Three Breakfast Porridge Recipes
A Hot Start to the Day for All Dosha Types
Why should we start the day with a hot breakfast, rather than something cold? Ayurvedic principles stipulate that meals should always be cooked and preferably eaten hot. The Agni, digestive fire, processes the ingested food and, if already cooked, this requires less energy, allowing the body to work more efficiently. Raw food should only be eaten when the digestive fire is at its most powerful, which is at noon, when the sun, Pitta energy and our Agni are in alignment.
Get off to a perfect and productive start with our three delicious breakfast porridge recipes, and give your health a boost while you’re at it.
