| 9 a.m to 1 p.m: Ayurveda Aahar The Scientific Diet |
| Nutritional recommendations in Ayurveda are based on a thorough understanding of Prakriti (singularity), time, place, and circumstance. They are based on observation and experience, and their suitability can and must be verified in real time. |
| While the primary consideration in selecting appropriate foodstuffs must be the diathetic tendency (vata, pitta, kapha preponderance), one must also evaluate the effects offoodstuffs on the mind (sattva, rajas, tamas), physiology (prana, agni, ojas), andpredominance of elemental states of matter[field (space), volatile (air), radiant (fire),liquid (water), and solid (earth)], as well as suitability according to the developmental (lifestage) and occupational characteristics of the individual. |
| If one understands the principles guiding Ayurvedic nutrition, there is no need to memorize lists of favored and prohibited foodstuffs, as one can readily identify thosefoods that are suitable for a specific time and a particular place and circumstance byrelying on the senses, and in particular the sense of taste.For each substance, one can readily identify flavor, intrinsic temperature, emollience (moist or dry quality), and relative weight or density. |
