EAT WELL & STAY WELL
planting seeds of healthy living
NAMASTE, dear friends!
Welcome to our first monthly newsletter. Each month, we hope to inform and inspire you to EAT WELL & STAY WELL with handpicked wellness tips and recipes.
As the winter season approaches, we are excited to share with our Shakti community some seeds we planted last summer and harvested last month.
STAY WELL
Everyday natural detox through the practice of
“Usha paan”: usha(morning) paan (drinking)
Rooted in Ayurvedic science, one of the most important ways to
“stay well” is the practice of “USHA PAAN,” drinking lukewarm water first thing in the morning.
Before spitting out your nighttime saliva, brushing your teeth, or having a coffee, sit down and drink 16-32 ounces of lukewarm water. Since the saliva accumulated overnight in the mouth is richly alkaline, it helps reduce the body's acidity. This initiates a natural detox, clears out toxins, keeps you well-hydrated and grounded throughout the day.
Note: cold water takes about 2 hours to digest; where as, warm water takes only 30-40 minutes - thus the common recommendation against drinking cold water.
