Winter according to Ayurveda and Slow-Cooked Lamb Shanks
I want you to close your eyes and take a big inhale.
And then, take a long exhale out of your mouth.
Winter is here in Australia and in NZ (cue the Game of Thrones music). It’s time to pause, take a deep breath, and slow down.
According to Ayurveda, the ancient Indian medical philosophy, winter helps balance the fast-paced nature of summer and autumn, giving you the opportunity to redirect your energy inwards, rest, reflect and practice stillness. It’s crucial to embrace winter’s change rather than fight it.
According to Ayurveda, winter is the season where the Agni – digestive fire – is strongest. The body needs more fuel to stay warm and healthy in the cooler months, and the cold weather forces the fire principle deep into the core of the body – igniting our digestive capacity.
Routines that follow the change of season will help you keep your health on track.
Today on the blog I am sharing my Ayurvedic food suggestions and also a delicious Slow Cooked Lamb Shanks recipe.
You can find everything here.
