In Ayurveda Food is taken according to body type, dosha determines which foods you should eat and which foods to avoid to promote inner balance. food in proper quantity and quality provides strength, vigor, vitality, radiance, good skin and nourishes the health of tissues.
How Should Ayurvedic Nutrition Be?
In Ayurveda, the same food shows different actions on a different individual, because food and its unique qualities are determined individually. food is divided into the following categories and classified on the basis of its properties and effect on the body.
Ras (taste),
Virya (active ingredient or potency),
Vipak (post-digestive effect) and
Prabhav (pharmacological effect).
The most important focus in Ayurveda is on foods based on these properties according to the dosage of the 6 taste groups, one of the most important reasons for this is that each taste can have different effects than the taste of the tongue after it is perceived on the tongue, after it falls into the stomach, during the digestion process and after it is metabolized. As each taste has balancing and unbalancing effects according to our body type, the season we are in or the current disease or various symptoms.
