would you say Ayurveda is based on common sense or is there a methodology in following it?
A bit of both really. Ayurveda is based on common sense but you need to look at the body in a slightly different way to understand it. Once you have done so, it all makes complete sense and actually explains a lot of things that are often left unsaid in the modern world. How we should eat, how much, why and when. Why is it you best friend is skinny while she eats twice as much as you. Why do you stress, sweat or sleep more than your sister? Ayurveda can help explain all the differences between us. Next year is said to be all about food for mood, and Ayurveda fits this trend of benefiting the mind as well as the body: do you feel that a holistic diet is imperative to good health? I think looking at our life in a holistic way is key to good health. Once you understand that our body, mind and soul are connected, you look for the source of the problem before you mask it with medicines. Stress is one of the biggest culprits in many illnesses so learning to remain calm and keep the mind heal
