The Concept of Eating

Ayurveda Tips for Self Care
In Ayurveda, the act of eating food is a serious affair. It is not intended to be a pastime or an unconscious activity, or driven by cravings and whims. Ayurveda is about conscious eating. Being mindful and deliberate about what, when, why and how we eat. Ayurveda is not about counting calories and hard-and-fast rules, but there is a philosophy behind the act of eating.

An Ayurvedic sage has said the following:

Ayurveda endorses a balanced diet that nurtures not only the body, but also the mind, sense, and spirit. Food, after all, is a source of energy and strength. It’s sustenance and radiance. Ayurvedic nutrition is intimately tied to the three doshas (energy systems) and takes into account the unique dietary requirements of every individual. Eating in accordance with your constitutional makeup promotes balance, while eating dosha-aggravating foods creates imbalances. The very concept that “food is medicine” is special to Ayurveda. Food is the primary preventive tool in Ayurveda, as well as the first step in bringing the mind and body back into balance. Although we often say, “You are what you eat,” Ayurveda would modify that to say, “You are what, how, when, and why you eat.” Your well-being results not only from the types of foods you eat, but also from your state of mind, the environment, the time of day, and the season in which you consume them. - Dr. Suhas Kshirsagar, author of The Hot Belly Diet
