#1. Reduce or eliminate all ice - cold drinks. Cold
drinks hinder the function of your digestive system. By this time of
year, unless you have taken measures through the fall and winter season
to stoke your digestive fire, your digestion is compromised.
#2. Drink hot water with and between your meals;
ideally few sips every 30 minutes. Hot water dissolves the toxins and
starts the gentle detoxification process. For extra kick add a half inch
slice of fresh ginger into your hot water. Ginger tea reduces the
cravings for sweets and sugars.
#3. Reduce the amount of information you are consuming,
especially toxic information. Contrary to popular belief, toxins are
formed not only by weakened digestion, but also by mental or emotional
overload. How much information are you consuming? How much of it is
necessary or beneficial?
#4. Is your house cluttered? According to Oprah's favorite
clutter expert Peter Walsh, there's a direct correlation between the
amount of clutter in your house and the amount of extra weight you
carry. Ayurveda agrees: clutter, toxicity and weight problems, are all
signs of Kapha congestion. Read Peter's book " Does this clutter Make My
Butt Look Fat?" to detoxify your house and loose weight.
