Planting the Seeds of Good Health through Ayurvedic Wisdom: Ayurveda is an ancient science of self-healing, a holistic science that teaches how to stay healthy and how to live one’s daily life in harmony with nature. Each person represents a specific combination of the five elements: ether or space, air, fire, water and earth. Each one is part of a much bigger picture. With a basic foundation in Ayurvedic principles one can learn how to keep oneself in balance, for overall well-being and happiness.
Class 2: Food Basics - What You Eat Affects Your Body and Mind
Ayurveda places a great deal of emphasis on diet and lifestyle. Our bodies and minds reflect what we eat, drink and digest. The quality of the food, the quantity, the taste and even the power of digestion are influenced by what one consumes.
You will learn how to stay in sync with yourself and with nature through the foods you eat. What you see, hear, taste, touch and smell can now be balanced with a new-found awareness.
