New Delhi, January 13 (IANS). There is no need for big changes to stay healthy, just small habits are enough. Ayurveda also recommends a similar small but very beneficial remedy, which is called Ushapan. Drink lukewarm water first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. This easy method is beneficial for the entire body.
The Ministry of AYUSH of the Government of India advises to include Ushapan in daily routine and also enumerates the benefits derived from it. This keeps the stomach clean, the digestive system strong, dirt gets removed from the body and the mind feels refreshed. If possible, keep water in a copper pot or earthen pitcher overnight and drink it. Start your day with a glass of water and see how a small change can change your entire health.
Ushapana is an old tradition of Ayurveda, which involves drinking lukewarm water on an empty stomach as soon as you wake up in the morning. This small step strengthens the digestive system, removes waste from the body and makes you feel healthy throughout the day. Ushapan means drinking water early in the morning. This is a very easy everyday habit that anyone can adopt.
According to Ayurveda, after waking up, first of all wash your hands and feet thoroughly. Then drink a glass of lukewarm or normal temperature water. The best thing is to keep water in a copper pot or earthen pitcher overnight. Copper water is considered very beneficial for the body, because it protects against bacteria and provides essential minerals to the body.
This practice improves health in many ways. First of all it increases digestive power. Drinking water on an empty stomach in the morning stimulates the intestines, due to which stool and urine pass easily. This keeps common problems like constipation, gas, indigestion away. The body also gets detoxed, that is, the toxins accumulated overnight are released. This keeps the skin clean, the body feels light and energy remains.
Ushapan helps in preventing many diseases related to the digestive system and speeds up metabolism, which also helps in controlling weight. By adopting this habit regularly, immunity also gets strengthened and the person remains away from diseases.
