Habit 1: Ealier, Lighter Dinners

Many of us eat after 6 pm, when digestion starts to get very weak. When we eat late, we put a load on our body that detracts from a more efficient body. If you don’t eat late, but you eat too heavy at night, the same thing is true.

Lesson 1 could have also been named Lighter or Plant-Based Dinners. The rule of thumb is that our digestive fire isn’t strong at night. Our human body doesn’t produce much bile in the evening to burn through heavy meals, fat or protein. It’s best to eat dinner lighter and earlier, if you want to:

• sleep deeply

• have energy the next day

• keep your body light

With all of the habits we will be upgrading during the Yoga Health Coaching program, the important thing is small, regular success. Don’t try to change your mealtime by 3 hours, or go from a 1000 calorie meal to a green salad.

Go gradual. Be regular. Notice the effects.

Good luck. We’ve got your back.
