    Thank you for watching ‘Mastering Diabetes Diet in Kannada’. Remember, your health is in your hands. Let’s embark on this journey towards a healthier life together!

  • Indigestion and diet

    Indigestion and diet 


    What’s up folks? I hope you are enjoying the rains. Pleasant drizzles have cooled down the weather and isn’t it blissful? When you are accompanied with steaming masala tea and onion/potato Pakoras. Just imagining this brings joy. But friends, no matter how good it seems, please be careful.

    Otherwise, it might happened to you like it happened to the character in the movie ‘Aamhi Satpute (the Marathi movie आम्ही सातपुते)’ who dreamed of getting married to his cousin. Upon upsetting his stomach the character was advised by doctor to take light diet and the oversmart character rationalised that oil is lighter than water because it floats on water and similarly, a pamoja is lighter than oil because it floats on oil and thus, he had six plates of pakora and bread.

    Now, comes the amusing part. In monsoon, all of us have relatively weaker digestive power compared to other seasons. This results in indigestion, nausea, flatulence which if neglected can further result in serious elements such as arthritis because of Vaatdushti (वातदुष्टी). 

    So if the food is not digested properly it stays as indigested food in the gastric canal. Today, we will try to understand more about indigestion. In the ancient, ayurvedic text – Yogratnakar, indigestion is defined as follows

    अविपक्वो अग्निमान्द्येन यो रसः स निगद्यते।
    रोगाणां प्रथमो हेतुः सर्वेषामामसंज्ञया।।

    Weak digestive system results in some part of ingested food remains undigested, which is called as ‘आम’. ‘आम’ is first cause of most diseases.

    There are two main causes of getting indigestion- 
    Physical issues / wrong habits
    drinking plenty amount of milk
    Eating food objects which are havi ng exactly opposite qualities (eg. Milk and Fish… Milk is dole and fish is hot as their specific qualities)
    Always having food in irregular quantity irrespective of appetite
    To control natural excretory urges
    Taking inadequate sleep
    Sleeping or sitting at one place for long time
    Keep working till late night.
    Psychological
    Being jealous
    Being afraid
    Being greedy
    Being sad
    Being worried (psychologically and economically)

    Because of above mentioned emotions food does not get digested. This causes indigestion. So, one has to eat food peacefully and happily.

    Feeling weak or lethargic
    Heaviness in body and abdomen
    Nausea
    Swelling over chicks and eyes
    Belching with the taste of food consumed recently
    Constipation
    Giddiness

    All of these symptoms indicate indigestion of food. We should visit our Ayurvedic doctor at this moment immediately. In case of indigestion one may find either one symptom or a combination of above mentioned symptoms or all of them. These symptoms on their combination help in identifying different types of ‘Doshdushti (दोषदुष्टी)’. Thus, while eating food one should have good self-control in terms of emotions as well as food intake.
    Here, I am giving a list which may help you up to some extent. There are some food ingredients which help to counter act on the constipation caused some other food material. 
     Indigestion caused by dishes which contains Coconut can be relieved by eating little amount of Rice.
    Indigestion caused by dishes which contains Mango can be relieved by eating little amount of Wheat products.
    Indigestion caused by dishes which contains Banana can be relieved by eating little amount of Ghee.

    Though as per given list some food products or material can overcome ill effects of overeating of some food products, one has to rush to the family doctor if the symptoms are critical. Don’t keep on trying different medicines on the basis of Google or Whatsapp messages.

    This list itself might have given you idea of the depth of our ancient Ayurveda. Ayurveda not only gives treatment but also provides proper Do’s and Don’ts. Ayurveda guides at the every moment of life even at the time of cooking also. Just have an example, while cooking sooran as a vegetable we must add dry kokam and jagerry so that it will not harm ur digestive system. Many of you must be recollecting their childhood memories of getting their stomach upset caused by excessive sweets. Then your mother or granny must have given you Karela juice (bitterguard juice) or ginger juice to regularize your digestion. So, we must take care of our health by following Do’s don’t s mentioned in Ayurveda, isn’t it?

  • Why the Wise go Veg with Yoga

    Why the Wise go Veg with Yoga


    You are what you eat. That’s the principle yogic approach which takes a holistic view of human health, on the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels. The ancient treatise of Patanjali Yoga Sutra speaks of the concept of ‘Ahimsa’ (non-violence), as one of the core values of yoga. The ethical discussion on non-vegetarianism, cruelty to animals, animal-to-man diseases, toxin secretion during slaughter, and lack of economics in meat production are undeniable truths. Apart from this the human body and its digestive system is naturally designed for a vegetarian diet. Today, the entire debate between vegetarian and non-vegetarian food is practically resting in favor of the former with research and statistics available in bookshops and on the internet. Simply stated, vegetarian food is easy to digest; contains antioxidants, fiber, an array of vitamins; low in calories, sugar, fat, and reduces your chances of getting diabetes, heart disease, obesity, hypertension and almost all cancers. Numerous sites including The American Dietetic Association, World Cancer Research Fund and National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey contain a wealth of knowledge on this. If that doesn’t alarm you away from non-vegetarianism, let’s focus a bit on a fascinating aspect of yoga which speaks of food.

    Better food makes better mood.

    Ayurveda classifies food not as proteins or carbohydrates etc. but according to its effect on the body and mind. It classifies food based on three qualities or gunas that governs human life – sattva, rajas and tamas.

    1. Tamasic food creates lethargy or sluggishness
    2. Rajasic food creates activity or restlessness
    3. Sattvic food, which consists of vegetarian fare, creates lightness, energy and positivity
    These three qualities are present in our body in varying degree and have a direct influence on us, our moods, emotions and consequent health. There is an ancient Ayurvedic proverb which sums it up- “When diet is wrong, medicine is of no use. When diet is correct, medicine is of no need.”

    Scientifically speaking, we need food for two reasons: as fuel to produce energy to exist (prana or life energy) and as raw material to regenerate the body. Yoga says that our system is a seamless blend of the body, mind and spirit. An irregularity in the body affects the mind and unpleasantness in the mind manifests as an ailment in the body. It has been observed that the practice of yoga, accompanied with a sattvic diet, can truly create wonders. This is because when one does Yoga,  pranayama (breathing techniques), and complements it with sattvic food, the prana levels in the body increase. This creates a lighter, positive, happy and harmonious state of being. In fact, many yoga practitioners have experienced that one of the major impacts of yoga is an increased awareness of their body and mind. This allows for their natural progression towards sattvic high-prana generating food choices. It is almost as though the body desires to return to its innate mechanism which is attuned to a vegetarian diet. The best encapsulation of this is by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Founder of The Art of Living, who says, “When you become subtle in your mind and go deeper in your heart, you turn vegetarian naturally.” Another marvelous benefit of a daily dose of yoga, coupled with a vegetarian diet, is that it is one of the easiest ways to stay fit, look younger and get that glowing skin and hair. But it would be prudent to allow more celebrated vegetarian yogis to make that all-consuming point.

    Go on the special Mood and Energy Enhancers Diet for the next 30-days. Include only sattvic vegetarian food in
    your diet plans and let us know how you feel. Examine your energy level, moods, emotions, and thoughts. We’d like to hear from you. For better experience, add 30-minutes of yoga too.
