Steam Kale until soft in a small amount of water, watching carefully to avoid burning the kale. In a separate pan, sautee garlic in olive oil. Once the garlic is roasted add white beans and kale. Continue heating until beans are thoroughly hot. Remove from heat.
Add red pepper flakes to taste, garnish with Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of vinegar and salt if desired. Continue to heat through until nice and hot. Serve in a bowl with an additional sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and toasty croutons on top for crunch. This is really awesome! Enjoy....

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.
