At Ayurveda, an ancient art of living, it is recommended to prioritize the elimination of toxins and promote efficient digestion to maintain or restore balance and health.
In this modern age, we are exposed to a multitude of sources and types of pollutants. The air we breathe, the water we drink, the pesticides and herbicides contained in our food, the ubiquitous plastic materials, products chemical of households, and so on.
On the other hand, several enfermedades Currents are frequently caused by dietary excesses, such as diabetes, high blood pressure or gout, for example. Foods that are not digested cleanly and are not properly metabolized cause accumulations of substances that harm the body's health.
In this context, the Detoxification appears as a necessary practice to maintain vitality and quality of life.
El Ayurveda It is a traditional medicine that brings together therapeutic practices from India. We find elaborate massage and body care techniques, personalized food treatments, based on medicinal plants, and so on. Ayurveda insists on the concept of "ama", which represents toxins and excess substances accumulated in the body.
The science of flavors
El Ayurveda the effect of flavors and how they can help cleanse the body of its toxins is not reported. Indian medicine insists on the importance of savoring each dish to fully benefit from its effects, a part of the effects is generated by the brain that receives the taste signal.
Among others, the spicy and the bitter cause saliva to be produced, feed the digestive fire and accelerate the metabolization of the foods. The spicy warms the body more while the bitter taste refreshes it, which allows you to choose a digestive tonic according to personal needs. The bitter taste also stimulates the liver, the body's main detoxification organ. Do not forget that much of the effect is lost if bitter salads are camouflaged with a too fatty or sweet vinaigrette.
