How Does This Ayurvedic Recipe Improve Wellness?
CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEW
The crisp crunch of 'Seaweed and Baby Kale Tabouli' will refresh and revitalize the body on a warm afternoon. Prepare for lunch and enjoy outside under an early summer blue sky, or bring to work and brighten up a long day. You'll feel light and energetic for the rest of the afternoon. Consider bringing this dish to your next dinner party and see how guests decipher the rich variety of tastes and textures.
Balance Digestion
Overconsumption of a particular taste can lead to a range of imbalances. This is something you have probably experienced first hand as your body reacts to certain flavors. If you have a meal that is excessively pungent, for example, you will feel overheated. Too much astringency in your diet and you'll feel dry and perhaps experience constipation. Ayurveda promotes the inclusion of a variety of tastes, just like this recipe, to balance digestion and reduce excessive cravings for a particular flavor. Feel how your taste buds are satisfied and cleansed after this meal - so satisfied that you don't feel the need to overeat.
Lighter & Brighter
'Seaweed and Baby Kale Tabouli' works to unblock stagnation, lighten your mood and balance the emotions. Carminative herbs like parsley and mint simulate digestion reducing any post meal sluggishness and add an aromatic freshness, calming the mind. The bitter taste of kale is anti-inflammatory and cleansing to the liver and blood by stimulating the release of bile, clearing excess heat and reducing toxicity. It also encourages a regular bowel movement so you feel light and cleansed.
Build Strength
Quinoa and hemp seeds are sweet, heavy and anabolic in nature, supporting the growth and development of tissues. They are both protein packed options to include in a vegetarian diet. Quinoa is also a rich source of iron, restoring strength in the blood. After a period of poor nutrition or weight loss, this meal will help you regain strength.
Thyroid Afterthought
Kelp is a rich source of iodine, one of the most important nutrients to keep the thyroid functioning at optimal levels. Kale, on the other hand, is known to slow down thyroid function in some cases. If you have a thyroid disorder, gently wilting or steaming the kale will reduce the goitrogenic compounds that can inhibit the absorption of iodine.

INCREASES
Increases These Biocharacteristics (Gunas)
Functional Ayurveda helps you assess imbalances through 20 main biocharacteristics
(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.
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?
According to the biocharacteristic theory of medicine,
people tend to get sick, over and over again, due to habitual causes and imbalances that are unique to the person.
Your body type summarizes this tendency, showing you the 'type' of conditions and imbalances that frequently challenge your health & wellness.
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.
Experiences vary according to the person and constitution. Individual results may vary.
