Strong digestion keeps you healthy. In Ayurveda, your digestive capacity, your Agni, is the make or break of your health. A few Words about Digestion. Your digestion is a meticulously orchestrated process involving the digestive and hormonal systems. Digestive enzymes are released at different stages to help break down food groups, carbs, fat, and protein, making them more absorbable for the body. The process starts when thinking about food, preparing it, and then eating it. Thorough chewing is the first step to healthy digestion. Eating in a calm environment without any distractions sounds a little like Yoga, right? In Ayurveda, the first step of digestion is the Kapha phase, releasing saliva to mix everything together, followed by the Pitta phase of upping the heat, breaking the food even more down with the stomach acid and absorbing the nutrients. Vata concludes the process by absorbing more nutrients and drying out the mass into the stool that we then poop out. To read more about how Yoga can help your digestion, click the button below.
