Cut fennel into strips. In a medium saucepot, sautee fennel stalk with oil 4-5 minutes. Add chopped garlic and continue cooking for thirty seconds, before the garlic turns brown and roasted.
Add 1c water or, for best results, vegetable stock. Add orange zest, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Simmer on low heat until fennel is tender.
Meanwhile, roast the almonds slightly in a pan.
When the fennel is tender, transfer to a covered bowl and continue reducing water in half. Pour over fennel. Garnish with almonds.

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.
