AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON FATTY FRIED FOOD

If you ever asked why fried food is bad for you, you're not alone.

We understand your concern.

After all, the sizzle of french fries in a deep fryer or the sight of a funnel cake at your local fair can be hard to resist. These foods are fun ways to enjoy life.

But how do you feel after eating fried food at your favorite restaurant or on a hot summer day at the fair?

A little queasy, perhaps? Queasiness is a sign you've hit your upper limit on fried foods. Uggh! The hot sun continues to beat down on you as the food churns in your stomach.

So how much fried food can you digest? And how much is too much?

Your liver and your bile have answers for you.

Let's take a look.

The Hidden Reality of Fatty Fried Food

Turns out tatty fried foods take a toll on your body.

They may taste great, but aren't so great for you.

Packed with difficult-to-digest fats, they are especially stressful for your liver, your body's chemical processing plant.

And doctors who specialize in liver disease will tell you, the link is clear and alarming.

A consistent diet of fatty, fried foods can accelerate conditions like non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

So, the next time you're eyeing that extra serving of fries, remember: your liver's on the line!

Bile: Your Body's Fat Digestion Superpower

Bile is what kick starts your digestion of fat.

Made in the liver, bile is collected, concentrated and stored in the gallbladder.

When you understand how bile works in the body you can assess how much you're producing. And that helps you make informed decisions about how many funnel cakes and fries to eat.

Stored bile is released and mixed with your fries when they reach your small intestines. The bile helps break up the large fat globs into small droplets for easy digestion (a process called emulsification).

Fatty, fried food demands a lot of bile and puts the liver under pressure to make more and more of it. And it can't always keep up.

If you overdo your fry intake, there might not be enough bile to break up the fat.

Then you start experiencing nausea or diarrhea, symptoms that don't exactly scream "Pass the ketchup."

Bile also plays a big role in cholesterol metabolism. Fried foods like deep-fried meats, cheese sticks, or fish and chips can increase cholesterol levels.

You can lower cholesterol levels by stimulating bile flow, which is how herbal formulas like Bitter Ghee work to help those with cholesterol problems.

Stimulating bile flow also flushes your gallbladder, preventing it from getting clogged with stones.

In a country, like the US, where half a million people lose their gallbladders annually and a third of the population has high cholesterol, those stats make bile a hot topic.

The Dosha Connection

Ever wonder why some people can wolf down fried food without any problem while others can't stomach more than a few bites?

The answer might lie in Ayurveda's concept of doshas or body types, Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.

Kapha people tend to have thick bile, which gets congested in the gallbladder causing gallstones.

And eating too many fried, fatty foods increases the likelihood of stone formation.

Congested bile causes a deficiency of bile for digestion. It is also associated with poor fat digestion and metabolism.

Bile congestion and stagnation can cause side effects like headaches, nausea, indigestion or constipation after you eat a high fat meal.

Vata bile is thin and tends to be deficient due to dryness, which also causes constipation.

In both cases, you know you have a deficiency of bile when stools are lighter colored or you have trouble digesting fats.

Excess bile production can also cause problems. The dosha most closely associated with its increased output is Pitta, making these folks prone to bile excess.

Too much bile can irritate your intestines, give you diarrhea, and overstimulate your mind causing you to be irritable and angry.

However, we all tend to produce more bile in hot summer months, the Pitta time of year.

Reducing bile production is key to less irritability during hot weather.

Whether it is congested, excessive, or not enough, the right amount of bile production is essential to effective digestion of fried foods, and your health in general.

Ayurveda's Answer to Healthy Food Choices

If your current diet includes too much fatty fried food, a change in dietary habits is called for.

While this might sound daunting, it doesn't have to be.

With Ayurveda, you don't have to give up on taste for good health.

Following an Ayurvedic diet is easier than you think. And you don't have to memorize a list of foods.

Instead, Ayurveda teaches you to classify foods according to some well established and basic principles.

As each dosha benefits from emphasizing foods with specific qualities, you must first discover your body type.

If you don't know what it is, take our free dosha quiz to find out. Then, choose one of the buttons below to discover the best diet for your dosha.

Everything you eat has an effect on your body, which Ayurveda categorizes in a simple and easy way, using biocharacteristics (gunas). Biocharacteristics are qualities (like cold and hot) that describe the effect a food or herb has on your body. Cooling foods like cucumber, decrease metabolism. Heating foods like chili pepper, stimulate your body and increase metabolism. For 'Fatty fried food', you should select foods with the following biocharacteristics. Individual results will vary, based on your body type and the root cause of your imbalance.

AVOID ACCUMULATION IN STAGE OF DISEASE 0

FATTY FRIED FOOD IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE 0 - POTENTIAL CAUSE

Potential causes increase and disturb your imbalanced doshas and biocharacteristics, causing them to accumulate and spiral out of control. For example, if you're overheated and eat a chili pepper, heat may become excessive and cause disease. As a dosha or biocharacteristic accumulates in your body according to your dietary and lifestyle habits, it is more and more likely to cause disease. You can reduce an imbalanced dosha or biocharacteristic in two ways, by removing, or lessening the frequency of aggravating causes from your diet and lifestyle, as well as by favoring balancing diet and lifestyle practices. For example, try eating something as cool as a cucumber when you're overheated, instead of a chili pepper.

'Fatty fried food' is likely to aggravate the following doshas and biocharacteristics. If you have a systemic imbalance of one of these doshas or biocharacteristics, Ayurveda would generally recommend removing, substitute or lessen the frequency of 'Fatty fried food'.

Imbalance Accumulates

Improper food and lifestyle causes balances to accumulate. Ayurveda shows you exactly which doshas and biocharacteristics are likely to accumulate in your body. Once these doshas and biocharacteristics accumulate too much, they will begin to cause imbalance. You can reduce an imbalanced dosha or biocharacteristic by removing things that aggravate it from your diet and lifestyle.

HOW AYURVEDA WORKS

ARE YOU WONDERING HOW AYURVEDA CAN HELP YOU?

WHY IS AYURVEDA THE RIGHT SOLUTION?

Ayurveda strengthens the body while opposing disorders. It takes a holistic, systemic approach that looks at the whole body. Ayurveda shows how to interpret signs and symptoms of imbalance, and how to address them using diet, lifestyle adjustments, and herbs. It shows a person how to optimize their health on a continual basis. You can't take the doctor home with you, but you can take Ayurveda home with you. Ayurveda is the most advanced and easy to use home system for self healing.

HOW DOES AYURVEDA WORK?

Ayurveda starts by identifying your body type, which identifies certain tendencies in your body to get sick (as well as identifying your strengths). It uses body type to determine the likely root causes of your disorders. Next, Ayurveda analyzes the nature of your disorder. It fits all your signs and symptoms into a pattern, expressed as a combination of biocharaceristics (gunas). For example, you may have a heat disorder, a cold disorder, or an oily disorder, etc. This simple categorical approach shows you how to correct systemic imbalances and strengthen your body as a whole.

On Joyful Belly, we've created an extensive categorization of food so you can easily match food to your imbalanced biocharacteristics. By eating an optimal diet that balances your biocharacteristics, your whole body is strengthened and the conditions that created the disorder are removed. Once the root causes of the disease are removed, the disease lessens in strength or disappears altogether. Additional remedies - such as herbs and lifestyle practices - focused on the specific disorder, can greatly enhance your healing.

His hope and belief in the capacity of each & every client to improve their quality of life is nothing short of a personal passion.
