A big part of the Ayurvedic diet is learning how to properly prepare and cook your meals.
This act should be performed with awareness and it is important to cook and prepare the food you are going to eat with the mindset of being healthy.
Preparing your meals without really being conscious doesn’t allow you to fully be present and appreciate the process using the right methods as outlined in the Ayurvedic diet.

Ayurvedic Diet
Well it’s been a while since I have posted an article here on Planet Well. With so many things to do in such little time, I have been figuring some things out as I prioritize may passions and what is important to me, my family, others (which include you) and the planet.
It has been a great summer and I discovered that if there is one thing I need to share with all of you, it is… “True Wellness” which in my experience is the science of Ayurveda. Over the last few months I have been continuing my studies in yoga philosophy, vedantic philosphy (the study of the vedas), and ayurveda ( A complete holistic wellness system)
Ayurveda, which has been my main focus over the last few months is the science of longevity – an ancient healing practice and system that’s over 5000 years old and stems back to ancient India. It could be compared to Traditional Chinese Medicine because it is in fact a complete medical system which prescribes certain herbs, exercises and diets for each unique individual. However, I feel it is much more valuable and complete.
Ayurveda incorporates many different principles, remedies and healing techniques that I could write hundreds of pages about, but I won’t because I will be writing more about it on this blog. In fact, I will be changing my focus of this blog to one primarily based on ayurveda wellness including the ayurvedic diet and ayurvedic recipes for healthier living.
There will be many topics that explain how and why to incorporate the ayurvedic diet into your life.
You may be asking why such a drastic change from sustainability to ayurvedic living. Well, it’s not much of a change because sustainability and the wellness of the planet is all part of Ayurveda. By adopting ayurveda into you life, you enhance your health and wellness which enhances the health and wellness of the planet.
Ayurveda is truly a gift from God and an extraordinary science or system that gives you vigor, vitality, strength and healing energy. It promotes harmony and balance both internally and externally. I will be explaining and teaching you more soon… Continue reading
