Ayurveda gives us the opportunity through its varied cuisine, to keep body and soul in balance. No calories are counted. With the help of a seasonal, fresh, diverse cuisine tailored to the individual's needs the body and mind are strengthened. Rather than an ascetic diet, Ayurvedic kitchen offers joy, diversity, health and happiness. Spices, colours of foods and flavours are skilfully matched.

 

Man is his primary and ones needs can be changed according to season or day constitution.

The question is always, what nutrients can you absorb from food? It can vary depending on the state of mind, stress factors or activities.

In fact, it is quite easy to check how much energy the food provides us with:observe if you feel strong and elated after the intake of food or just heavy and feeble. A salad may contain many vitamins, but if your metabolism is not in best shape the body cannot absorb them. However, from a boiled vegetable your body may be able to absorb more vitamins.

 

First, we find out which Ayurvedic body type you belong to, as this will clearly define what strengths and weaknesses your body has.

The constitution is determined by the individual distribution of  the five elements: space, wind, fire, water and earth. The respective food should then strengthen the elements which are little and weaken those who are ruling.
