According to Ayurveda, 'we are what we eat'. Taking care of what we eat and drink can help us live well and in balance mentally and physically.

Well-being from an Ayurveda lens

The Elements

Everything in nature, including our bodies, are made of five elements earth, water, fire, air & ether. Together, two elements make a functional energy (dosha)

The Functional Energies (Doshas)

Vata dosha, made of air and ether, is responsible for movement e.g., blood circulation, movement of thoughts. 

Pitta dosha, made of fire and a bit of water, is responsible for transformation e.g., digestion, metabolism.

Kapha dosha, made of earth and water, is responsible for lubrication and structure.

The Balance

When all the three doshas are in balance, one experiences health at a physical, emotional and spiritual levels. Ayurveda promotes well-being by bringing in balance these there doshas. This it does by following two basic principles - likes increase like and opposites balance. A simple everyday example of this is that in the cold months you crave for something that warms your body on the inside like ginger or cinnamon tea, or reach out for warm wool jacket. On the other hand, during the summer season, you crave for something cooling like cucumbers and mint.
