The secrets of mindful eating & stress-free living.
Maradiva Villas Resort & Spa, nestled on the idyllic coast of Mauritius, is not just a luxurious retreat but a holistic wellness oasis. Dr. Praveen Nair, the resident Ayurveda doctor, shares ancient wisdom to optimize digestion and manage stress, offering guests a profound journey of rejuvenation. Ayurveda, known as the “science of life,” prioritizes identifying and resolving the root causes of health issues, promoting long-term well-being and sustainability, allowing guests to continue these practices at home.
This holistic approach is based on a deep understanding of the five elements of nature: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space. Ayurveda recognizes the profound impact these elements have on the body and uses this knowledge to restore balance.
Mindful eating for digestive harmony
To start the day, Dr. Nair recommends warm lemon water, followed by continuous hydration and herbal teas like chamomile and lavender. The use of Ayurvedic superfoods such as basil leaves, cumin seeds, and turmeric enhances digestion. Eating meals at appropriate times, prioritizing green vegetables, ripe fruits, and warm, cooked dishes is crucial. Integrating fiber-rich options, probiotics, and stress-relief antioxidants like berries, spinach, and fish improves overall health.
Relaxing the mind and body for restful sleep
Open communication is essential to prevent emotional tension. Dr. Nair recommends immersing in nature’s tranquility and soothing music. Activities such as gentle yoga, tai chi, walks, and basic breathing exercises promote relaxation. Bedtime rituals, like Yoga Nidra meditation and reflexology massages, release tension. Daily self-massage routines with sesame oil and exploring the calming effects of essential oils like ylang-ylang, lavender, and frankincense contribute to recovery.
