7 Steps to Health and Longevity
Part 2
by Shreelata Suresh

While ayurvedic healers do not specify a blanket quantity, they recommend using your urine as a guide to whether you need to drink more water "- if your urine is not clear or it looks too concentrated, you need more water.

Inadequate water can cause headaches and grogginess and more severe dehydration has even more serious health repercussions. As we grow older, our body's thirst signals become weaker, and it is then even more important to remember to drink enough water through the day.

While we need to drink a lot of water through the day, it's important to sip the water over time rather than gulp down large quantities at a time. Do not drink too much water just before or during a meal.

Ayurvedic healers also recommend spice teas -" water boiled with therapeutic spices -- for added health benefit. Also, remember that it's important to drink water -- milk, caffeinated and alcoholic drinks do not count.

Fruits and vegetables with high water content, fruit and vegetable juices and clear soups suited to your constitution are helpful, but it is also important to drink just plain pure water each day. Make sure the water you drink is pure; have your drinking water tested for purity and use a good filter.

Eat right

This is an exhortation ayurvedic healers never tire of voicing over and over again. The right kind and quantity of food is so important that it is accorded an even higher status than medicine in ayurveda. "Annaha brahmaha" goes the ayurvedic saying -- "Food is divine."

Eating inappropriate foods or following poor eating routines and habits not only have short-term repercussions on energy levels, mental clarity and emotional well-being, they also seriously damage health and well-being over the long-term sometimes causing irreversible damage to the physiology and shortening our life-span.

Ayurvedic healers do not have a "one-size-fits-all" approach to diet and nutrition. Your dietary needs are unique to you, and you have to develop the diet that is ideal for you over time.

There are general guidelines for food choices for people with more or less of each of the three doshas -- vata, pitta and kapha -- in their prakriti (original constitution) and vikriti (current state of the doshas), but within these general guidelines you can choose what works best for you.

Listen to your physiology carefully and it will guide you to the foods that enhance not just your physical but also mental and emotional balance. Whatever your food choices, eat pure, fresh, whole, natural foods.
