The Ayurvedic diet comes from Ayurveda, a traditional form of holistic medicine from India that focuses on keeping your body and mind in balance.
According to Ayurveda, the universe is made up of five elements: air, water, space, fire, and earth. These elements combine to create three types of energy, called doshas, that flow through your body. Each dosha has specific roles:
Pitta: Manages hunger, thirst, and body temperature.
Vata: Controls movement and electrolyte balance.
Kapha: Supports joint health and stability.
The Ayurvedic diet helps you figure out your dominant dosha and eat foods that bring all three doshas into harmony, promoting overall health and well-being. This approach has been practiced for thousands of years to support a balanced and healthy lifestyle
