The high convenience factor of protein shakes allows you to nearly skip the eating process altogether. Along the way, you can even forget your body's intimate connection with food - the cravings you were meant to feel and enjoy. Food is supposed to be one of life's most pleasurable experiences. Participating in this pleasure on a daily basis is a grounding reminder that we exist also for the body, not only for the gratification of the mind.

Foods from real life invoke and awaken the parts of your brain that are millions of years old, and designed to help you make healthy choices. Highly processed foods don't ignite the same wonderful desire and God given food cravings the same way as natural foods. Since highly processed foods like protein shakes enable those who consume them to disconnect themselves from nature, Ayurveda is naturally suspicious that long term nutritional deficiencies will be the inevitable result.

The nutritional value of a food drops precipitously after processing. For this reason, processed foods also lack the vitality of living foods. Thicker protein shakes may be harder to digest. If you find that protein shakes give you gas & bloating, try thinning out the shake with more liquid.

ADDRESS ISSUES IN STAGE OF DISEASE 0

PROTEIN SHAKES 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.
