Ayurveda places great importance on digestion. It is the root of all nourishment of body tissues. Good digestion leads to healthy tissues, while weak digestive strength leads to our food fermenting and rotting in our body.
Aside from the actual foods we consume, there are many digestive aids that can be found right in our fruit and vegetable or spice drawers that can enhance our digestive abilities.
One such digestive aid is a ginger, lime and salt combination. This digestive is very easy to make and lasts a few days. Not only does it prepare your digestion before a meal, but it also:
- Burns toxins
- Stimulates energy
- Increases saliva to improve the taste of food
- Releases gas to relieve bloating
- Increases appetite
- Rebuilds electrolytes
- Is an anti-inflammatory and decongestant (great for when you feel a cold coming on).
Try this ginger lime salt appetizer and let me know how it affected you before, during and after your meal.
