#1. Eat Breakfast
Ayurveda, the holistic science of life, recognizes diet as ‘one of the three sub-pillars of life’.
Being the very first meal of the day, breakfast obviously becomes the most important mean to set the right foundation for the day long competence and quality of your mind and body.
According to Ayurveda, skipping breakfast can result in aggravation of Vata and Pitta and lead to reduction of Kapha
Take diet rich in collagen and elastin, the bodies wrinkle prevention. These two substances provide a Navy Seal team-like foundation of support underneath the skin; strong, resilient and devoted to the job. Which keeps your skin looking as smooth as a baby's bottom.
Ideally, breakfast should be rich, nutritious, invigorating, and also adequately filling. As per Ayurveda, it is best to select foods for breakfast as per your predominant dosha in body constitution.
Following is the suggestive list of foods to choose from, with respect to your predominant dosha:
Vata Dominant Body: Seasonal sweet pulpy and juicy whole fruits, especially banana, mango, berries, musk melon, papaya, pineapple, grapes, oranges, etc, to start the day with, followed by whole hard boiled eggs, whole wheat bread and rice preparations in moderation, some churned yogurt with sufficient water and lukewarm, and full-cream milk while chewing a handful mix of raisins, almonds, cashew and walnut at the end.
Pitta Dominant Body: Start with fresh seasonal whole fruits like grapes, sapodilla, pomegranates, mango, papaya, Indian gooseberry, custard apple, and musk melon, followed by white of eggs, corn flakes with some milk, moderate amount of whole wheat or rice recipe, water chestnut, and a handful of raisins, especially dates, dried grapes, and cashew. After a short interval, end your breakfast with a mug of fresh butter milk with added roasted cumin seed powder, which can be very beneficial.
Kapha Dominant Body: Start with fresh fruit and vegetable salad, mainly comprising of watermelon, cucumber, strawberries, guava, papaya, black plum, and apricot, followed by corn flakes, a bowl of sprouts with lemon juice, black pepper powder and ginger slices, oatmeal, boiled beans, soy protein preparations, egg white in moderation, dry slice with skimmed milk and honey, a few walnuts and almonds, and finally a glass of lukewarm soy milk or skimmed milk or a glass of fresh butter milk with roasted cumin powder, fresh mint, and coriander leaves paste.
A right breakfast can set the right physical and mental pace for you to carry out all your hectic day’s business and also ensure positive health, good energy level, proper immunity and longevity.
#2. Eat Fish
Who doesn't like a yummy hotdog, sausage, and don't get me started on bacon! These fantastically tasty foods are processed meats that have an over-abundance of nitrates, which have been credited with supporting the onset and perpetuation of Alzheimer's. Avoid them as much as possible! (It hurt just a little to write that down.) Instead of choosing these foods, try eating oily fish (sustainable when possible) at the evening meal, two-times a week. Tuna, salmon, and sardines are the top three choices for the best results. As we gain age, our memory can become less than we hope for. When we were young whipper-snappers, those synaptic connections in the brain happened faster than a any modern supercomputer could imagine. Now, we need a little extra maintenance to keep brain activities in pique condition, and Omega-3 (found in oily fish) is just the thing our older brains require to thrive. Keep that brain snapping away, a longer life span might just be the result!
#3. Walk
In the afternoon and prior to the mid-day meal, take a brisk walk. As our bodies grow older, we lose muscle mass, which can make us weak and reduce the strength of our bone tissue. Physical activity helps to keep bones from becoming fragile. 15 minutes in the sun is enough to start cooking up your body's own vitamin D. According to one study pointed out by Dr. Oz, scientist found that people with the highest vitamin D levels had longer telomeres—tiny bits of DNA found at the ends of cells that get shorter each time a cell divides—lending these folks about 5 extra years worth of cell division. If you simply can't get outside for that brisk sun-drenched walk, Dr. Oz suggests that taking about 1,000 international units of vitamin D3 each day can replace the needed quantity. Something we should never take for granted, that amazing little thing called walking. It can add years to our lives, which is just another reason to appreciate it!
#4. Have Sex
You gotta admit sex does make you feel better! Early studies would suggest that having frequent sex might just add years to your life! Be sure to set the mood with a nice romantic glass of grape juice (dark 100% pure, natural, no sugar added) for those who don't wish to drink alcohol. This beverage contains resveratrol, which might just fight off that heart disease!
#5. Eat Berries
Did you know that berries help to stave off Cancer? Several of the best anticancer substances are found right in your cabinets and refrigerator. The idea is to starve the cancer cells as they begin to grow. It works something like this; every cell in the body (even cancer cells) require access to the blood supply, because that's where the food is. When a cancer cell first starts to grow (even before the Dr can see it) it has to build a pathway to steal food from the blood supply. Berries, it is believed, assist in preventing the pathway from being constructed, thus starving the cancer cells into submission. Berries also have antioxidants, which help with inflammation and stress related oxidation of the body. They also are said to help in the fight against several types of cancers.
