- Warm water. Begin your day with drinking warm water to fire up your digestion, preferably half an hour before eating breakfast. Option to add ginger, lemon or tumeric to your water. Avoid cold drinks throughout the day as they are considered to slow down and damp the fire of digestion.
- Yellow foods. Yellow foods are considered to strengthen the manipura chakra, the cakra associated with digestion. Foods such as corn, yellow pears, golden apples, oats, lemons, pineapples, squash and spices like ginger and tumeric can strengthen your digestion.
- Sit on heels. Vrjasana is a benefital pose to sit in within 10 minutes after a meal since the blood flow to the digestive organs increases. Sitting on the heels also activates acupressure points on the feet that promote digestion. You can sit in the pose from three minutes up to 30 minutes for maximal benefit.
Treat yourself with a simple yet delicious smoothie. Just add pineapple, lemon and ginger in a blender and you got yourself a detoxifying, digestive and immune strengthening boost!
