Positive synergy occurs when you combine two or more foods, improving their absorption. A classic example is spices. When you combine certain spices, they enhance the bioavailability of the phytonutrients in each other. Curcumin from turmeric and piperine from black pepper are examples. Positive synergy, within Ayurveda, happens in two ways: samyoga and samskara. Samyoga is when you combine one food with another. Samskara is when you process the food to make it easier to digest. This is the case with black beans, which you soak and cook to make them easier for the body to process. NEGATIVE FOOD INTERACTIONS Negative synergy occurs when you mix two foods and they harm your body. In Ayurveda, this is called viruddha ahara. Depending on how you perform samyoga or samskara, you create foods that are indigestible. A classic example is hot honey. Another potential viruddha ahara is yogurt with fruit. HOW TO KNOW WHEN YOUR DIGESTION IS BAD You know your digestion is bad when you observe certain symptoms your body exhibits shortly after eating, a little too much after eating, and a lot after eating. If you have just eaten and feel bloated, sleepy, have cramps, abdominal pain, reflux, or a runny nose, it means you have indigestion. And if 5 or 6 hours after your last meal you still don't feel hungry, it also means you may not be digesting well. GINGER TEA FOR DIGESTION Yes, there is a problem. If you remove ginger from your diet and your digestion worsens, it means you are dependent on ginger tea for digestion. It also means you are creating illness and using ginger tea as a remedy to mask the effects of your indigestion. HOW DOES FRUIT DIGESTION WORK? The first question you should ask yourself is: what is fruit? Fruit is food. But each fruit is digested differently. If you eat an indigestible fruit, like watermelon or melon, you need to be careful with your digestion. HOW TO ASSEMBLE A PLATE THAT PROMOTES YOUR DIGESTION? Take a plate and divide it into four quadrants. Fill one quarter of the plate with whole grains. Another with legumes. The next with various vegetables. The last with dark green leafy vegetables, such as kale or spinach. DOES EATING LATE AT NIGHT HARM DIGESTION? First of all, you need to review your lifestyle choices, because eating late at night is not beneficial to your health. It will harm your sleep and your digestion. IS ASTHMA RELATED TO DIGESTION? From an Ayurvedic perspective, yes. It is a respiratory disease that falls under the categories of kasa and shvasa. Many asthma patients end up in the pratamaka shvasa or tamaka shvasa classification, which is all about digestion. CRAVING SWEETS AT NIGHT, WHAT COULD IT BE? From an Ayurvedic perspective, it could be two things: aggravated Vata or Pitta. This is natural, as the body feels the need to counteract the aggravation of the dosha with something contrary, to return to balance. What you have to evaluate here is: why are you awake during the night? HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR DIGESTION? There are three ways to improve digestion: reduce the frequency of meals to give the body time to digest properly. The second thing to do is improve the quality of food, giving preference to organic and natural foods. The third thing to improve is the quantity of food, decreasing the amount you are eating at each meal. IS BURPING AFTER A MEAL NORMAL? It's totally normal. A good burp is a clean burp, that is, one that doesn't taste like anything. It's just the release of air you swallowed along with the meal. A bad burp is one that is acidic or tastes like food, as it means your digestion isn't very good. LOW HYDROCHLORIC ACID AND DIGESTION In the Ayurvedic view, the focus isn't on the amount of hydrochloric acid in the body. The focus is on the functioning and imbalance of the doshas. #ayurveda #digestion #health
