Recently a Nutri-Jyoti News subscriber contacted me with a request for Ayurvedic nutrition advice. The subscriber has been a vegetarian for many years and complained of
- chronic low agni
- getting severe pains on the left side of … stomach
- waking up at night with this sharp pain and also vomiting
- returning pain after fasting all day and eating fried food followed by a banana in the evening
The subscriber had also noted that the pains come when digestion did not work properly or when “I am eating too much late at night or perhaps bad food combinations.”
The Ayurveda nutrition suggestions I made were as follows.
- Include more fresh ginger in your diet to help to improve agni levels. It is also good for nausea.
- Avoid eating fried food in the evening. It is heavy on your digestive system especially if no other food has been eaten all day.
- Fruit should be eaten away from meals or before meals (see post on this topic).
- Eat heavy foods or your largest meal between midday and 2pm when your digestive capacity is highest.
I also suggested that the subscriber consult with an Ayurvedic doctor in their area for an examination and specific information about their particular case.
