How Can This Ayurvedic Recipe Make You Feel Great?AYURVEDIC ANALYSISSummer heat makes your heart beat fast & heavy. With so much overheated blood, you'll notice the tip of your tongue turns red. The excessive blood flow aggravates your liver, and could cause your temper to flare. Honeydew and cucumber refresh your body in summertime. They cool your blood, soothe your liver and calm your temper. Mint is a perky addition that cools you down by helping you perspire. WHY EAT AN AYURVEDIC DIET?Eating Ayurvedically makes you feel nourished and energized. An Ayurvedic diet is tailored to your individual body type and the specific imbalances you are working with at any given time. Ayurveda shows you your specific body type’s needs and what should be favored in your Ayurvedic menu. Watch as you eat less but feel more satisfied because what you are eating truly nourishes you.
