AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON PREOCCUPIED WITH HEALTHY EATING
An orthorexic lives in the future instead of the now, so has trouble participating in life without thought of future consequences. On a spiritual level, the inability to indulge is a disorder of excess chastity. The essence of chastity is an unwillingness to give oneself completely to something imperfect. Often, such a person shows intolerance to experiencing shame. Chastidy is naturally strongest in young women after onset of puberty.
There is a dynamic tension between one's ability to love what is imperfect (this type of loves is expressed by the soul), and to reach for divine star of perfection (this type of love is expressed by the spirit). The soul, located near the heart, finds satisfaction in connection to people, places, and things. The soul is willing to overlook corruption & imperfection in order to preserve connection, intimacy, and love. This kind of love may be found in a mother's mercy toward a child in jail, etc. The soul embraces mother nature, the symbol of the divine feminine, and thus participates in earthly fertility and abundance.
The spirit, located in the crown, is the home of the divine masculine. It loves the glory of heavenly perfection, and rejects earthly impurity. The spirit loves beauty & refinement, and is symbolized by a gem. When a person over invests in spiritual purity, they may unwittingly repress the soul. To such a spiritual being, enjoying the fruits of Eden feels like an indulgence. The rejected fruit can be food, sensuality of a sexual nature, emotional intimacy, etc.
The seeming perfection of the spirit is a seductive attraction to an orthorexic, who does not recognize that heavenly perfection is etheric only, and lacking in earthiness. A person stuck in the heavenly realms mistakes contact with heavenly perfection and beauty as contact with God. Heavenly beauty is incomplete because it cannot understand God's love for humanity, or the nature of His mercy. True perfection includes a persons ability to love unconditionally, which paradoxically means loving earthly imperfection.
A person who remains overly chaste cannot experience unconditional love, and in the attempt to crush desire and indulgence loses empathy, understanding and human connection. The seed of an orthorexic's spiritual crisis is a loss of faith and hope in earthly desires. They do not trust the life-giving intelligence of the body and its ability to lead them to the happiness and satisfaction they are seeking. The sense organs of the nose and tongue are repressed, as well as the reproductive organs and the gut.
Life lived in rejection of the senses soon becomes dry, barren, and isolated. Reconnecting with earthly abundance requires inclusion of these organs, and re-establishing a belief that these organs are necessary for the success of the individual. The person must face the state of panic that arises around desire and the obstacle it presents. To restore abundance, a person must expose the limitations of the superego and recognize that desire is part of God's perfect plan for us.

Balance Your Body with Diet, Herbs, & Lifestyles Having These Biocharacteristics
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 'Preoccupied with healthy eating', 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
PREOCCUPIED WITH HEALTHY EATING IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE 0 -
POTENTIAL CAUSEPotential 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.

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
biocharacteristics (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.
