Lifestyle is one area that Ayurveda puts a lot of emphasis on.

In Ayurveda, optimal health and even one’s spiritual growth starts with prevention.

Prevention is based on a balanced lifestyle that is in harmony with the cycles of nature.

Going to sleep and rising with the sun, eating seasonal foods from your region, and building your activities around the natural rhythms of the day are all simple and profound ways to stay in harmony with nature.

Like the owner’s manual of your car prescribes maintenance schedules for the long-term health of your car, Ayurveda speaks of daily and seasonal routines that ensure maximal health, mental clarity, and longevity.

In Ayurveda, a daily ritual of self-care is called dinacharya.

Enjoy the following Ayurvedic daily routine designed to maintain and reconnect us to the natural circadian rhythms.

Is there a specific reason you recommend drinking out of a copper cup and using a copper tongue scraper?

Dr. John Douillard, After spending the last few weeks reading a Yoga Lifestyle book that is based off of Ayurveda, it was so refreshing to see all of the self-care practices that I read about reflected in this article! I love the simple bullet points. I used to think that keeping my daily ritual as natural as possible would be to do as little as possible. This is clearly not the case, and slowly transitioning to a routine similar to yours has already made a positive influence in my life! If you are wanting to dive deeper into the self-care routine and other important foundations and lifestyle practices that are based off of Ayurveda, Doron Hanoch lays them out in an informative, but fun and heartwarming book available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Yoga-Lifestyle-Flexitarian-Balance-Healthy/dp/0738748668/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1506548983&sr=8-1&keywords=hanoch+doron

Handfuls?

I heard you should just drink 8 handfuls of water in the morning at sunrise. And, lemon may be heating for pitta .
