WHAT IS WALNUT BUTTER WITH CINNAMON, CLOVES & CORIANDER?Many varieties of nut butters will leave you feeling weighed down and heavy, but walnut butter is gaining popularity for its rich, strong flavor and warming effect. Combined with light and stimulating spices, this version will give you that satisfying feeling without weighing down digestion. Brain FoodWalnuts look like brains for a reason! Their oily nature nourishes and calms the central nervous system, increasing brain function. This same oily goodness can help balance some emotional conditions of the mind including irritability, depression and stress due to the grounding effect the nervous tissue. Walnut's high omega 3 content makes it especially attractive for brain function. Blended is BestWalnuts are easier to digest when blended, particularly for those who struggle to process nuts. Spread some of this creamy, nutty goodness on fresh baked bread for a satisfying snack. If digestion is strong, blend partially to leave some nice crunchy texture variation and a rustic feel. Make sure to bake the walnuts before blending. This will help denaturalise the tannic acids which can irritate a sensitive stomach. Warm UpSpice things up by adding ground cinnamon, cloves and coriander. This combination strengthens digestion and balances the heaviness of the walnuts due to their light, clearing and stimulating nature. These spices will also improve vasodilation and add a diaphoretic element to the recipe, stimulating the flow of blood and improving peripheral circulation. A warming option to thaw out cold hands and feet!

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.

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.
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.
