How to eat healthy with Ayurveda

“We are what we eat”, is a good old saying and probably the one rule all healthy people on earth are swearing by. But how about common people who love to eat French fries and burgers every other day, how they know, how to eat good. Ayurveda is a holistic approach towards well being with great emphasize on clean eating.

How Ayurveda is different?

Ayurveda is quite different from other lifestyle approaches as it declares every individual is different and their dietary needs are also very different. The importance is given to diet and nutrition is exceptional in Ayurveda and often, it is used to cure all kinds of diseases. In Ayurveda, conversion of food into nutrition is called Agni or fire in Ayurveda. However, in Ayurveda a vegetarian diet is preferred and eating freshly cooked meal is advising all the time. According to experts of Ayurveda Dubai, individual diet should consist of rich amounts of vegetables, whole grains, fruits and herbs and in order to get a healthy body, certain foods are avoided such as white flour, starchy foods and processed or frozen meals.

A good meal as suggested by Ayurveda usually includes adding different colors and all six flavors (savory, sweet, sour, bitter, etc.) in one-day meal. All these flavors, textures, and tastes will soothe all body senses and fill their everyday needs and provide healthy nutrients. Ayurveda discourages the use of meat (any kind) and consumption of alcohol and coffee.

Importance of herbs and spices:

In Ayurveda herbs and spices play a vital part in everyday meal and recipes. According to Ayurveda consumption of different herbs before, during and after the meal can bring healthy effects. Herbs are known to boost the digestive ability of a body. For instance, adding lemon into your diet before eating a meal can boost the appetite. Adding cinnamon to your meal can protect you from getting a heart attack, stroke and aid in digesting the food. Ayurveda suggests that eating spices are better when they are cooked so preferably add them when preparing your meal and enjoy the benefits.

How to eat according to Ayurveda?

Ayurveda emphasizes on eating according to your Dosha and suggests that every Dosha has different needs. Moreover, eating fresh fruits and vegetables or freshly cooked food can help in ditching different ailments. And if you will start living an Ayurvedic life you will enjoy a healthy life after receiving immunity from diseases, better digestion (poor gut can cause plenty of diseases), strength, better sleep and concentration. These are some great rules for healthy living and offered by a century-old lifestyle. How can we forget about the rage Paleo diet brought in western countries, but we cannot forget that Ayurveda is also centuries old practice that satisfies all natural needs of the human body? And also the diet pattern offered by Ayurveda is tastier than Paleo diet, but offer the same benefits. You can get bored with the Paleo diet because it just focuses on what you can eat while Ayurveda sync with your daily routine and help you in not only eating better, but living a healthy lifestyle.
