Ayurvedic Diet & Nutrition

Food occupies a central place in Ayurveda. Rather than viewing nutrition only in terms of individual nutrients, Ayurveda considers the qualities of food, the strength of digestion, the season, preparation methods, meal timing and the needs of the individual.

This means that there is no single “Ayurvedic diet” that is suitable for everyone. Foods that suit one person may not suit another, and the same person may benefit from eating differently at different times of year.

Food as part of everyday Ayurveda

Ayurveda traditionally regards food as one of the most important influences on daily balance. Meals are not considered simply as sources of calories, protein, fat and carbohydrate, but also according to qualities such as warming or cooling, light or heavy, dry or oily.

The aim is not to classify every food as good or bad. Instead, Ayurveda asks whether a particular food is appropriate for the individual, their digestion and their present circumstances.
