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
