Healthy Food, Happy Mind

Ayurveda, our ancient system of medicine, is a science for life.

It provides us with life tools to stay healthy, vibrant and realise our full human potential. But in Ayurveda, "you are what you eat" means something far more subtle and powerful. Food is known to directly influence your consciousness and feelings. It can create bliss or anger, contentment or restlessness, thoughts of the sacred or the profane. The quality of the food you eat literally creates your state of mind, emotions and consciousness.

Poor nutrition can lead to physical health problems such as obesity, though there are a number of demographic variables that could affect the direction and/or strength of the association with mental health including severity of obesity, socioeconomic status and level of education, gender, age and ethnicity

The first words that come to mind when one thinks of Indian food are: Hot, spicy, oily, rich, fatty and creamy. Indian food, though hugely popular, is highly misunderstood. In fact, Indian food includes an array of healthy spices, due to which the dishes are cooked in a multitude of ways that help retain their nutrients. Indian food includes carbohydrates, proteins, fats, all the elements to make a balanced diet.
