Nutrition and Diet

Ayurveda have recognised that poor digestion is the main factor of poor health. A healthy digestion should be steady, strong fire to transform the food we eat into easily-absorbed nutrients and easily-eliminated waste. The term used for digestive fire is ‘agni’. When we consume too much or too little food, incorrect or the wrong combinations of foods, we diminish our agni. Poor digestive fire can lead to poor digestion. Undigested food creates toxins (ama)that travel through the bodily channels, and create illness and diseases of an Ayurvedic Nutrition and Diet.
