How To Maximize The Health Benefits Your Body Could Get on Your Ayurvedic Ingredients in Any Hot or Cooked Food

It is therefore important not to kill enzymes or let it oxidate in fruits case - when we eat. A certain level of heat could either kill or turn enzyme into something else and sometimes, instead of getting the health benefits we want from a certain food we are eating - we actually don't.

Here's how I maximize the enzymes in any Ayurvedic recipe I take - to take it as raw as possible.

How is that possible in a soup or in any cooked food? Here's a sample of a recipe on how to maximize the effects of your Ayurvedic or any healthy recipe ingredients.

This makes two servings only.

Peel and cut the pumpkin into pieces.

Throw into the pan and add half a cup of water or more - it's up to you how thick or thin you would want your soup to be. I prefer mine almost pure.

Let it boil . I cooked the pumpkin at noon because I didn't want to hand blend it hot since my veggie blender is made of plastic. This soup was for dinner -as we don't eat a lot for dinner because we're just going to sleep. It's important to just be full. We only eat much for breakfast and lunch.

Blend the cooked pumpkin.

Add in a teaspoon honey.

Add in a teaspoon oregano.

Sprinkle with salt - just one sprinkle - that's enough.

Bring into a simmer. No, I didn't boil it anymore. I just needed it to simmer since it has already been cooked.

Peel and cut the turmeric, ginger and into smaller cubes. One that would fit in the garlic crusher. Yes, we're not cooking the turmeric, ginger and garlic we'll be squeezing it using a garlic crusher but don't fret yet.

Juice an even amount of the cubes of turmeric, ginger and the peeled garlic in each bowl you'll be serving. If you don't have a garlic crusher, a cheese grater with a teeny tiny hole like the one I used in this Lemon Water Plus post would do. Scrape off and add those bits in the soup - you won't notice they're there.

Cut the broccoli into tiny pieces and place the raw broccoli in the same bowl. Unless your broccoli is organic, don't eat it raw. Chances are - it has been sprayed. If your broccoli isn't declared organic but you found several cabbage worms in it - chances are, it hasn't been sprayed so you can just soak it into salt water for 10 minutes to clean it up. I normally soak some of the vegetables I don't trust in a bowl of water with half a teaspoon baking soda and salt. We eat organic vegetables most of the time because unless we do, we're not really eating healthy.

Scoop your 'just hot - enough soup' in each of the bowls.

Serve with any bread or meat and enjoy. That's a brown bread bruschetta that went with it that night.

Eat right away but haste not in eating.
