After our taco filled weekend both and I needed to reset our digestive system. What better way than a holistic approach using a practice dating over 5,000 years old. The Ayurvedic practice.

Inspired by and the Ayurvedic tradition we made it a point to cook each meal this week using recipes from her book, Eat Feel Fresh. Below are a few examples of what 1 day of eating can look like on the Ayurvedic diet (based on our Dosha's), with informational tips from Sahara's book.

❇Picture 1/2: Breakfast - Chia Pudding - chia seeds are rich in omega-3s and needed for a plant based diet
❇Picture 3: Snack - Avocado Tahini Dip on toast - tahini plus avocado is a great combination for improving skin health and boosting nutrient absorption
❇Picture 4: Tumeric Tahini Bowl w homemade tumeric tahini dressing - tumeric is a natural fat burner and inflammation reducer.
❇Picture 5: Tridoshic Kitchari - kitchari is considered the most healing food in ayurveda because it is so easy to digest, giving the system a break to restore.

Exercising Only Gets Better With Age 🧓

Strength training and exercise only becomes MORE IMPORTANT as we age. The saying is true, "if you don't use it, you will lose it" 🤸‍♂️🏃‍♂️🚴‍♂️

Strength Training benefits:
↪ maintain muscle tissue and overall strength in the body.
↪ muscles are the storage for amino acids, the building blocks of protein for the body.
↪ exercise can also reduce the risk of disorders in the brain (which can be caused by deposition of proteins in the brain).
↪ increase bone density, you need to overload the hips and spine with weight to help stimulate the bone building effects in the body.
↪ the human body is meant to move not stay still, a sedentary life leads to an increase in stress hormones as we age.

Questions with your training routines DM.

Train For Muscle Performance Not For Fat Loss.🏋️‍♂️

Training with a focus on fat loss can lead to many mistakes, and possible injuries to the body. Focus on the body as a whole and how the muscles move and perform to give your body the best chance possible to lose weight.

ℹ Slashing calories too fast or too many can worsen the body's ability to train
ℹ Training all the muscles in the body protects muscles and connective tissue giving you the best chance for recovery and injury prevention
ℹ You will not feel the need to overdue cardio in any workout
ℹ You will gain strength allowing the body to potentially lose more fat in the long term

If You're Tired Of Starting Over, Then Stop Giving Up!

Health and Wellness is an ongoing journey. To achieve our goals, focus on the process that gets you there. In the words of we should strive to be "Process driven not results driven." Self improvement lies in the process.

The job is not done, and the work is not over. The week might be stressful, and work gets busy, but use training and exercising to help you finish and achieve more than you thought you could. Exercise releases stress, clears the mind, and will help you focus on you. Take some time today for yourself, sweat rhe stress out and rest.
