Delicious Ayurvedic festering recipes that everyone can do

If there is a wellness system that can teach us the right food, it is Ayurveda. Translated as "science of life", Ayurveda is full of advice on lifestyle, nutrition, movement, self -care and much more and has existed for thousands of years. In terms of food, Ayurveda offers a deep and rich abundance of information that is intended to lead to a diet that corresponds to his needs, unique body and mind and is best suited for the climate and the season. One of the basic principles of the Ayurveda is "the same increases the same" and "contrast brings balance". So when it comes to preparing winter recipes, it is about bringing warmth and brightness into the colder, darker months.

ayurveda looks at the world through couples of characteristics; Hot and cold, heavy and light, oily and dry, cloudy and clear, flexible and static, rough and smooth, sharp and matt, soft and hard, tight and fluid and coarse and subtle. If we accumulate too much of a quality, we experience an imbalance, and the remedy would be more of the opposite quality. During the winter, many of us collect the properties of cold, heavy, dry and rough, due to the cold air, shorter daylight hours and various lifestyle changes (plus the extra festive feast). In order to bring us back into balance and to maintain our well -being all winter, it is important to bring in more qualities of warm and light dishes as well as healthy fats and oils to nourish the body from the inside, and special spices to burn the 'Agni' or 'digestive fire' well. Read for three Ayurveda-inspired festive recipes that you can try this winter:

Ayurveda insists that raw food should rarely be consumed. This is because the cellulose from which the cell walls of the plants consist of can be very difficult to digest. Therefore, we sometimes only take up a small percentage of nutrients, in contrast to steaming or cooking, which can essentially help to "release" vitamins in plants. Groceries. The gentle cooking of vegetables also helps to prevent flatulence and helps to maintain a strong digestive fire. I am a big fan of Waldorf salads and this warmer seasonal version is a healthy, great side dish or lunch option for the Christmas season.

If possible, try to obtain local and biological ingredients, as these contain all the nutrients that our body needs in winter (such as vitamin C, A and K). Hemp seeds are a great way to increase the absorption of antioxidants and fatty acids-both are important for the health of the brain, but Hanf is also a wonderfully sustainable plant, which is why Yogamatt has decided to launch their super sustainable plant hemp collection, complete with pillows with bio-book white filling, calming eye pillows, and the nice (link removed)
