How Does This Ayurvedic Recipe Improve Wellness?

CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEW


Warm, comforting with a bitter bite, this 'Omelette with Kale, Beets & Goat Cheese' is a hearty way to start your day.

Build Strength & Stamina

Both eggs and goat cheese are heavy and oily. These qualities build tissue and support the body in maintaining strength and stamina. Heavy ingredients are more difficult to digest, but this recipe balances the heaviness with some lighter ingredients. This meal nourishes and grounds the nervous system, leaving you feeling calm yet energized throughout the day.

Cleanse with Bitters

There is more to this omelette than meets the eye. Kale and beets add a cleansing component to the recipe. They are both cholagogues, which means they stimulate the release of bile from the gallbladder, enhancing digestion. They are both also bitter to taste. Bitter foods are light, cooling and drying. These qualities work to cleanse the blood of toxins and also suppresses cravings for sweet and salty food.

Metabolic Nature of Omelette with Kale, Beets & Goat Cheese

See a complete list of all biocharacteristics.

METABOLIC NATURE

Metabolic Nature

Ayurveda assesses metabolic imbalances through 20 main biocharacteristics (gunas). Aggravating them weakens your body and causes imbalance. By knowing which biocharacteristics are habitually imbalanced in your body, you will be able to identify and correct metabolic imbalances before you get sick. Every biocharacteristic has an opposite which balances it (i.e. hot balances cold). You restore balance by favoring diet and lifestyle choices that increase the opposite biocharacteristic.

TASTES

The 6 Tastes

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?

DOSHAS

The Three Doshas / Body Types

Ayurveda is a metabolic theory of medicine that explains individual health, tendencies, and disease patterns through the concept of doshas, which can be understood as your metabolic patterns and tendencies.

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.
