THE AYURVEDIC DIET
 Ayurveda is a system of medicine that utilizes various
therapies like diet, yoga and herbal preparations to restore
balance within the body.
 According to Ayurveda, our body is governed by three body
humours or doshas, which determine our physiology,
behavior and risk to diseases.
 It mainly emphasizes on an individual diet plan chosen
according to the three primary body types. This relates to
the philosophy that food can be the source of either healing
or illness.
