- "I have one question. I know Vatas are supposed to avoid leftovers and eat freshly cooked warm foods esp. in winter which is what we are coming into down here in Melbourne, Victoria. How can I do this at work without taking in my whole kitchen? Any tips?"
- Ayurveda says that each meal be prepared fresh…and Ayurveda is also 5,000 years old. They didn’t have the jobs and lifestyles like we do now. So here’s what I say: Having leftovers from your home-cooked meals is WAY better than not bringing a lunch, having to search for lunch, spending too much money on going out for lunch, and who-knows-what is in that take-out lunch. I actually advise my clients to cook a dinner larger than normal and take the rest for lunch the next day. Easy! :) That way your leftovers aren’t too old, you’ll get the food you need, and you will have peace of mind because you know you don’t have to go searching for lunch. Hooray! (~heymonicab.com)
#8: In Ayurveda a healthy diet is the main resource for good health
As mentioned before, Ayurveda is about illness prevention and its most important means is a healthy diet. This is not a strict dietary regime but rather about principles for balanced and individually beneficial foods - what is perfectly good for one person might be less healthy for the next and so it’s important to know your personal constitution and Doshas. According to Ayurveda almost all ailments can be traced back to a subpar diet which in the long run weakens the body’s resistance and manifests in the one or other symptom. Only if dietary adjustments fail to improve a condition comes the supportive system of herbs, treatments and medicine (see paragraph below for definition of “medicine”).
