INTRODUCTION

An Ayurvedic cookbook? You might be asking yourself how a diet centered on a 5,000-year-old Hindu-based system of healing can truly benefit your health or fit into your modern lifestyle. The truth is that the fundamental principles of Ayurveda are exactly why this book not only works best with a busy lifestyle but will also help you look and feel better than ever.

That’s a big promise, but Ayurveda delivers because it’s not a so-called “diet” created to help you shed pounds or fit into your skinny jeans. It’s a traditional medicinal practice designed to nourish your body, mind, and spirit in a gentle, easy way that works no matter how busy or overscheduled your life. In fact, the more hectic your world, the more Ayurveda will work for you. That’s because this approach asks you to look at your life holistically, beyond the foods you eat. It takes into account the following aspects of your life:
* Relationships (are they healthy or toxic?)
* Workload (do you have work-home balance?)
* Exercise (are you active or sedentary?)
* A host of other lifestyle factors that impact your health
Ayurveda works in the modern world because it’s based on the notion that you and your lifestyle are unique. One diet won’t work the same way for you that it does for someone else. Ayurveda takes these factors into account by helping you identify and understand your predominant dosha—one of three energies or collections of physical, mental, and spiritual traits that make up your unique constitution. Furthermore, Ayurveda incorporates ways to determine when your system is out of balance. Because imbalance is the precursor to disease, the practice of Ayurveda can help you regain control over your health.

Finally, food is considered medicine in the practice of Ayurveda. What you eat can serve you or work against you, depending on your dosha as well as your lifestyle at any given moment in time. Foods can make you energetic or lethargic, happy or depressed, strong or weak, and focused or distracted, so what you choose to eat will determine the quality of your health.

This cookbook identifies what foods, activities, and lifestyle factors best serve your particular dosha as well as what specific ingredients you require to put your energy levels back into balance so you can ward off disease, inflammation, and illness. And yes, that in turn can help you lose weight, feel happier, gain energy, and reduce stress.

Inside this book, you’ll find more than 125 recipes designed to support the 3 different dosha types; each recipe takes less than 30 minutes to prepare. Handy tips on improving mindfulness, saving time, and incorporating other healthy Ayurvedic principles into your life are also included throughout these pages. You’ll take a quiz to determine the characteristics of your personal dosha. Your answers will reveal the associated body type as well as specific foods and activities to incorporate into your life to maximize your health.

Chapters are divided by types of dishes—soups, baked goods, side dishes, main entrees, desserts, beverages, and accompaniments like chutneys and sauces—so you can mix and match foods regardless of time of day. The one exception is breakfast, which has its own chapter.

If you’re ready for an eating plan that neatly fits into a busy, hectic life, rather than overhauls it, read on. Guaranteed, you’ll soon see why after 5,000 years, this method of healing is still going strong: It works.
