OJAS AND AGNI
Ojas building foods are sweet, unctuous, heavy, and cool: such as dates, milk, almonds, avos, ghee. Such foods are always prepared warm, using digestive spices, and maybe enjoyed on an empty stomach, or as an evening tonic, depending on the person’s digestive capacity.

It’s one thing to know what substances support the body best, and how all that nutrition gets around, but if it’s not being digested well, to begin with, anything that enters the body is potentially more harmful than helpful. Poorly digested food is the beginning of the disease. This is where the concept of Agni comes in, the digestive fire at the center of it all that transforms food into nutrition.
From an Ayurveda point of view, digestion is a key factor in immunity. To be vital and feel juicy requires a body that is getting full power from its food. There is so much more to share about how to use ojas-factor foods in the best way and how to get strong from within.
