Apples With Lemon Zest & Honey |
Begin with zesting one lemon, roll the lemon along the grater to ensure that you only peel off the 'yellow layer' also known as the zest. Aroma fills the air and the dish is under way. Next core the apple and cut in flat horizontal circles. Cutting in concentric thin strips allows your tongue to receive more of the apple's flesh, the sweetness of the inside, rather than the bitterness of the peel with every bite. Once sliced, arrange the apples on a plate, drizzle with honey and garnish with the lemon zest. A very refreshing, light and slightly sweet celebration for your taste buds.

Each dosha reflects a distinct metabolic nature and describes strengths & weaknesses in bodily function, and how these affect energy levels, digestion, susceptibility to disease, and many other tendencies.
Your metabolic nature not only affects your physical characteristics, but also influences your mental thought patterns, confidence, and enthusiasm.
Ayurveda balances these metabolic strengths & weaknesses to support your body's vitality and prevent recurrent disease cycles. This support is a critical aid, especially in chronic or incurable disease conditions.
The 3 metabolic body types (doshas), are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha).
Through dosha, Ayurveda empowers people to identify metabolic imbalances early, break repetitive patterns of disease, and cultivate habits that support long-term vitality and well-being.
Ultimately, these metabolic patterns also provide a framework for understanding yourself, including body, mind, and spiritual tendencies.
