Healthy takeaways
To a user's comment on whether one can take fruits along with whey protein post workout for breakfast, Ganeriwal replies, "the best time to eat fruits is 10am to 5pm."
To another comment on triphala water which is commonly used in Indian households given its Ayurvedic benefits, Ganeriwal has also shared an important piece of information.
"Hi Munmun, just had a query. I have started phase 1 and taking triphala with warm water every morning empty stomach. But I puke within 15-20 minutes after taking triphala. Rest herbs are all ok no reactions, only with triphala. Is this normal??"
The reply: "Hi, it doesn't happen with everyone. In your case, it means there's lot of inflammation and mucus which is being expelled out. In a way, for you, it's a good sign. It will not go on like this forever, after few days, when there's no more to clear, throwing up will stop. However, if you do not like this process, then you can mix triphala with honey and then have it in the morning, after 10 mins, you can have warm water. Consuming this way, you will not throw up. Hope it helps."
Morning rituals
We all have a specific set of rituals that we religiously or sometimes occasionally follow. While some people prefer having amla juice in the morning, amla juice does not go well with many.
Despite the several Ayurvedic benefits, people do not respond to herbal and natural products in the same way. These rituals are not applicable to all and differ from person to person.
It is therefore essential to adopt morning rituals under the supervision of an expert.
