What is the Ayurvedic Diet

Ayurvedic eating habits have been practiced since ancient times. The Ayurvedic diet focuses on improving your overall health and balancing energy in your body. Ayurvedic nutrition offers customized recommendations for every individual based on their body type. This diet not only improves health but also the brain’s functioning.

Ayurveda, or traditional medicine, is a science. According to this science, the universe is composed of five elements: Vayu(air), Jala(water), Akash(space), Teja[fire], and Prithvi[earth]. The five elements are divided into three types of energy that circulate in the human system. Every dosha has a specific function in the body. The pitta dosha, for example, is thought to regulate hunger, thirst, and body temperature. Vata dosha controls electrolyte balance, movement, and joint function.
