Ayurvedic nutrition, tips to balance your bio-energy

Deriving from the ancient wisdom of India, Ayurveda is a natural system of holistic health (Greek: holos, all) based on the interaction of humans and the universe.

The 5 elements that create the universal reality (air, space, fire, earth, water) are found within 3 Dosha, bio-energies Vata, Kapha and Pittta, which determine the physical appearance and body functions of the body such as breathing, digestion, escretion, the formation and growth of bones, intellectual and emotional capacities.

Each person has the energy in different proportions. Ayurveda teaches more about themselves by identifying their strengths and weaknesses to adopt healthy habits in the natural rhythms according to each establishment. In effect only when the body, mind and soul are in harmony that perfect health is possible. The diet plays key role in Ayurveda. Foods contain the same 5 elements that make up living organisms and can affect the 3 doshas, paying attention to what you eat.
