Ayurveda Suggests 4 Affordable Options for a Healthy Breakfast
Looking For A Healthy Breakfast? Ayurveda Suggests These 4 Affordable Options · freepressjournal.in

Ayurveda is a very old way of thinking about health and food.

It says breakfast is the most important meal of the day and should be light, warm, fresh, and easy to digest.

The best time to eat breakfast is between six and ten o'clock in the morning.

You should avoid very cold, raw, or heavy foods because they slow down digestion.

Skipping breakfast can be harmful, so it is better to eat something light even if you are busy.

One affordable breakfast is black chickpeas and peanuts soaked in water overnight, which build strength and energy.

Another option is warm cooked oats with tasty extras such as cinnamon, apples, dates, and ghee.

Moong dal chilla is a savoury pancake that balances the body and gives energy without raising blood sugar too quickly.

Ragi kanji is a simple drink made from ragi grain that is good for bones, digestion, and energy.

Acharya Balkrishnaji from Patanjali Ayurved says you can eat all these healthy breakfasts without spending a lot of money.
