Ayurvedic Treatment for Rejuvenation

Elders in India traditionally bless the young with the words "Shataayu Bhavah!" which means "May you live a hundred years!" The blessing is not too removed from the literal. According to ayurveda, the human body is indeed engineered for a full five score years and more. The three pillars of life — diet, sleep and self-mastery — form the foundation on which ayurveda says you can build good health and longevity. Here are some tips from The Council of Maharishi Ayurveda Physicians to help you chart your course to a long, happy life. EAT TO LIVE ... LONG! "Aaharah Praanah," says ayurveda, which means "food is a synonym for life." Food nourishes more than the body. It determines the quality of your very consciousness. What you eat, how you cook, when and in what company you eat... these seemingly small details have a big impact on your overall health and, ultimately, your life span. Use plenty of spices and herbs in cooking. Spices are not only taste-enhancers, but also great healers. Sprinkle some freshlycracked black pepper on your sandwich, and it helps you absorb the nutrients readily. A pinch of turmeric in your soup not only adds color but also works as an excellent antioxidant. Combined in the right proportions, spices lend their synergy to everyday soups and curries. If you are not sure how to blend them, try Maharishi Ayurveda's gourmet Spice Mixtures, which will spice up your food with no fuss and lots of flavor.
