1. This recipe is tasty with either canned or fresh corn. If you are using corn on the cob, fill a large saucepan 2/3 full of water and bring to a boil. Add corn and lower heat to simmer for 10-15 minutes, until corn is easily pierced with a fork. Remove from water and set aside.
2. Chop onions & rinse with boiling water to talk away the pungency. Seed & rinse 1/2 jalapeno and chop finely. Pick cilantro off the stems.
3. Dice bell peppers and cucumbers.
4. Gently mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Save a little cilantro to use as a garnish. Also, feel free to squeeze a little lime juice if you like for added brightness.
Serve chilled!

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.
