HEATING OR COOLING ENERGY OF FOOD OR VEERYA<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Certain items of food have a heating effect on body or are of high caloric value e.g. meat, fish, egg, jaggery, dates, nuts, honey, mango etc. Others like milk, oranges, melon, bananas, curd, cheese etc. have a cooling effect on the body.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

POST-DIGESTIVE (METABOLIC) EFFECT OR VIPAAKA<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The post-digestive effect refers to the effect of the food substance on the digestive system, metabolism and on the nutrition of the body.<\/b><\/p>\n

TIPS FOR FOOD INTAKE<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Food should not be prepared with foul fuel.
\n\u2022 Half heated food should not be consumed.
\n\u2022 Be cautious in taking food items which are not fully ripe or overripe or which have had any unusual change.
\n\u2022 Never take food when you haven’t urinated, during lack of appetite or prolonged fasting.
\n\u2022 Never take food in a crowded place.
\n\u2022 In order to stimulate appetite, one can chew and eat half teaspoonful of freshly grated ginger with a pinch of rock salt 10 to 15 minutes before each meal.
\n\u2022 The diet, especially hard food substances, should be properly chewed.
\n\u2022 Wherever possible, intake of curd or whey should follow eating of food.
\n\u2022 The food should be tasty, fresh and good in appearance.
\n\u2022 It should neither be hot nor absolutely cold.
\n\u2022 Avoid taking water at least 15 minutes before having food. The quantify of water taken after eating food should be little. Instead, drink often.\u2022 Heavy food should be taken in a limited quantity.
\n\u2022 Heavy food should not be taken at night. The proper time for taking your dinner is approximately two to three hours before going to bed. After dinner, go for a short walk.
\n\u2022 After meals, heavy mental or physical work should be avoided. Some rest is advisable for proper digestion of food.
\n\u2022 While eating, only one-third of the capacity of the stomach should be filled with food, one-third with liquid and one-third should be left empty. This aids in proper digestion, gives room for air circulation in stomach and also promotes mental clarity.
\n\u2022 While eating, one should properly chew the food in order to soften it, and ensure that it is thoroughly mixed with saliva.
\n\u2022 Ayurveda insists that iced water should not be drunk during or after a meal as it slows agni and digestion. Small sips of warm water taken during the meal help in digestion.
\n\u2022 If desired, one can finish a meal by drinking a cup of lassi or buttermilk along with ginger and coriander.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
