Unlocking Ayurvedic Secrets
While keeping up with today’s fast-paced world, we often struggle to make healthy dietary and nutritional choices. We look for quick food fixes that we can quickly ‘grab and go’ that help us save time on cooking so that we can utilize it towards other aspects of life. This has lead to a rise in prepackaged foods like pre-made breakfasts that are ready with boiled water or pre-made meals that are easily microwavable. ��If you are health conscious, then you would typically choose easy to make foods like protein shakes, fruit and vegetable smoothies, energy bars which promise us ‘maximum nutrition’ with ‘minimum time and effort’. And if trying to curb or shrink your growing waistline you would often consider ‘healthier options’ like fat free foods, and air fried recipes.� But, Are fruit and veggie smoothies really ‘healthy’? Are energy bars the way to go for boosting energy? Are air-fried foods 'healthier' than fried foods? To answer the above questions and take the mystery out of ‘healthy cooking,’ Dr. Manjiri Nadkarni will talk about "Unlocking the Ayurvedic Secrets of Ahara Samkara or Ayurvedic Food Preparation for Optimal Nourishment!" She will discuss different food preparation practices employed traditionally in Ayurveda vs. in today’s modern world like soaking, sprouting, boiling, baking, grilling, pressure cooking, air frying, churning, blending, juicing, grinding etc. affect food from a qualitative and nutrient density perspective, and how they impact your health. She will also share the best practices and food preparation techniques that can lead to optimal digestion and improved nutrient absorption, that leads to a life full of energy and vitality.
Rainbow Color Foods: An Ayurvedic Perspective
Instead of painting a rainbow, how about eating a rainbow of colors? Red, orange, yellow, green, white, blue and purple. Each of these colors has health benefits, including: - Improved vision - Decreased inflammation - Reduced risk of chronic diseases, including cancer, heart disease and diabetes - Strengthened immune system These benefits are due to the phytochemicals that occur naturally within these foods. Phytochemicals also give foods their distinct aroma and taste. While each color provides certain benefits when paired with other colours, the effects on your health are astonishing. That's why it's important to eat a wide variety of colours.
Chrono Nutrition
Chrono Nutrition simply means eating the "right foods at the right time." It is not only 'What' but 'When' you eat that matters. Consuming your calories during a restricted window of time can have a deep impact on your health and well-being. We will be discussing Chrono nutrition in the light of Upavaas (intermittent fasting) and Cardio-Metabolic disorders.
