Think spinach juice or raw salads are healthy? Think again.
Ayurvedic Health Coach Dimple Jangda explains why raw spinach, green smoothies, and spinach juice can cause kidney stones, bloating, and gut issues, and how to cook it the Ayurvedic way for better absorption.
Raw salads can weaken your digestive fire, and make your gut work harder to digest plant fibers. Lightly cooking your vegetables like steaming and sauteeing helps softening these fibers for better absorption.
Ayurveda has a specific clock which tells us the best time to drink as proper hydration is key to balancing all three dosha imbalances.
Ayurveda recommends starting your day with a glass of warm water to awaken your digestive fire and flush out accumulated toxins. Instead of gulping down water, sip it slowly between meals.
