2. Rise early. This proves effortless when we have had a good night's rest. According to Ayurveda, it is advised to retire for bed before 10 pm. This gives us time in the morning to prepare ourselves for and concentrate on our daily routines. Another bonus is surely having time to enjoy the most important meal of the day: breakfast! 
3. Which leads us to our next tip. Prepare a wholesome breakfast. When we omit this vital part, pitta is often imbalanced. Try incorporated cooked apples or other sweet and juicy fruits into your breakfast planning. This not only stimulates digestion but also helps transport toxins from the body. It is advised to enjoy these fruits first thing in the morning and the rest of your breakfast approximately 30 minutes later. 
4. Spice up your life. The positive and healing benefits of spices have been know in Ayurveda for centuries. Spices such as cardamom, coriander, fennel or tumeric are exceptionally beneficial for digestion. To regulate the dosas, delve into some churnas specially formulated for this purpose. 
5. Care for your hair. To achieve luscious hair it is essential to consume the proper foods. Snack on fresh fruits instead of popcorn, nuts instead of sweets or candy. Small changes made to your diet can make all the difference. 
6. Detox. Take measure to detox the body on a regular basis. A ams-reducing diet does wonders in such cases. 
7. Connect with nature. Our fast-paced way of living has lead us to disconnect with nature and its wonders.

We are all part of nature so take the time to enjoy its beauty and pleasures.
