food thoroughly because this increases awareness of eating and makes digestion easier.

Sit quietly in Vajrasana for 5 minutes after eating. This enhances digestion without stress.

Some Dietary and Lifestyle changes

Avoid intake of food that increases the fire (Pitta) element such as fried foods, spicy or pungent food, oranges, tomatoes, spinach etc.

Excessive intake of food that increases the air (Vata) element such as kidney beans, horse gram, white rice, sprouts etc.

Take a little papaya, grapes or pineapple after meals. They have digestive enzymes.

Take 2 teaspoons of wheat bran / rice bran with a glass of lukewarm water at bed time.

Consume juices such as coconut juice, wheat grass juice, carrot, apple or grape juice.

Cut back on fatty food. Eat more complex carbohydrates and proteins.

Live a moderate lifestyle. Remember excess of anything is bad.

Keep the balance between work and rest.

Practice meditation - 10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes in evening.

Reduce overweight - it decreases hyperacidity.

If you feel the need to lie down, lie on the left side after meals.
