According to Ayurveda, eating is one of the most vital functions of the body. And to have a healthy body and mind, we should eat nourishing food. But there is so much information out there about nutrition, that it can be a bit overwhelming. To make your life easy here is an easy Ayurveda meal plan you can follow.
As per Ayurveda, The perfect diet is when we eat fresh foods that are appropriately prepared and eaten with awareness.
Ayurveda believes that every human being consists of the five elements of nature: Ether, Air, Fire, Water, and Earth. We are all born with a different combination and certain degree of these elements.
The three combinations of the elements, aka doshas, are:
- Vata,which consists of ether and air
- Pitta,which consists of fire and water
- Kapha,which consists of water and earth
When you know your leading dosha, you can create a balanced lifestyle according to your dosha. This means you become more aware of the food you eat, the time you rest, what exercise you do, etc.
A simple way to know you are getting a balanced diet is to include all the six Ayurvedic tastes in every meal. In doing so, you will ensure that all major food groups and nutrients are present. This simple Ayurveda meal plan will make it easy for you.
The six Ayurvedic tastes are sweet, salty, sour, spicy, bitter, and astringent. When we include all six tastes, we feel more satisfied, and the urge to snack or overeat diminishes.Here is my simple Ayurveda meal plan and what I eat in a day.
