What's My Body Type?
The foundation of Ayurvedic healing is diet and lifestyle. While it seems obvious that healthy foods are important for health, your lifestyle also has a powerful effect on your well-being. You are what you eat, and how you live. The health of one's lifestyle is often overlooked. You may eat the most organic, wholesome food but without the proper lifestyle - you can still get sick.

The classical texts of Ayurveda testify that a proper daily routine (dinacarya) ensures long term thriving and prevent disease. Just as diet is tailored to the uniqueness of each individual, so is lifestyle routine. Vata folks do better with more rest than Kapha folks. Pitta people need to be soothed more than any other dosha to balance their intensity. Kapha people need vigorous activity. Creating a healthy lifestyle is one of the safest, simplest and most affordable ways to impact your well being.

There are many things in life that you can't control. However, you can choose how you breathe through your day, your approach to emotionally demanding situations, and how you spend your leisure time. You can control your style of exercise, how your breath, and how you decorate your home. By harnessing the power of what you can control and adapting it to your specific body's needs, you set yourself up for success as well as optimal health.
