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.

Aggravating these characteristics weakens your body and causes imbalance.
By knowing which characteristics are habitually imbalanced in your body, you will be able to identify and correct imbalances before you get sick.
Every characteristic has an opposite which balances it (i.e. hot balances cold).
You restore balance by favoring diet and lifestyle choices that increase the opposite characteristic.
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.
