CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEW
Make your mornings more efficient by preparing a batch of these 'Buckwheat Bran Muffins with Applesauce & Walnuts'. It's easy to get side sidelined first thing in the morning. You have a long list of tasks for the day ahead and are keen to get started, but don't let the morning panic get the better of you and skip breakfast completely. You will be more productive and feel grounded as you carry out your work when you take the time for a bite to eat. Support DigestionSweet and warming, these muffins will satisfy your tummy without burdening digestion. The sour burst of cranberry and crunch of walnut add taste and texture. They feel light in your stomach in comparison to the heavy, dull sensation of a processed version. The high fibre content in this recipe will support healthy elimination and leave you feeling energetic and full all morning. Warming cinnamon, cardamom and ginger will stimulate digestive strength and burn digestive toxins. Grab and GoA fresh cooked meal won't always be possible each morning, but instead of neglecting the hunger pangs completely, take some time at the weekend to prepare in advance. You'll thank yourself on those hectic mornings when you simply don't have the time. A store bought muffin is likely to be nutritionally void with a high sugar content, so make sure to favor wholesome, homemade recipes such as this one.

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.
