Does Ayurveda say anything about diet?
The diet that contains balanced food are vegetables, fruits, wheat, rice, etc. The best time of having food is when hunger is generated in the navel region. Normally one should have 2 to 3 meals a day, light breakfast, good lunch and a light dinner. Of the full capacity of one’s stomach, 1/2 should be filled with solid food, 1/4 with liquid food and the remaining 1/4 should be left empty. Water should be taken as and when one feels thirsty. It is not good to drink water before or after meals only. It should be properly interspaced with food during the meals.
