Improve your digestive efficiency and maintain overall health with these simple Ayurvedic-inspired practices:

1. Buttermilk with Meals
Enjoy a glass of well-churned buttermilk with each meal. Season it with cumin seeds, rock salt, fresh coriander leaves, and grated ginger to enhance digestion.

2. Choose Easily Digestible Grains
Opt for unpolished, red, or brown rice as they are light on the stomach and easy to digest.

3. Fortify Your Rotis
If you follow a wheat-based diet, mix 500 grams of barley, ragi, or besan into every 1 kg of wheat flour when preparing rotis or fulkas.

4. Include Ghee
Add one teaspoon of pure ghee to each meal. It nourishes the nervous system and supports smooth digestion.

5. Daily Dose of Fruits
Consume one fresh Amlaki (Indian gooseberry) when in season, or a pomegranate (anar bedana) daily to boost immunity and gut health.

6. Herbal Cumin Water
Boil 3 teaspoons of cumin seeds in 500 ml of water for a few minutes. Store it in a thermos and drink it warm throughout the day to aid digestion.

7. Light & Nourishing Dinner
Have a bowl of spinach or mixed vegetable soup at dinner. Season it with ginger, black pepper, cumin, asafoetida (hing), rock salt, lemon juice, and a dash of butter.

8. Avoid Curd at Night
Refrain from consuming yogurt or curd in the evening as it may aggravate mucus and slow digestion.

9. Eat Fresh, Not Reheated
Always consume freshly prepared, warm food. Avoid reheating meals, as fresh food retains the most nutrients and is more sterile.

10. Eliminate Processed Foods
Avoid store-bought paneer, chhena, cheese, maida (refined flour), hydrogenated oils (dalda), and white sugar.

11. Include Raw Foods
Incorporate fresh, seasonal fruits and salads in your daily diet for fiber and enzymes.

12. Balanced Meals
Ensure each meal includes a good balance of cooked and raw foods, along with a variety of whole grains and pulses.
