HOW EATING COOKED FOODS AND WARM DRINKS CAN IMPROVE DIGESTION:
While taking courses to become a Certified Nutritional Practitioner, I always found Ayurvedic food principles SO fascinating. Traditional eastern principles have an innate wisdom that really resonated with me, and their teachings are thought to be the world’s oldest healthcare system. I now use many of these principles in my practice with clients.

When it comes to improving digestion, the area of health I help clients with most, Ayurveda believes that people with weak digestion are thought to have weak digestive “fires”. As traditional Eastern medicine explains, food must be “burned” in the “fire” of digestion to be properly broken down. Cold and raw foods must be “heated up” as they dampen and weaken the fire of digestion. People with weak digestion usually do not do well with too many raw or cold food and drinks. By favouring cooked vegetables and fruits over raw produce, and incorporating hot soups and warm dishes, we will avoid cooling the already weak digestive “fire”.

Try this if you suffer from weak digestion. More cooked foods and warm beverages for the win! I also have amazing digestive healing guides, recipes, and meal plans at www.marissaliana.com
