Special Summer Recipe – Ayurvedic Hydration Drink Summer is giving us long, hot days that dehydrate us faster than other times of year through extra sweating, breathing and activities. Intuitively you’re probably drinking more water, but are you actually absorbing that water? Hydrating isn’t just drinking water; it’s about replacing your body with lost fluids and electrolytes, such as sodium and potassium. Hydration helps you regulate body temperature, energize muscles, boost cognitive function, and keeps your organs working efficiently. This ayurvedic hydration drink recipe helps replace the electrolytes and supports absorption of the water. Enjoy a glass before going out in the heat or recovering from activities. - Lime helps draw in water and electrolytes by increasing digestive strength (agni).  - Cumin helps increase agni and absorption.   - Soma Salt helps replace electrolytes and draw in water.   - Mint clears your channels, making space for the water to be absorbed.  - Sugar helps absorb the electrolytes and provides energy.   - Nutmeg supports agni and the kidneys.   Enjoy a fresh batch daily! Mark your calendar for this month's live classes on July 19th, where we'll be focusing on Poses, Foods and more Drinks to beat the heat! Not a professional member yet?

Hi Carol and Kathleen, The shakes sound delicious. Rounding up my ingredients. Assuming you prefer the Chandi Vegan Protein Powder? Thanks, Kathy Krepps

Hi folks. As a charter member of the better late than never club I have successfully made beautiful paneer! I watched Chef Carol making paneer and realized the major factors that I had been missing in my first attempts. 1. fresh whole milk I think I used possibly old milk on first attempts. The paneer was dry and sour. 2. Patience; oh my just calmly watching the milk as it heated over medium to low heat and stirring it so it did not stick. 3. As soon as the boil came I added the fresh lime juice. I used 2 organic limes. Voilà a beautiful sweet paneer. So delicious and nutritious. Thank you chef Carol.

A fellow community member shared a very interesting article about planning for our healthspan as we age. So much focus is on saving for retirement and making sure we have enough money to take care of us in our LIFESPAN, but my question is this..... How many of us are focused on self-care to extend our HEALTHSPAN? What's the difference? -Lifespan is how long you will live -Healthspan is how well you will live out those years I hope this community will help you expand the duration and quality of your years. Please read the article and share the ways you are taking care of your HEALTHSPAN and how this community can support you. https://drdammhealthspan.substack.com/p/your-retirement-savings-cant-buy?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=6532927&post_id=199486937&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=5q30f4&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email
