Eat warm foods with sour and pungent tastes. For example, warm lemon water in the morning is an amazing first step. Add elements of spice like cayenne, ginger, and citrus to meals.

Make lunch your biggest meal. Midday is peak digestion time! Try to avoid a large dinner meal when the sun is down - your digestion is already slowing down for the day. Soup or something easy to digest is a great option for dinner.

Increase your meal time ritual. Eat slowly with no screen distractions. Try to make the meal last 20 minutes. If you have company or are eating in solitude, make it count by enjoying the experience and have gratitude for the nourishment. Be conscious of your emotions, a disturbed mind when eating will further feed that emotion.

Eat at regular times - this will help your body know what to expect each day. Try to leave 3-4 hours in between eating so all of the food from your previous meal is fully digested. Putting new food into your stomach with partially digested food will disturb Agni and produce Ama, or toxins.

Sip a little warm lemon water or ginger tea during meals. Don’t drink too much water - especially never cold/ice water during meals. If you need to hydrate, drink at least 30 minutes before or after meals instead.

Use after meal digestives - chew fennel seeds, have some ginger tea, CCF tea, or go for a walk. Digestion accounts for 30% of your daily energy, it can be common to feel a little sluggish after a bigger meal. These digestive rituals help combat the post meal fatigue.
