PREOCCUPIED WITH FOOD

AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON PREOCCUPIED WITH FOOD

If you find yourself thinking, obsessing, or dreaming about food, it is important to first consider whether you are receiving adequate food and a well-balanced diet, well-distributed throughout the day. Do you purposefully skip meals or suppress your hunger? Are you overly restrictive with your foods, eating only small portions and avoiding rich, sweet, or nourishing foods out of fear? Often times, a crash diet mentality and experimentation with multiple diet and weight loss programs can make your body feel uncertain about whether it will receive nourishment or not. The food insecurity that results can have powerful psychological effects that lead you to become obsessed with food.

Establishing a healthy eating routine with adequate nourishment can help curb preoccupations about food. Improving your body image can also help improve your relationship with food and free up mental energy to enjoy yourself and your life more fully.

AVOID ACCUMULATION IN STAGE OF DISEASE 0

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. (See all disease stages on JB)
