Eating ideal Food, along with healthy digestion is seen as the cornerstone of well-being in Ayurveda.

Healthy eating not only improves your whole body, it also improves your mental state and emotional mood.
WHAT IS AN AYURVEDIC DIET LIKE?
Ayurveda takes you out of the book, and back into your body with food. Nutritional
information, book knowledge, and even the blood test you took last week can't tell you which
vitamins and minerals you need today, right now. So you need a reliable way to make food
choices moment to moment. Ayurveda gives you a clear, concise road map to make great
food choices. From helping you understand your food cravings to identifying a satisfying,
alluring option that you know is optimal - down deep in your bones.
An Ayurvedic diet is tailored to your individual body type and the specific imbalances you
are working with at any given time. It's a custom fit diet for your body, so it's unique for each
person. It also recognizes that your diet changes over time with the seasons,
your stress level
and age. Ayurvedic food is flavorful, tasty, and enjoyable.
It's based on the 6 tastes
- sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter and astringent. Each taste has medicinal properties that are taken into
account in creating the right diet for you. An Ayurvedic diet is also wholesome, healthy and
delicious - flavored specifically for your palate. When you eat Ayurvedically, you'll find your
meals always "hit the spot." This is why cooks love Ayurveda so much! Say goodbye to
preservatives and packaging and hello to a colorful plate of fresh and enlivening real food.
Watch as you eat less but feel more satisfied because what you are eating truly nourishes you.
WHO NEEDS AN AYURVEDIC DIET?
Everyone can benefit from eating a diet that best suits their body type. We all want health,
emotional stability, and mental strength. Don't wait until you are ill to start eating Ayurvedically -
instead enjoy your life today by inviting Ayurveda's highly sensual and delicious food into your
life.
WHY AND HOW DOES AN AYURVEDIC DIET WORK?
An Ayurvedic diet takes your unique body type and aggravated qualities (explained above)
into account, recognizing that diets are not one size fits all. For example - individuals with a
Vata body type often need more protein while those with a Kapha body type often need more
roughage. By eating a healthy diet that's ideal for your body, you experience optimal health.

AYURVEDA AND DIGESTION
Ayurveda is an especially powerful way to heal your digestion. For thousands of years digestion
has been viewed as the root of all health and wellness in Ayurveda, and so Ayurveda has an
elegant approach that is both vast and comprehensive.
Simply put, when you eat good food and digest it well, you build good blood. As if by magic,
digestive enzymes inside your stomach break down the food you eat into nutrients your body
can utilize. Once these nutrients are broken down and absorbed into your blood they are fed to
your vital organs. Therefore, the better your digestion, the better your blood, the better your
organs, and the better your health. Ayurveda never forgets that good nutrition depends on
good digestion.
As awe inspiring as digestion is, it is not beyond your influence. In fact, your influence over
your own food choices and digestive capacity is one of the greatest opportunities you have to
influence your blood chemistry, and therefore your health. Anytime you take medicine, the first
interaction of your body with the medicine happens in the digestive tract. The most profound
way your body interacts with your environment - food or medicine, is by eating it. Food and
digestion is where your body meets nature in the most profound way, a fact you can harness
to your advantage. In short, your influence over your digestion can be a determining factor in
your state of health and wellness.
