MEDICINAL QUALITIES
INCREASESIncreases These Qualities (Gunas)
Ayurveda helps you assess how you feel through the 20 main therapeutic feelings or qualities
called gunas.
Through the gunas you can articulate, experience and develop sensitivity to the signals your body sends you.
Imbalanced gunas are the root of your imbalances.
Every guna has an opposite which balances is (i.e. hot balances cold).
You create balance by favoring diet and lifestyle choices that increase the opposite guna.
| HEAVY
Heavy is identified by sedation, sluggishness, or increased weight.

TASTESThe 6 Tastes
Taste has meaning in Ayurveda, and brings physical and emotional changes to your body.
Taste is experienced on the tongue and is your body's reaction to foods much in the same way that your emotions are mental reactions to experiences.
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? Food and herbs with the following tastes could aggravate your symptoms.
| SWEET
Sweet refers to anything builds tissue, including macronutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins and fats.

DOSHASThe Three Doshas / Body Types
Your body type shows how your strengths, as well as how your body typically goes out of balance.
It also shows how your body responds to the environment.
Your body type is comprised of certain qualities and affects every part of you
- your physical and mental characteristics as well as your personal strengths and weaknesses.
This is because your body type is based on how your body uses energy.
Ayurveda has 3 body types (doshas), called Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.
Vata spends energy.
Pitta burns energy.
Kapha stores energy.
Vata people tend to be easily stimulated, hyperactive, underweight and dry.
Pitta people tend to be hot, focused, driven, and easily inflamed.
Kapha people are heavy, stable and grounded, but if they store too much energy, they could gain weight easily and have congestion.

HOW DOES EATING AYURVEDICALLY MAKE YOU FEEL?Eating Ayurvedically makes you feel nourished and energized. Food digests with ease when right for your body type (dosha).

I did not have any sesame seeds so I drizzled some sesame oil instead and it tasted pretty good.
If this is cold, heavy and sweet, how is it good for Kapha?
- , 06-13-16 (Reply)
Because of the dryness, potaotes are considered good for Kapha.
This dish was delish! It felt a little plain, but I'm just getting started with aryuvedic foods, so I'm used to adding cheese or some other flavoring. I might have added three pinches of salt. Side note: In the picture the potatoes look browned, like they were sauteed or roasted instead of boiled. I might try baking the potatoes next time, as I think that would add a deeper flavor. I also added lime zest as well as lime juice.
