CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEW
The pungent flavor of chipotle and the drying cumin help balance the slimy okra and sweet butternut squash, making this dish relatively safe for Kapha. Although okra may look and taste mucous-provoking, the astringent quality of okra also plays a role to balance Kapha. Turmeric helps regulate the butternut squash's sweet taste. Altogether, this is a healthy and tasty dish. WHAT IS SAUTEED CHIPOTLE & CUMIN OKRA OVER BUTTERNUT SQUASH?Sweet, orange butternut squash mixes with the red smokey flavor of chipotle. Cumin, chipotle, and frying all balance the sliminess of okra, giving great flavor and texture to this dish. Discovered in the southwest near Albuquerque, NM.

INCREASES
Increases These Biocharacteristics (Gunas)
Functional Ayurveda helps you assess imbalances through 20 main biocharacteristics
(gunas).
Aggravating these characteristics weakens your body and causes imbalance.
By knowing which characteristics are habitually imbalanced in your body, you will be able to identify and correct imbalances before you get sick.
Every characteristic has an opposite which balances it (i.e. hot balances cold).
You restore balance by favoring diet and lifestyle choices that increase the opposite characteristic.

The Three Doshas / Body Types
According to the biocharacteristic theory of medicine,
people tend to get sick, over and over again, due to habitual causes and imbalances that are unique to the person.
Your body type summarizes this tendency, showing you the 'type' of conditions and imbalances that frequently challenge your health & wellness.
Using body type, you can also identify remedies likely to improve your strength and resiliency.
Your body type identifies physical and mental characteristics as well as your personal strengths and weaknesses.
The calculation of your body type is based on your medical history.
The 3 functional body types
(doshas),
are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha).
Catabolic individuals tend to break down body mass into energy. They are easily stimulated, hyperactive, underweight and dry.
Metabolic individuals tend to burn or use energy. They tend to be rosy-cheeked, easily irritated, focused, driven, and easily inflamed.
Anabolic individuals tend to store energy as body mass. If they store too much energy, they could gain weight easily and have congestion. Anabolic people tend to be stable and grounded.
