How incredible does it feel to have mental clarity, balanced emotions, and sustained energy throughout the day? Or maybe you easily deal with stress and disturbances, feeling an inner peace and calm? This article will teach you how to Increase your vitality and eliminate toxins: Ojas and Amas.Ayurveda and OjasIn Ayurveda, Ojas is the luster of life. It is our vital life-force and is actually considered the biochemical equivalent to bliss!Ojas is the subtle essence related to health, vitality, immunity, and well-being.&nbsp;When our ojas is strong, we experience all of the feelings described above. Other sign of strong ojas are:Healthy appetite and digestionStrong immunityRegular eliminationPhysical strength and staminaGeneral feeling of blissRadiant glowStable, centered, grounded energyMental and physical claritySounds amazing right?? I don\u2019t know about you, but when I first learned about ojas, all I could think was \u201cso how do I get more of that!?\u201dThe majority of our ojas results from clear digestion and the foods we eat, which is why Ayurveda considers digestion is the key factor to health. When our digestive system can fully break down our food, assimilate the beneficial nutrients, and evacuate what\u2019s not needed, we inevitably feel radiant, refreshed, and rejuvenated! Our cells are full of the energy it needs and eliminates the toxins that it don\u2019t serve the body. Therefore, stronger your digestion, the more Ojas you have!Ayurveda and AmasIf our digestion isn\u2019t functioning strongly, it results in a build-up of toxins, called ama. Ama is typically typically described as undigested food and\/or build-up within the body, however there are multiple factors that contribute to this accumulation. Our lifestyles, relationships, thoughts, and frequencies, such as technology affect our vitality as well.Causes ama (toxicity) in our bodies and minds?Unhealthy thoughtsOver, under, binge, emotional eatingProcessed foods, meet, sugar, cheesePhysical or emotional traumaChronic illness or painExcess travelLack of sleepAgingAlcohol, smoking, drugsJealousy, anger, hatred, fearStress, overworkWhile ama is typically looked at as a physical substance, it is also an abstract principle and affects our energetic bodies as well.&nbsp;Let\u2019s face it. Most of our lives have been bombarded with toxic loads, both internally and externally. If our bodies and minds are left out of balance, over time it results in illness. So before it gets to that point, it\u2019s important to begin to recognize our own ama&#8230;making changes to eliminate it, allowing an increase in ojas!How can you INCREASE your Ojas (vitality)?The number one thing you can do is heal your digestion:Consume organic, local, easy to digest foods that are pure (single, plant-based ingredients)&nbsp;Include: Grains, cooked vegetables, fresh fruit, nuts, and seedsAdd all 6 tastes into your diet Enjoy spices that support your digestionEat mainly lightly cooked, easy to chew foods until you\u2019re 75% fullChoose foods for your dosha and the seasonAdjust your lifestyleSpend time in natureMeditation, deep breathing, journaling, spiritual practicesEliminate activities, relationships, environments that cause you stressIncrease gentle exercise, such as walks, dance, yogaSelf-care practices (Abhyanga: Self-oil massage, dry brushing, tongue scraping, warm bath)Spend time with animals and childrenMindset (surrendering to what life hands us, positive thoughts,&nbsp;Get creative! (create art, redecorate your house, play your favorite music, make a vision board, make your home your sanctuary)Acts of service (volunteering, spending time with children or animals) Spiritual practicesTrue wellness and pure bliss occurs as we increase our ojas (life-force)&nbsp; and decrease ama (toxins\/toxicity). Fortunately, Ayurveda helps us regain our balance and reclaim our health again on all levels.&nbsp;You are the books you read, the food you eat, the movies you watch, the people you spend your time with, the music you listen to, the thoughts in your mind, the conversations you engage in, and the words you say to yourself. Choose wisely.You will begin to feel lighter, clearer, healthier, happier, and be glowing in no time!Try My Healthy Digestion to increase vitality.Author: Carolyn Crews (YouVeda Wellness Contributor)"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Increase Your Vitality and Eliminate Toxins: Ojas and Amas","item":"https:\/\/www.youveda.com\/increase-your-vitality-and-eliminate-toxins-ojas-and-amas\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
