Ayurveda & New Year Resolutions: A Holistic Path to Wellness

As the New Year unfolds, many of us take the opportunity to set resolutions —goals that promise a fresh start and pave the way for a healthier and more balanced life. While traditional resolutions often focus on quick fixes or drastic changes, incorporating Ayurvedic principles into your goals can create a sustainable and holistic path to wellness. Ayurveda, the ancient science of life, emphasizes balance, mindfulness, and harmony, offering timeless wisdom to help you achieve your aspirations for the year ahead. Understanding Ayurveda’s Approach to Resolutions Ayurveda views health as a dynamic balance between mind , body, and spirit. Instead of focusing on one-size-fits-all solutions, it encourages personalized approaches based on your unique constitution, or Prakriti . By aligning your resolutions with your Dosha (Vata, Pitta, or Kapha) , you can create a plan that resonates with your natural tendencies and supports long-term well-being.

Brussel's Sprouts With Pomegranate Seeds 💚❤💚

Love them or hate them, there’s no denying that Brussel’s sprouts are a vitamin-packed addition to any meal… This mini, sweet and tender cabbage is a cruciferous vegetable, which means that it has the fantastic ability of aiding the metabolisation of excess estrogen, helping to prevent estrogen dominance. Our Brussel’s sprout recipe is also packed with antioxidants, which help to slow down the effects of ageing as well as protect your body against cancer-causing free radicals.

Sprouts are best eaten in winter when they are seasonally available, as they’re sweeter and it’s better from a sustainability perspective. This means that they’re ideal for adding to your winter table as part of a larger dish or as a side, so why not experiment with them and banish once and for all the idea that sprouts have to be bland and boring?!

We have included delicious pomegranate seeds in this recipe to bring colour and flavour to your dish. Nutritionally, nuts and seeds are pretty amazing: they’re a good source of protein, healthy fats, fibres, vitamins and minerals. Mounting evidence suggests that eating nuts and seeds daily can lower your risk of diabetes and heart disease, and may even lengthen your life.

Makes: 4 portions
Takes: 5 minutes to prepare

Ingredients:

Method:

1. Heat oil and butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add sprouts and sizzle for 10 minutes, checking and shaking.

2. Once you are happy with how the sprouts look and feel, take them off the heat, toss through pomegranate seeds, season with salt and tip into a serving dish. Drizzle with molasses and scatter with almonds.

          Life is hard. Every day it seems like a new challenge appears to test your patience. You may not realize that chronic stress can also lead to long-term health complications. Living in a constant state of fight-or-flight tells your body to produce too much cortisol which can lead to weight gain, diabetes, mood swings, fatigue, and many other conditions. ( 1 ) While it’s important to take steps to manage stress, certain calming herbs can help strengthen your body’s stress response. Adaptogens are some of the best calming herbs because studies show they might make your body and mind more resilient to external stress. Keep in mind that adaptogens don’t work like prescription drugs for anxiety in that they kick in instantly. Instead, they need a few weeks to build up in your system before you notice the effects. When you need something in a pinch, however, other herbs and  essential oils  – like lavender oil – can ease symptoms almost instantly. 1...
