2. The Daily Routine Framework - Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of a daily routine that aligns with the natural rhythms of the body and nature. This includes waking up early, practicing self-care rituals like oil pulling and dry brushing, eating meals at regular times, and going to bed early. By following this framework, you can save hours of feeling fatigued or stressed due to an irregular lifestyle.
3. The Five-Taste Framework - In Ayurveda, food is classified into six tastes - sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent. Each taste has a specific effect on our body and mind. By incorporating all six tastes in every meal, you can ensure a balanced diet that provides essential nutrients and prevents cravings or overeating. This framework is free but can save you time spent on dieting or dealing with digestive issues.
4. The Mind-Body Connection Framework - Ayurveda believes that the mind and body are interconnected and influence each other's functions. Practicing mindful activities like yoga, meditation, pranayama (breathing exercises), or journaling can help calm the mind and relieve stress which could manifest as physical symptoms like headaches or muscle tension. This framework costs nothing but can save you from hours of dealing with stress-related ailments.
5. The Seasonal Living Framework - Ayurveda recognizes the impact of seasonal changes on our physical and mental well-being. Following seasonal routines like eating seasonal fruits and vegetables or adjusting our daily routine according to the weather can help maintain balance and prevent seasonal illnesses like colds, allergies, or digestive issues. This framework requires no cost but can save you from hours of suffering from seasonal health problems.
