Keeping ourselves in balance centers on how and what we eat.
- The food we eat becomes us
- Eating food for the sake of living rather than for the sake of our emotions or our social calendars.
- An Ayurvedic eating schedule is determined by what time it is best to digest food
Visit local farmers’ markets and other organic venues to buy your produce and other types of foods.
- This means that you might not have the same variety of foods at your disposal year-round, but you will ensure that the foods you do put in your body don’t build up toxins and increase the risk of serious illnesses like cancer.

- We must work toward eating foods with no more than four or five ingredients, as having more than that increases the chance that the food isn’t natural.
- Avoid drinking too much during meals.
- It is better to use honey, molasses, and maple syrup as the primary sources of sweetness in our diets.
A sign of a successful fast is when, after some days of detoxifying, the body and mind start to experience a lot of energy and lightness.
- This increase in energy will lead to an increased awareness, which in turn will lead to a heightened sense of consciousness.
- It is when energy is so low or exaggerated that disease settles into the body
- Remember that the longer you are on a fast, the more days you should take to reintroduce solid foods and return to normal eating.
