Ayurveda Summer: Healthy Eating & Nutrition
Your diet in the summer should consist of sweet, bitter, astringent flavors and be light and easy to digest. • Breakfast: Eat liquid nourishing breakfasts such as almond milk. Grind some soaked and peeled almonds, mix into some warm milk (cow or rice), add saffron and some sweetener if you like (not honey). • Lunch: Eating at around noon when the sun is at its zenith is best. Try kicharee as a cooling nutritive meal; Kicharee recipe: 1/3 cup organic mung dal, 2/3 organic basmati rice (or other grain) simmered in 3-4 cups of water (a ratio of 1:3 or 1:4). Add 1/4 tsp each of organic turmeric, fresh ginger, roasted cumin and coriander. Add peppermint leaves and fresh coriander as cooling digestive herbs. Add seasonal organic vegetables: Asparagus, green leafy vegetables, and summer squash for an all round healing, healthy and digestive fire enkindling meal. The rules are to cook it on a very low heat in a covered saucepan and DO NOT stir it after all the ingredients are added (or you end up with a mush!). • Add a teaspoon of ghee or hemp seed oil at the end with some grated fresh coconut. Eat it with cucumber raita as a delicious condiment. Some green salad is ok at lunchtime as well. • For supper have a light meal of basmati rice, sprouted mung beans and green leafy vegetables. Do not eat salad at night as it will aggravte vata. • In the summer it is best to avoid all dark meats such as beef, lamb and pork as well as citrus fruits, tomato, garlic, onion, salt and sour dairy products as these all increase pitta. • It may be useful to take Organic Aloe vera juice (50ml/day) throughout the summer to clear pitta from the digestive system. Take it first thing in the morning.

How to Use Watermelon Rind As a Medicine:
Health benefits of eating watermelon rind
1) Fights free radicals
According to the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, citrulline is a compound found in watermelon rind that plays a role in banishing free radicals. It’s converted to an amino acid that ultimately provides heart and immune system protection and keeps harmful toxins from residing in the body.
2) May boost libido
Researchers from Texas A&M’s Fruit and Vegetable Improvement Center have noted that citrulline helps blood vessels relax and can even help with erectile dysfunction. In fact, its ability to boost blood flow have led to watermelon’s citrulline to be referred to as “nature’s Viagra.”
3) Weight loss
