Pump blood with Force to the feet which is relatively far from the heart sitting with legs folded Rel es the pressure from the heart in pumping blood to extremities more blood is facilitated by absorbing nutrients more importantly a sitting posture is a yoga posture by itself it has a calming effect on your
Mind when the individual sits on the floor the nerve performs better and transmits all the signals effectively further the stomach and cerebrum get time to relate the signs of feeling full according to ayurvedic tradition eating food should involve all senses the touch of food to your fingers and the feeling
Of its texture can trigger the nerve endings of your fingers which are connected to your digestion these nerve stimulations are known to activate the release of the digestive juices also according to ayur the five figures represents five fundamental constituents of food thumb represents Agy or fire four finger Wu the air middle finger

Converse with God but in silence to not talk while eating might seem as an impossible thing in today’s lifestyle but it is all about the choice we make every day here at the yoga Institute to eat in Silence with no talking and with no sound around has always been a common
Practice in Indian culture which of course is breaking in this age of social media and fun-filled life lifestyle eating in silence enables you to chew your food completely and roll it completely inside your mouths this improves your digestion eating your food in silence can be meditative in nature
Eating in silence can have a calming effect on your mind our mind and body are strongly connected this is the reason why your mouth Waters just by thinking about your favorite food mind stimulate Ates the secretion similar thing happens when you eat in silence you become mindful of the flavors and
Texture this awareness helps in release of the appropriate chemicals in our body and that would help your digestion when you talk while eating more air goes into your system along with food and this air can make you feel bloated studies show with more talking and loud sound around
People people tend to eat fast which affects digestion here sometimes you may find some people to Simply ignore this and not follow all these simple practice what to say they don’t know that they are trading gold with peanut they simply miss the great joy and experience of
