Simple Ayurvedic Lifestyle Tips for Mind/Body Balance

Try these simple Ayurvedic lifestyle tips to strengthen mind/body balance.

• Upon waking, wash your face with cool water and use a stainless steel tongue scraper to remove toxin buildup. 
• Drink a glass of warm water with lemon. 
• Instead of reaching for the phone and checking social media, practice a simple yoga routine first: 5 minutes of meditation and breath-work (pranayama) and 10 minutes of asana (poses) or stretching. 
• Enjoy Ayurvedic Protein as a smoothie or use it to make protein pancakes for breakfast.
• Set an intention before you eat such as, “I am grateful for this food, and let it provide me with the nourishment my body needs.” 
• Take time to yourself throughout the day: set a reminder on your phone to stop and breathe.  
• Try and cook fresh organic food as much as you can. Eat foods and prepare them according to your dosha type.
• Before bed, enjoy an evening meditation, pranayama, and/or simple stretches. 
• Say a gratitude statement, such as “I am grateful for another beautiful day of life.”  
• Perform a self-massage, (or “Abyanga”) with the correct oil for your dosha type.
• For a restful sleep, enjoy a warm cup of Ayurvedic Protein™  as a substitute for “golden milk” before bed.
