Ayurvedic eating habits
Ayurveda recommends one to eat hot and food seasoned with spices. The reason behind the same is proper digestion. Also keep your body hydrated by drinking fluids at regular intervals as it helps to expel toxins out of our body. Also, eating slices of ginger with rock salt sprinkled over it or having few drops of lemon before meal will prevent you from gas troubles. Ayurveda recommends one to eat only wgen one is hungry. Hungriness indicates that your previous meal is digested completely and you can eat. But eating when not hungry will add to problems like weight gain and will incur poor digestion.
