What do exclamation points mean?

Help with Joyful Belly | Creating Diets on Joyful Belly | What do exclamation points mean?

'' Exclamations in General

Generally, exclamation points mean that a recipe or ingredient is contraindicated for a diet. Hold your mouse pointer over the exclamation icon to find out why. Contraindicated is just a fancy word for ‘unhealthy’ used in medical texts.

'' Fixing Recipes with Exclamation Points

The synergy of the whole recipe overcomes the qualities of individual ingredients. Some ingredients balance each other out cancelling the bad effects. Balanced recipes make ayurveda less restrictive since we can still enjoy our favorite ingredients. Most recipes, even healthy ones, have one or two ingredients with exclamations. Check to make sure the recipe itself doesn't have an exclamation point on top.

If a recipe you like has an exclamation next to the title, you may be able to substitute contra-indicated ingredients and create a similar recipe that is balanced for your dosha. Simply look for an ingredient in the recipe with an exclamation point and click on the '' button.

questions & comments
Every one of the ingredients for almond chai tea have an exclamation point. Is it good for me because of the blend?

Check to see if the recipe itself has an exclamation point. If it doesn't, let me know. Since all the ingredients have an exclamation point, it is probably not good for you. But that is unusual for this recipe. What have you checked off from your diet page?
