This is a beautiful time to slowly move away from very cold, raw, light foods and begin bringing in more warmth, moisture, grounding, and rhythm.
- Warm meals like curries, soup, stews
- Fennel
- Squash
- Ginger
- Beets
- Warm grains
- Cinnamon
- Ghee & other healthy fats
- Warm & room temp beverages
SLOW DOWN
It's not time to push harder
RHYTHM
Keep meals & sleep more regular
STAY COZY
Warm & bundled
TRY WARM OIL MASSAGE
And because late summer can leave some residual pitta heat behind, you don't necessarily need to jump straight into intensely heating foods.
GENTLY TRANSITION
THINK...
Warm + nourishing + gently spiced rather than fiery.
As the seasons progress, we can incorporate more warmth.
AYURVEDA IS REALLY ABOUT NOTICING
The qualities around you and bringing in their opposites to achieve a state of balance.
HOT → COOL
DRY → MOIST
LIGHT → GROUNDING
IRREGULAR → RHYTHMIC
FAST → SLOW
The more we live with the seasons, the less our bodies have to fight against them.
