The Ayurvedic Diet

The world is looking up to India because of the huge revolution in medical science that Ayurveda has brought in. The knowledge of the saints and rishi moonies is now being exploited for the benefit of mankind. But can Ayurveda help you with those tight jeans? Can it help you to gain a healthy lifestyle?...more

    Hi Swati, Ayurveda also says that a person should fill, 50% of his stomach with solid food, 25% with liquid n 25% should left free for air circulation, so that he will have good digestion.

    @ Swati....
    Ayurveda is like an ocean ,if you will tell your area of interest ,we will probably help in extracting the drop from it.

    I have found that Triphala supports the Ayurvedic lifestyle, and think it is great way to cleanse the colon. I love the product by ElanVeda, it works so gently and overnight. I know the traditional way is to take a teaspoon full with warm water, but oh, so bitter! This product if vegan and in capsules so I like the overnight solution.

    Je me permets d'apporter une parenthèse à la liste d'aliments à consommer et à éviter par le dosha dominance Vata énumérée par Sujeetha G. Je remarque que Sujeetha G. a fait une recherche exhaustive. Bravo !
    Avoine jusqu'à tendreté pour la préparation du gruau, du son NON NON NON pour Vata quelque soit le grain ;
    Pain uniquement au levain et grillé, levure NON NON NON pour Vata quelle que soit la forme ;
    Grains aucun mélange ;
    Viande rouge à éviter durant la saison Vata (automne-hiver) ;
    Lapin : la pratique Ayurvédique ne consomme pas de chair sauvage. En fait par respect pour la Vie, la pratique Ayurvédique ne consomme pas de tubercule non plus. Cependant ceci reste à notre discrétion ;
    Noix préalablement trempée et consommer toutes les noix en dehors de la saison Vata - les noix augmente le mucus Vata ;
    Huile de coco en dehors de la saison Vata ;
    Huile d'olive (non cuite) ;
    Ghee excellent pour la cuisson - je fais moi même le mien ;
    Miel pas dans un liquide chaud ;
    Miel pas avec du ghee - à moins que la quantité soit 50/50 ;
    Famille du chou (chou-fleur, choux de Bruxelles, etc.) NON NON NON pour Vata quelle que soit la saison ;
    Salades NON NON NON pour Vata et avec modération en dehors de la saison Vata ;
    Pomme de terre douce (ou patate douce) uniquement et cuite (une petite emphase) Tous les légumes doivent être cuits jusqu'à tendreté pour faciliter la digestion de Vata. En fait Vata ne peut rien manger de cru spécifiquement durant sa saison ;
    Pas de petits pois pour Vata ;
    Fruits recommandés à consommer en dehors des repas tel que décrit par Sujeetha G et à température de la pièce : banane mûres, banane plantain jaune très cuite, oranges, pamplemousse, citron, raisin doux.

    Vous assurer qu'aucun aliment ne vous donne des ballonnements. Personnellement, je ne consomme plus le mélange des 6 churnas qui me donnait des ballonnements et gas atroces. Il est bon aussi que Julie se documente et fasse ses expériences car les réactions varient d'une personne à l'autre.
