Eating for Balance
While we often learn about food from external sources, Ayurveda teaches us to trust the inner wisdom of our bodies, which insightfully guides us to make the correct food choices. Eating an array of colorful foods, rich in nutrients, that also provides the six tastes – sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent, and astringent – helps us align our doshas and keeps us balanced.
Just as conscious breathing invites greater prana, or energy, into our lives, so do nutritious foods and fresh, clean water. It’s important to make choices that are in tune with our bodies and eat with awareness in order to stay healthy and thrive.
