Ayurveda is a traditional approach of medicine that originated in the ancient Vedic times of India. It is a comprehensive approach to health and homeostasis that focuses on body, mind, emotions, spirit, and environment. 

Ayurveda is the "Science of Life;" Ayus = Life and Veda = knowledge/science. 

The Doshas are psychophysiological principles that direct many aspects of the human body and correlate with the individual's phenotype. Each individual has different ratios of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. 

Our mind has a close relationship with our digestion. It is crucial to take into consideration that the state of mind at the time of eating can cause a positive or a negative effect on our metabolism.  

Listen to your body and eat following the recommendations for your body type but also according to the seasons.
