But for that we have to adopt our heritage in its full glory. According to Ayurveda, sub-optimal digestion is the basis for every known and unknown disease. Falling ill with every change of season, constipation and irritability are clear signs of indigestion. Getting tired quickly, painful periods,acne or the inability to fall asleep,etc.The solution, however, are so simple that you can easily adopt in your daily life.

 *1.Sit cross legged*: First of all, sitting on the floor cross-legged (sukhasana) is one of the best therapies for our joints. The spine aligns itself, the muscles of the back lean to engage themselves, the pelvic joint leaves open, offering stability, strength and stretching all in one. No wonder then that it's also prefect position for prayer and meditation. A stable spine means no paunch and optimum height growth; strong muscles mean good posture and better athletic performance; flexible pelvic joints means less livelihood of falling and pulling or breaking anything in the body. And, of course, sitting cross-legged directs the flow of blood to the stomach, leading to optimum digestion.

 

*2. Switch off*: Whether it's phones, iPads or TV, get off gadgets of all kinds while eating. Munching while viewing is not just scientifically linked to obesity, it may result in overeating or not eating well.

*3. Switch on your senses*: Watch the food and nothing else, eat with your hands, smell the aroma, chew slowly so that you can hear yourself eating and let the tongue guide you with the perception of taste. Keeping all your senses focused on food help nature your appetite, eat as per your body's needs and, most importantly, allows kids to exercise control over the act of eating.

 With these simple steps we are able to get more from less.
