Eating and headaches

Dear Andreas,
Just read your response to a question below..."You can trust that whatever you feel strong resistance towards, that's where the solution to your problems lies". How wonderfully true, thank you!
My question is that I've become ever so much more sensitive to slight effects of foods on my system. I live close to my work so I walk home for lunch every day. I eat food that I've cooked late the evening before, reheated in the oven or stovetop. Then I walk back to work. Often I feel a slight headache immediately after eating. It is usually gone by the time I've walked back to work. What could be causing this? I am not getting the headaches after eating in the evening or breakfast. I'm eating an Ayurvedic diet for my body type. The other thing I've noticed is that when I snack on almonds (not blanched) I get the same slight headache immediately after eating.
I would appreciate any thoughts you have on this pretty small but nonetheless annoying thing.
Have a great day!
Thank you,
janakiAdvertisement

I personally never eat food that has been reheated. My body simply cannot eat old food. Food is considered old (loss of life force and vital elements) after one hour of cooking, except rice and some beans. The loss of life forece is irreversable. Reheating the food increases bacteria. Both factors prompt the body to reject the food and pass it along undigested, leading to fermentation, toxins, gases and increase in destructive bacteria. Headaches are likely.
Eating foods that require several hours of digestion when the stomach is not yet empty, can affect stomach health and cause pressure in the forehead. Almonds can very well do that. Eating a piece of fruit, would have a different effect if eaten 2 1/2 hours after a meal since it would remin in the stomach, but pass through into the small intestine. It is better to eat almonds with a meal.

Thank you for your response. I had considered that but hoped it might not be the case. I've made so many changes to my diet in the past year and so many changes to my daily schedule to accommodate it, but I've never been able to figure out how I can eat a fresh lunch (unless I go to restaurants)...or eat raw at lunch. Hubby can't be counted-on to cook.
What do people do who work full-time, and try to fit in a yoga practice, also my teaching etc? Someone had given a recipe for a thermos kitcheree that cooks during the morning on its own and then is ready for noon. Would something like that be an option?
As funny as it sounds, I suspect my answer might be to stop working in an office 9 to 5. My heart is just not here...but that's another thing I'm working on.
Do you have any practical suggestions?
Warm regards,

Janaki -
I can really identify with the question of what to eat and your challenge of working 9-5. I lost my job a couple years ago and haven't been hired for another one yet (even with great skills, experience and references!) I think it is because my heart isn't there either. "Patiently" (sometimes anxiously) awaiting "right work" to manifest.\

This is a reply to # 487,596Thanks Deborah!
Yes, I know I'm probably not alone with this question. I'm trying to be really careful with what I mentally manifest for myself. I've realized how many boo boos I've made in that regard!
Take care,
Janaki

This is a reply to # 487,595hi Janaki,
I completely sympathise with this problem. I solved it (or partially solved it) by using timers, electric rice cooker, 9 ply waterless cookware. I prepare everything before going to work, set everyting on timers & when i come home for lunch everything is ready! Will be happy to eleborate on the menu if interested, it is a good vata meal with vegges, grains, ghee, red lentils etc
Put extra pressure in the morning tho.
Best Wishes,
Standfast

I was thinking of buying a slow cooker, but was afraid it would over-cook things. I tend to cook my veggies only lightly and I don't use water. I'd love more detail on what you prepare.
