Eat Meals At Fixed Times

Ayurveda Tips for Self Care
In Ayurveda, the development of healthy daily routines and habits is a key contributor to overall quality of life. One of these routines is eating your meals at fixed times daily. Ideally, breakfast is to be consumed between 7 am and 9 am. Lunch between 12 pm and 2 pm. And dinner between 6 pm and 8 pm, with no snacking in between meals, if possible. These are approximate windows based on the assumption that you need three meals a day. Not everyone does or should. In fact, eating fewer meals and fasting from time to time is encouraged by many Ayurvedic doctors. Two more points about lunch and dinner: lunch should ideally be the largest meal of the day because the body's digestive fire tends to be strongest between 10 am and 2 pm. Dinner should be light and ideally consumed at least 1-2 hours before bed, for ease of digestion. In Ayurveda, the quality of our digestion is a key determinant of our overall state of health. Eat well. Eat clean. Eat fresh. Eat at fixed times. Eat in a way that supports good digestion. That's the Ayurvedic approach to diet in a nutshell. The ideal gap between two meals according to ayurveda is four to five hours as it allows body to completely digest and absorb the nutrients.


Tips for Keeping a Healthy Schedule in Practise

There are some useful suggestions you may use to maximise your digestive health and energy levels while eating on a schedule:
  • If you want to jump-start your metabolism and give your body the nutrition it needs to start the day, eat breakfast within an hour of waking up.
  • You should equally space out your meals throughout the day to prevent overeating and minimise hunger.
  • Pick nutrient-dense foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and healthy fats that provide you long-lasting energy and encourage healthy digestion.
  • Drink lots of water throughout the day to stay hydrated, assist digestion, and aid in toxin removal.
​
Avoid eating late at night or right before going to bed since this might interfere with your sleep.
