Eat Mindfully

Maintain A Sensible Diet
How you eat is as important for heart health (and overall health) as what you eat. Eat moderately, the ideal ayurvedic portion is what fits in your two cupped palms. Don't skip meals, because eating three meals at regular times each day trains your digestion to anticipate and digest your food. Stimulate a sluggish digestion with a slice of fresh ginger dressed with a pinch of salt and lime juice. Have lassi, made by blending one part fresh yogurt with three parts cool water, with lunch. Spike it with roasted ground cumin and fresh cilantro for flavor. Don't tax your digestion by eating late at night or eating a heavy meal at dinner.
