Ayurvedic Diet:-
1.Basic clear out: Have a good look at your current diet and try getting less preservatives,artificial colors,chemicals. See how much frozen, fried or fermented foods are on your diet; do you think you could replace them with freshly cooked meals? Why not have baked potatoes instead of fries tonight?
2.Take your time: There should be some time in your schedule for your meals (not only eating but some time thereafter as well) where you can rest, enjoy and focus on your food without disturbance. How about some rays of sunshine and fresh air if your trapped in an office all day? Also a bit silence or relaxing music couldn't hurt. Of course this might look hard; of course you'd wish to have some time to eat unhurriedly but your schedule looks uncompromising. But think about it: Food is one of the most important factors to your health; by rushing it in you might save a little time now but you'll pay it back later in case you get sick. Besides it's amazing how a restful break can boost your efficiency. Considering your meals small highlights of the day instead of an annoying necessity you'll help yourself to pay them more attention, be aware of what you eat and what your body most needs rather than cramming in whatever is in closest reach. This way you'll effortlessly learn to listen to your body—and probably be surprised how often you want healthy fresh things more than the hot dog around the corner.
3.Find out what benefits you. Get familiar with the principle of "Gunas" Don't worry it's not difficult:
"Sattvic" foods: in general are the juicy, easy to digest, tasty, organic, freshly made – they stimulate a sharp and focused state of mind, so try and get some more of these.
"Rajasic" foods: are eggs, caffeine, chile, alcohol, garlic, high quality meat as well as fermented and freshly canned foods. We require them to realize out projects by supporting stamina and providing a decisive state of mind.
"Tamasic" foods: are e.g. leftovers, alcohol (long term effect), meat, mushrooms, onions and frozen as well as fermentes foods. They plenty of a lot of energy to digest and give us the need to finish a project and rest; possibly they can put the mind in a lackluster state. That said, they're really not "bad" but in our current culture we're usually already getting enough of them so try and cut back on their intake.
4.Understand yourself: Eventually it's usually helpful to get counsel from an Ayurvedic practitioner to tackle your more subtle imbalances. If you don't have one close to you try learning as much as you can about yourself by observation: yourself should know what is best for you but you possibly have to learn how to listen to your body. (That's where an Ayurvedic practitioner can help you should you have difficulty with this concept.)
5.As a starting point why not trying to find out your personal constitutional type? You could take a so called "Dosha Test" to see which Doshas are most dominant in your constitution. Whilst discovering Ayurveda you'll see that the majority of the ideas are categorised for the sake of learning, but always be mindful that in reality everything is interrelated and the transitions between one state and another are seamless.
6.Fine-tune: Once you're at a point where you have a reasonably good awareness of the general things that agree with you, give you an energetic and positive feeling, support you you could start and try fine-tuning your diet so that it assists your personal type as well. You can do this by skillfully spicing your foods in line with your Doshas, finding or creating recipes specially for your type or simply adjusting the things you eat a little more to include more of what's good for you personally.
7.Take it easy. No-one has to be perfect. Don't start categorizing foods in good and bad drawers—Ayurveda is not about excelling in a healthy diet and/or lifestyle. It's about living in harmony with yourself and your environment. If you wanted you could always adjust and tweak things here and there, but this way it's too easy to get lost in details and losing the vision for the big picture. Just continue listening to your body, it will tell you what needs to be adjusted.
