I am occasionally worried & frazzled

In the past week or two, have you been feeling occasionally worried, scatted or frazzled? Do you tend to feel like your mind is a buzz at times? If this sounds familiar, you might have a Vata imbalance!

In Ayurveda, Vata is the mind-body element (or dosha) associated with air and space. Vata dosha is responsible for all the movement and processes in your body—from your breathing and elimination to the movement of thoughts in your mind. When Vata dosha is out of balance, you may feel spaced-out and scattered, your mind awhirl with thoughts and worry from time to time.

Soothe frayed nerves with this calming collection of comforting, Vata-balancing Ayurvedic herbal remedies, which help you de-stress by calming your stress response and soothing frayed nerves.

I Am Frustrated, Angry & Irritable

Feeling like you have a short fuse? Have you been experiencing bursts of frustration, irritability, and anger recently? If so, you probably have a Pitta imbalance.

Pitta is the Ayurvedic mind-body element (dosha) associated with fire and water. Pitta dosha is responsible for the metabolic processes in your body—particularly your digestive fire. When Pitta dosha is out of balance, your temperament might get a bit fiery, too.

Try these cooling, soothing, Pitta-balancing Ayurvedic herbal remedies, which are designed to help ease tension and build inner contentment and confidence.

Got The Blues From Time To Time?

Got the blues from time to time? Some people tend to get bogged down by the weight of the world on occasion. If you’ve been feeling dull, sluggish, lethargic, and a bit down in the dumps lately, you might have a Kapha imbalance.

In Ayurveda, Kapha dosha is the mind-body element associated with earth and water. Kapha dosha governs your body’s structure and tissues, from your bones to your muscles. When Kapha is out of balance, you naturally feel heavier in both mind and body at times.

Ayurvedic herbs can give you a little mood boost, naturally.

Suggested foods THAT WILL HELP WITH STRESS

As the old saying goes, you are what you eat. And in Ayurveda, certain foods are deemed especially valuable when it comes to managing stress. Generally speaking, it’s beneficial to follow a whole foods diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, fresh produce, and healthy fats like olive oil and ghee. When you’re feeling especially stressed, keep these simple “food for stress” suggestions and recipes in mind.

Pumpkin Seeds

Pumpkin seeds contain tryptophan, which can help you sleep better at night. Try sprinkling some into your salads and sautés.

Whole Milk

Rich in tryptophan and calcium, whole milk helps to regulate natural melatonin, which helps you sleep.

Almonds

Not only do almonds deliver a great shot of protein, almonds contain calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc, iron, and other nutrients that support a healthy brain and sleep.

Foods and Stress: What to Avoid

Did you know that certain foods can trigger your body’s stress response? Just as following a whole foods diet can help you manage stress naturally, eating certain foods can exhaust and deplete your energy stores. You may not be surprised to learn the main culprits: caffeinated beverages and junk foods.

Caffeinated Beverages

Coffee, black tea, and other caffeinated beverages are okay for some people, but they’re best avoided if you’re feeling wound up and having trouble sleeping.

Junk Food

Sugary sweets and overly salted, fried, or processed foods deplete your energy. Instead, reach for healthy, whole-foods snacks and foods that fuel your mind and body.

STRESS-BUSTING RECIPES

Avocado on Bread somthing fiferent image genreta

Avocado on Bread

Use homemade gluten-free bread, or store-bought bread or crackers.

When I travel, I always have avocados in the car, or I carry them on the plane when I fly. I bring a spoon, some salt, and a lemon. Simple Mills makes great gluten-free almond crackers that I love when I don’t have time to bake bread. You can add pesto, sauerkraut, or a pickle.

If you prefer a sweeter taste, add sugarless organic jam and tahini or sunflower seed butter with avocado on bread. It’s so delicious and nutritious.

Mindful Eating When Stressed

Word to the wise: try not to wolf your food down on-the-go when you’re feeling stressed! Eating quickly, or while standing or walking, can disrupt your digestion.

Whenever possible, take a mindful approach to eating. Sit comfortably and quietly in a settled environment, free from distractions (like books, TV, and electronic devices), and turn your attention to your meal. It’s fine to enjoy some light conversation while you eat but try to avoid stressful topics. Your stomach will thank you!
