In this episode I discuss Ayurvedic Medicine, how to stay warm and nourished this season, foods to favor in winter, how to cook them, and close with a brief meditation.
Episode takeaways:
- Depending on your Ayurvedic constitution, winter can be a time of peace and coziness, or a time when you feel weighted down, or uninspired.
- Counteract sluggishness with morning exercise (sun salutations, metabolism stimulating poses like forward and backward bends).
- Focus on eating warm, cooked, well-spiced foods like soups, and roasted vegetables.
- Drink room temperature, warm, or hot beverages and avoid iced or chilled drinks, if possible.
- What to eat: apples, dates, citrus, cooked prunes, pomegranates, brussels sprouts, leeks, winter squashes, potatoes, turnips, cooked greens, carrots, and beets
- Recipes for Walnut Granola, Roasted Beets with Blue Cheese, Butternut Squash Soup, Broccoli Gruyere Quiche, Celery with Date and Parmigiano Salad are available on www.Foodiewithalife.com
