Ayurveda identifies three fundamentals bodily doshas or humors: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Each individual possesses a distinct blend of these doshas, shaping their physical and mental traits. Understanding one's Prakriti helps in selecting appropriate foods that maintain balance and health. An ayurvedic professional helps us to identify the Prakriti of an individual.

Ayurvedic nutrition emphasizes incorporating the six tastes in every meal to ensure balance: Sweet (Madhura) Sour (Amla) Salty (Lavana) Bitter (Tikta) Pungent (Katu) Astringent (Kashaya) Each taste has specific effects on the doshas and helps in maintaining overall health. Our Diet plans also focus on the rasas for proper balance.

Agni refers to the digestive fire, which is crucial for digestion, absorption, and assimilation of nutrients. Maintaining a strong and balanced Agni is essential for health. Eating according to one's digestive capacity and avoiding foods that are difficult to digest are key principles.

Ayurveda advises against consuming incompatible food combinations, which can disrupt digestion and lead to the production of toxins (Ama). Examples include: Milk and fish, Fruits with dairy products, Honey and ghee in equal proportions.

Ayurveda recommends adjusting one’s diet according to the seasons to maintain balance and harmony with the environment. For instance: In winter, eat warm, nourishing, and slightly oily foods to balance Vata. In summer, opt for cooling, hydrating foods to balance Pitta.

Mindful eating involves paying full attention to the eating process, which includes: Eating in a calm and peaceful environment, Chewing food thoroughly, avoiding overeating or undereating, Eating freshly prepared meals.

Ayurveda suggests that meal timing should align with the body's natural rhythms. The largest meal should be consumed at midday when the digestive fire is strongest, and lighter meals in the morning and evening.
