Cook a Spiced Apple Breakfast that Keeps the Doctor Away

According to Ayurveda, a cooked apple a day indeed keeps the doctor away. Starting the day with warm, cooked apples helps to stimulate regular bowel movements, builds the appetite for lunch, and increases alertness. This breakfast helps to pacify and counter-balance symptoms of increased air/space (Vata) and calms anxiety, especially in the colder months. Cinnamon is a warming spice and clove enhances digestion and metabolism and also counters gas and bloating.
