    Hi all,

    I normally take one full mug of steaming hot Decoction coffee every morning after a glass of plain cold water... But I can be without coffee, if need be , due to travel, sickness etc., Otherwise, if I am at home, I need the coffee to boost my energy...After coffee, I am out for a long walk of 4 miles atleast in 40 minutes..every single day.

    :wave have a good day
    Geeth Priya.

    Hi,
    My day starts with a glass of water. Afterthat I will take dry amla soaked in
    water which will reduce body heat and vatha dosha.

    Hi Huma,

    According to Ayurveda our body is made of 3 doshas
    Vatha,Pitta and kabha.
    Vatha is pertaining to Air. Vatha originates in large intestine.
    Pitta is pertaining to Heat. Pitta originates in small intestine.
    Kabha is pertaining to Water. Kabha originates in stomach.
    These 3 doshas are to be balanced for a healthy body, the flow
    of air, heat and water is to be balanced.

    Amla reduces the vatha.

    First thing?
    A peck on my hubby's and son's cheek and say good morning and go for brushing immediately followed by a bath. Come out and make a bed tea for my hubby and breakfast. I don't take tea/coffee/milk. So directly breakfast which varies everyday :)

    Hi,

    When i am t home...my day starts with brushing my teeth, have some water, then i take turmeric mixed with sugar with some warm water(my aunty had tried this for cholesterol...i and my husband both had a blood tes a couple of months back and the cholesterol reading as 190 & 192 resp so we have started taking this it seems it helps to lower cholesterol i will do the test again after 3-4 months to see if it has helped) Then we all take 4 almonds soaken in water overnight after 10 min i take take 4 black dates soaked in water overnight this is good for heamoglobin.

    Then after sometime we have breakfast...which varies everyday.

    Inbetween whenever we find time we either go for a walk or do some light exercise at home.

    So this is our routine.

    Roopa.
