A SUPER Simple Ayurvedic Morning Practice to Feel Leaner + Improve Digestion

Ayurveda is the ancient science of health and wellness which originates from India. Ayur means health and veda means knowledge. It is the world's oldest health system that is based on the understanding that there are three main body types and the key to health is finding the right mind-body balance for your body type. My friend Sahara Rose has lots more information and a free quiz to find out your body type on her website here: https://eatfeelfresh.com

The science of Ayurveda is very comprehensive so I'm just going to share one tip with you today and that is when you first get up in the morning, drink a glass of warm water with lemon or lime juice. You can do this after you've brushed your teeth. This will cleanse your digestive tract and jump start the agni, or digestive fire and set you up for good metabolism and digestion for the day. The warm water also serves to stimulate your digestive tract and flush out unwanted toxins.

I personally like to use lemon juice. You can buy fresh lemons and squeeze them beforehand and keep the juice in a jar in the fridge ready to add to your hot water in the morning. When I was living in L.A. last year for a few months, I used to pick fresh lemons from the tree in the backyard. There is nothing as tasty as fresh fruit juice freshly picked off the tree! Mmmm. I would recommend trying it everyday for a week and seeing what changes you may notice. For me, I always feel leaner and have easier bowel movements when I drink lemon water first thing. If you try this tip let me know how you feel!
