Spring season

Spring season can be seen as the fresh phase in the year for many reasons. Some of which includes the beautiful weather as well as the growth of flowers and other vegetation. One can take advantage of the positivity and fresh beginnings that the spring brings. This can be done by incorporating these healthy lifestyle routines into their daily activities. One of the many ways to do this is by going for jogs or visiting parks and other recreational locations to relieve stress. 

Another simple way to stay healthy in spring is to use the benefits of Ayurveda. Ayurveda therapies and practices can be used to shake off the sluggishness that usually accompanies past winters. This can be done through the right dieting, exercising and yoga to mention a few. Below is a list of tips on how you can use Ayurveda to achieve good health in spring. 

AYURVEDA TIPS FOR A HEALTHY SPRING

• Detoxifying the body: This can simply be done by cleansing out toxins that might be inhibiting the important organs of the body. A good way to start cleansing is by avoiding alcohol, excess sugar, cooking oils and red meat. In doing, this you will be able to avoid the harmful toxins and substances that are detrimental to your liver in the long run.
• Breathing Exercises (Pranayama): There is a vast range of breathing exercises that can be practised in Ayurveda. The fresh warm air and the relaxing aura of spring season make it such a good time to practice these breathing techniques. One of these breathing techniques is Samma Vrtti, a breathing exercise that entails inhaling and exhaling over time intervals of five seconds. This means breathing in for five seconds, and then breathing out for the same amount of time with small pauses (of two or three seconds) in between. This exercise can be done over ten minutes. 
• Healthy Diet: Another important health tip for the spring season is to practice daily intake of green vegetables and fruits. It is highly beneficial to consume vegetables and fruits due to their ability to detoxify the liver and bladder as well as support the immune system. 

These practices contribute to overall mental and physical health. They provide balance, alleviate the mind and increase productivity. 

Apart from these practices, there are several other ways to stay healthy all through spring. Getting the appropriate amount of sleep is necessary to increase energy levels during the day and stay mentally alert. It is also helpful to go decorate your work and home spaces with flowers and other plants for fresh air and overall beauty.
