TEMPERING PROTEIN SHAKES (from Ayurveda & Greek Medicine)

Enroll Now
Master Personalized Wellness with these Diet, Lifestyle & Herbs Certification Courses
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.

Balance Your Body with Diet, Herbs, & Lifestyles Having These Virtues (Biocharacteristics)

Everything you eat has an effect on your body, which Personalized Medicine Systems (Ayurveda & Greek Medicine) categorize in a simple and easy way, using biocharacteristics. Biocharacteristics are vital qualities (like cold and hot) that describe the metabolic 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 'Protein Shakes', consider 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

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. (See all disease stages on JB)

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.

“I am a Pitta-Vata vegan and thought I would like to add a tablespoon or two of a protein powder to a fruit smoothie for breakfast to up my protein intake (my last blood test showed I am low in protein). There are so many kinds to choose from. Could you possibly recommend the best protein powders for the three doshas, unless that is contrary to Ayurvedic philosophy. Thank you."

“We don't generally recommend protein shakes for any dosha."
