- Ayurveda 101 - Review

Ayurveda is an ancient philosophy of eating wisely that originated in India over 5,000 years ago. The definition of Ayurveda can be lengthy, and its theories regarding maintaining a balance between fitness and nutrition are unique and can seem complex. However, my interpretation of Ayurveda is simply this: If you are willing to change your lifestyle by eating wisely and doing a from of exercise on a regular basis, then you will naturally maintain a normal weight.
There is never a need to “diet” or to become consumed with counting calories or carbohydrates. How does one change their lifestyle? Along with regular exercise (I think walking is an excellent choice!) simply start consuming more unprocessed foods along with natural herbs, spices, teas and roots. Eventually you'll be rid of cravings for coffee, salt, sugar and many processed, fat based foods. Next, the cravings will ease and you'll naturally start selecting foods that are wholesome and beneficial. This is how you work towards a lifestyle change, and a lifestyle change means never having to diet again!
