WHAT IS AYURVEDA?
The Ayurvedic diet is a holistic approach to eating that aims to promote overall balance and harmony within the body. It is based on the principle that everyone has a unique dosha, or body type, and that by following dietary guidelines specific to your dosha, you can improve your overall health and wellbeing. In addition to focusing on what foods you eat, the Ayurvedic diet also emphasizes the importance of mindfulness when it comes to eating. Mindful eating involves paying close attention to your body's hunger and fullness signals, as well as the taste and texture of the food, in order to fully enjoy and appreciate the eating experience. Practicing mindful eating may help promote self-control and a healthy relationship with food. Ayurveda is often referred to as the sister science of Yoga, and it is based on the principle of food as medicine. According to Ayurveda, all disease begins in the mind and gradually manifests in the body. By understanding how our body processes prana (life force) in all forms, including food, we can begin to understand how the prana we receive affects our bodies and overall health.
With the guidance of an Ayurveda nutritionist you can determine your prakruti (individual constitution) and Vikruti (current imbalance) and also learn a lot about your body, energy and mind. By following an Ayurvedic diet tailored to your specific needs and incorporating mindfulness into your eating habits, you can achieve greater balance and harmony within your body.
