How Does This Ayurvedic Recipe Improve Wellness?
CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEW
Sweet, salty, with wonderful crunch, Coconut Maple Popcorn is the perfect addition to your repertoire of snacks. Made with rich maple syrup, nourishing coconut oil, and sprinkled with salty goodness, you'll be amazed at the new heights reached by this preparation of regular-old popcorn. Curl up on the couch to share a big bowl on movie night with the family!
Sweetly Healthy Snack
Heavy constitutions like Kapha can enjoy light sweets like Coconut Maple Popcorn without fear of gaining weight. Just go light on the salt to utilize the drying qualities of corn to feel light and even stimulate weight loss.
Popcorn & Your Digestion
Popcorn absorbs fluids from your body. For heavy constitutions, this quality can be beneficial. On the other hand, deficient Vata types become dehydrated and thirsty after munching on dry snacks. Popcorn dries the colon in particular as it continues to absorb much needed moisture, leading to constipation.
By adding salt to this recipe, you can keep your body hydrated while enjoying crunchy popcorn. Wherever salt appears in the body, water follows. Salt encourages secretions in membranes of your GI tract, all the way to your colon. Thus salt promotes good digestion and elimination of the bowels. Coconut oil is a healthy fat that adds nourishment to this otherwise dry snack. Oil is necessary in a treat like popcorn to coat the rough edges of each kernel- they're a little rough on your insides without it.
For the Kid in You (or your Family)
Coconut Maple Popcorn is a treat you can feel good about offering the little one in your life, or in your heart. This low sugar snack is sweet enough for kids to feel like they are having candy! And you can feel confident that they won't be sent into a spin of sugar madness thanks to mineral rich maple syrup- it digests more slowly than other sweeteners. It's a favorite in Ayurveda for that reason!

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.
Taste is used to sense the most basic properties and effects of food.
Each taste has a specific medicinal effect on your body.
Cravings for food with certain tastes indicate your body is craving specific medicinal results from food.
Taste is experienced on the tongue and represents your body's reaction to foods.
Sweet taste causes physical satisfaction and attraction whereas bitter taste causes discomfort and aversion.
Kapha should use less sweet taste while Vata and Pitta would benefit from using more sweet taste.
One of the first signs of illness is that your taste and appetite for food changes.
The six tastes are sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent.
Do you crave foods with any of the tastes below?
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.
