CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEW
This rich, creamy breakfast treat is called shudji haalwa throughout India. Kids fight over it while adults pretend not to. This decadent recipe is somewhere between a dessert and a proper meal - everyone needs to let loose once in a while! If you have a Saturday morning pancake tradition, try serving Sweet Cream of Wheat with Spices one chilly winter weekend. Just sit back as the smiles and applause roll in. Sweet Breakfast TreatThe heaviness of wheat, oil, and sugar make this dessert pacifying for Vata and Pitta, but aggravating for Kapha. Cinnamon, cardamom, and nutmeg do add their medicinal qualities to this dish, but the truth is, despite their best efforts, Sweet Cream of Wheat is heavy, sweet and decadent to the max. For once, the spices are more for flavor than medicinal value!

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.

The 6 Tastes

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.

LEARN MORE ABOUT SWEET | DOSHAS![Dosha Help]()
The Three Doshas / Body Types
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. They are easily stimulated, hyperactive, underweight and dry.
Metabolic individuals tend to burn or use energy. They tend to be rosy-cheeked, easily irritated, focused, driven, and easily inflamed.
Anabolic individuals tend to store energy as body mass. If they store too much energy, they could gain weight easily and have congestion. Anabolic people tend to be stable and grounded.

Isn't cream and eggs a bad combination?
- Bruno Ferreira , 10-06-20 ( Reply) Yes, Ayurveda doesn't recommend we mix milk and eggs. The cinnamon and cardamom will aid digestion but we could think of those additions as a once-in-a-while treat or for times we have strong agni.
