Hot Water in Winter Tip
‼️ IMPORTANT AYURVEDIC TIP - avoid drinking cold water ❌
This is one of the most important Ayurvedic tips to easily improve your digestion. Especially during these cold winter months
Instead, sip on hot/warm water throughout the day to aid digestion
Warm water is almost always recommended to clients, as it is light (laghu), stimulates digestion and alleviates all three Doshas (Vata, Pitta and Kapha). Check the Ashtanga Hridayam Sutrasthana 5:18 for further references regarding Jala (water).
It is particularly important to avoid cold water in conditions of pratisyaya (cold), flatulence, aruchi (anorexia), hiccups and immediately after an oleation therapy (oil massage).
But why is cold water avoided? Drinking cold or excessive amounts of water before or after a meal can suppress your digestive fire ? Water intake after your meal can result in weight gain and should only be taken in small quantities during your meal. Avoid iced drinks and sparkling water while eating, as this also slows down the digestive process.
Simple tip ✅ Keep your water jug outside the fridge and try drinking room temperature water instead of cold water. Also keep a hot water flask to sip on warm water or herbal teas throughout the day
