In order to maintain a balanced metabolism, a kind of nutritious food is required. If we give up diet, the digestive system will die a natural death, to keep it working appropriately, we need some appropriate food at regular intervals.

The body should not find the food a little hard to digest, but frequency of eating can keep the digestive organs working swiftly. Eating less can make the digestive system a little sluggish. No snacking between these meals should be done. What one eats does matter, but how you eat also matters. So better stay steady and consume 3 meals a day at a precise time.

How you eat?

Having food is a sacred art, which should be done in a tranquilized atmosphere, free from any stress, without any conversation, TV or anything. Your body should be receiving all the nourishments that are needed.

You are completely satisfied by the tastes and textures of the food while eating. Neither you should overeat anything, nor crave for anything between the meals. The moment you finish eating, you get total satisfaction.

A Kapha pacifying Diet

As we know that excessive Kapha is responsible for bringing in fats, but it can also bring greed, lethargy, sleeping all the time, lying idle, a heavy mind, depression, congestion, making the metabolism go sluggish and creating deficiency of water.

A Kalpha pacifying diet can affect many organs. It can make the body achieve a balanced weight and improving health. Kapha can be pacified by eating papaya, apple, cherries, pomegranates, cabbage, carrots, spinach, dried fruits, oats, barley, honey, sunflower seeds and many more.

It also helps neutralizes  the excess Kalpha by enhancing the digestive system. Better opt for foods that are fresh and seasonal, instead of stale and over processed ones that are difficult to digest. Proper food combinations can help tremendously if chosen alertly.

Don’t indulge in eating foods that make the digestion sore. It will enhance our health and make one lose the fat. It might be a slow process, but the results will be satisfactory.

Exercise regularly

If you don’t sleep well, you are inclined to observe hindrances. Discipline and consistency around the sleep time can prove to be a catalyst for your healthy growth.

Triphala

Taking herbal remedies is another way of maintaining a healthy weight. Triphala is a primitive formula of Ayurveda that can balance all the 3 doshas, the Pitta, Vatta and Kapha. It softly cleans the digestive system and nourishes & rejuvenates the tissues.

Take 2 tablets of Triphala with warm water before going to the bed. If you have Triphala powder, half a tablespoon is enough and boil it in water and keep the water simmering for 10 minutes, cool it and drink the water.

Move physically after every meal

Going for a walk for at least 20 minutes after every meal stimulates our digestive system. If you feel tired lie on your left side after a 10 minute walk. It will boost your digestion powers.

Follow the Sun

Follow a natural ritual, go to bed when the Sun goes down and wake up the moment when Sun rises. But these days it’s almost impossible. Our ancestors had nothing to do after the sun-set, they used to sit around a bonfire or a candle and call it a day.

Due to heavy schedule of work these days, no one wants to call it a day. But sleep is a necessary pattern that should be followed, our bodies also slow down in the evenings.

7 to 8 hours of sleep detoxifies and reset our body for the next day. It also improves the cholesterol level (a hormone that gains weight). Follow any of the above mentioned steps and see the reduction in your belly.
