SYMPTOMS & AYURVEDIC REMEDIES
LOSE WEIGHT EASILYWHAT DOES IT MEAN? WHAT'S CAUSING IT? WHAT CAN YOU DO?
Are you prone to a problem with 'Lose weight easily'?
Many people unconsciously lose weight because they follow advertising that promotes a certain type of food deemed healthy and good for us. Yet the target market for these ads are people who are overweight so it is important to listen to your body and watch your response whenever introducing new foods. Switching to a vegetarian diet can cause a dramatic loss of weight, often long after you've stopped eating meat, when essential vitamins and minerals are depleted. If you tend to lose weight easily, it is essential to learn your body's needs and eat nourishing, heavier foods when you start feeling excessive lightness or weakness in your body. Your clothes are often a good gauge whether your weight may be slipping. Mineral salt can help the body retain water, which is often the first step in gaining weight. Indulging in rich, heavy foods like nuts, white potatoes, meat, wheat bread, and dairy can also prove beneficial to weight retention. If you still find yourself struggling to retain weight, you might want to consider other possible causes of weight loss. Disclaimer: Conditions such as 'Lose weight easily' that cause tissue changes could be serious and should be checked by a medical doctor.

HOW AYURVEDA WORKS
ARE YOU WONDERING HOW AYURVEDA CAN HELP YOU?
WHY IS AYURVEDA THE RIGHT SOLUTION?Ayurveda strengthens the body, in addition to addressing the disorder. It take a holistic, systemic approach, instead of myopically focusing on the disorder in question. Ayurveda shows a person how to interpret signs and symptoms of imbalance, and how to address them using materials from home, so they can 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 with an exceptional focus on digestion.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.
