A key concept to maintaining your new lifestyle is balance. To maintain over- all balance and health within your dosha try to have regularity in sleeping, waking, eating and elimination. We should also strive for maintenance in our relation- ships and emotions, so we can have total awareness in our thoughts and actions. Relationships should be filled with love, compassion and clarity. Our emotions are actual biochemical processes in our body and when seriously challenged, could become poisonous to us. A useful tool that is free and can be used daily is meditation. Meditation can be helpful in bringing awareness along with cleansing our minds, body and consciousness. Ayurvedic treatments may also in- clude recommendations for sleep, exer- cise, yoga, breathing exercises, nutritional modifications and herbal supplementa- tion. These strategies are all meant to help and target stress management. Chronic stress can contribute to many harmful physiological events by releasing cortisol. Cortisol is a steroid hormone produced in the cortex of the adrenal glands, located on top of the kidneys. The function of cortisol is to regulate and mobilize energy to different areas in the body. Cortisol mo- bilizes energy by tapping into the body’s fat stores and moving it to another loca- tion. When chronically stressed, fat can be mobilized to the abdomen. Research has shown that fat cells in the abdominal area have a higher level of the enzymes needed to convert cortisol into its active form, thus producing weight gain around the abdominal area.
Thermogenic Spices
Research has shown that the follow- ing spices help burn fat. Fortunately, many can already be found in your kitchen cupboard or can be found in your local store. These spices can easily be added to soups, salads, vegetables, meats or smoothies. Try some freshly grated ginger and ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon into your fruit smoothie for a fat-burning meal or snack!
