AGNI- FIRE ELEMENT, THE SECOND OF THE FIVE BASIC ELEMENTS IN THE BODY; REGULATES TEMPERATURE,PERFORMANCE ,DIGESTION, ABSORPTION AND ASSIMILATION IF INGESTED FOOD, AND TRANSFORMS FOOD INTO ENERGY OR CONSCIOUSNESS
.
Signs of balanced Agni
Vibrant energy
Clear and glowing skin
Mental clarity
Feeling into the sensation of hunger
Consistent and regular bowel movements and well formed stools
If you feel tired after a meal, it is a sign of weak digestion. It’s like you have added a log to a weak flame, now energy needs to be used to burn through the log and reset the fires
A few ways you can start to increase your digestive fire and improve your digestion, absorption and assimilation are:
Start your day with warm water not cold
Sip on hot water throughout the day
Avoid drinking ice cold beverages as these extinguish digestive flame
Avoid drinking large amounts of liquids-with meals
Make lunch your bigger and main meal of the day - this is when the sun energy is strongest and digestive fire is highest
