The Power of Ojas

In Sanskrit, good immunity and stamina are referred to as ojas. Ojas is considered a gift from Mother Nature, providing us with a variety of foods that can help enhance our ojas. Today, we will explore two recipes for drinks that can increase your immunity and stamina.

Recipe 1: Zesty Smoothie

For this refreshing smoothie, you will need:

100 grams of yogurt
1 teaspoon of lemon zest
1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder
1 teaspoon of honey
1 cup of chopped dragon fruit
1 chopped banana
1/2 cup of berries (choose from strawberries, raspberries, cranberries, or blackberries)

To prepare the zesty smoothie, mix together the yogurt, lemon zest, cinnamon powder, and honey. Add the chopped dragon fruit, banana, and berries. Mix well and serve.

This smoothie can be enjoyed for breakfast, mid-morning, in the evening, on an empty stomach, or after 4 PM. Yogurt contains good bacteria that help convert organic acid into glucose, lower cholesterol, metabolize nutrients, break down enzymes, proteins, and fibers in food, and strengthen the immune system. Lemon zest is rich in antioxidants that may support oral, immune, and heart health. Cinnamon helps stabilize blood sugar levels and prevent fatigue. Honey acts as a food supplement, keeping the glycogen in your muscles balanced and delaying fatigue. Dragon fruit is high in vitamin C, antioxidants, and iron, all of which are beneficial for your immune system. Banana provides natural sugars and starch, offering instant energy to keep you going throughout the day. Berries, especially dark berries, are packed with antioxidants that may reduce inflammation and fatigue in the body.

Recipe 2: Revital Concoction

For this revitalizing drink, gather the following ingredients:

30 ml of amla juice (Indian gooseberry juice)
30 ml of aloe vera juice
15 ml of ginger juice
1 cup of coconut water
1 teaspoonful of soaked chia seeds

Mix all these ingredients together to create the revital concoction. This drink uplifts overall stamina and mood.

Amla is a natural source of vitamin C and is known to boost the performance of macrophages and other cells of the immune system. Aloe vera contains micronutrients that fight against free radical damage in the body and increase immunity. Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties and acts as an antioxidant, improving cardiovascular functioning. The increased blood flow allows more oxygen to reach your tissues, thus raising your energy levels. Chia seeds, despite their small size, are great immunity boosters due to their rich antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids content. Coconut water possesses antiviral and antibacterial properties that can help strengthen your body’s immune system and fight wider infections. Additionally, it provides excellent hydration after exercise for proper recovery and building up stamina.

Personalizing the Drinks

If you have any allergies to the ingredients mentioned in these recipes, it is advisable to avoid them. However, in general, these drinks are safe to consume. To determine whether these drinks suit your body, try consuming them twice a week for a couple of weeks. If they agree with you, consider making it a habit to have these drinks once a week regularly. This will help you build up your strength and stamina over time.

Remember, all these benefits are provided by the bountiful offerings of Mother Nature. Embrace the power of these natural drinks and let them enhance your immunity and stamina. Namaskar!
