3. Cook gently for 5 minutes and set aside.
4. Prepare artichoke by cutting about 1/2 inch from the head, and peeling the stem.
5. Tear away the tough outer leaves until you get to the softer inner green leaves.
6. Cut the artichoke in half lengthways, and scrape out the inner "fuzzy" chokes with a spoon.
7. Take each artichoke half and place on an individual square sheet of aluminum foil.
8. Immediately pour the olive oil, garlic, and fenugreek over each artichoke half, and fold the aluminium foil over to create a pouch with the artichoke inside.
9. Roast for in oven dish lined with parchment paper for 40 minutes.
10. Remove each artichoke from their foil pouch, squeeze fresh lemon juice on top and add a pinch of black pepper before serving.
Preparation notes:
Artichokes discolor quickly, so are best prepared immediately before cooking. If preparing in advance, place them in a bowl of water with lemon juice to prevent discoloration.
These roasted artichokes are a great spring cleanse side dish.

Increases These Qualities (Gunas)
Functional Ayurveda helps you assess imbalances through 20 main characteristics
( gunas).
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.

Sweet taste causes physical satisfaction and attraction whereas bitter taste causes discomfort and aversion.

The Three Doshas / Body Types
People tend to get sick, over and over again, due to similar causes and habitual imbalances that are unique to the person.

Using body type, you can also identify remedies likely to improve your strength and resiliency.
Your body type identifies physical and mental characteristics as well as your personal strengths and weaknesses.
The calculation of your body type is based on your medical history.
The 3 functional body types
(doshas),
are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha).
Catabolic individuals tend to break down body mass into energy.
Metabolic individuals tend to burn or use energy.
Anabolic individuals tend to store energy as body mass.
Catabolic people tend to be easily stimulated, hyperactive, underweight and dry.
Metabolic people tend to be rosy-cheeked, easily irritated, focused, driven, and easily inflamed.
Anabolic people are heavy, stable and grounded, but if they store too much energy, they could gain weight easily and have congestion.
