AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON OVEREAT MORE THAN 2X/WEEK

Feasting and overeating are not new phenomena. For thousands of years, celebratory feasts have been commonplace in cultures around the world as a way of bonding, enjoying the fruits of the harvest, and as symbols of generosity & wealth. Your body is thus able to handle a degree of occasional overeating, maybe once a month at most. However, when overeating becomes habitual, it deserves your attention and modification.

Overeating more than twice a week can cause stomach distention, indigestion, weight gain, lethargy, foul body odor, and sluggishness so it's important to determine the roots why you're overeating. Does overeating at dinner provide a kind of calm and satisfaction after a long, hectic work day? Are you routinely overeating because of an expectation you learned in childhood that you would needed to eat "everything on your plate," regardless of your hunger or fullness? Was overeating a coping mechanism that helped you get through a stressful time in the past (read about stress overeating here)? Uncovering the roots of your overeating pattern can help you find freedom and avoid the deleterious effects of recurrent overindulgence.

AVOID ACCUMULATION IN STAGE OF DISEASE 0

OVEREAT MORE THAN 2X/WEEK IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE 0 - POTENTIAL CAUSE

Potential causes increase and disturb your imbalanced doshas and biocharacteristics, causing them to accumulate and spiral out of control. For example, if you're overheated and eat a chili pepper, heat may become excessive and cause disease. As a dosha or biocharacteristic accumulates in your body according to your dietary and lifestyle habits, it is more and more likely to cause disease. You can reduce an imbalanced dosha or biocharacteristic in two ways, by removing, or lessening the frequency of aggravating causes from your diet and lifestyle, as well as by favoring balancing diet and lifestyle practices. For example, try eating something as cool as a cucumber when you're overheated, instead of a chili pepper. (See all disease stages on JB)
