Introduction to Ayurveda

Originating in India more than 5,000 years ago, Ayurveda

– the science of life – is the oldest system of medicine

practiced in the world today. Ayurveda comes from the root

words ayus, meaning life, and veda, or knowledge; it is the

science and study of how to live a healthier, more balanced

life. According to Ayurveda, living in harmony with nature is

the change of seasons, we see trees shed their leaves, birds

survival depends on it. Our survival, similarly, depends upon

being connected to nature. However, we often eat the same

food year round and rarely do more than throw on a sweater

as the seasons change. Ayurveda teaches us how to live a

balanced and healthy life by understanding the simple laws

of nature designed to support your optimal health.

4-day, Ayurvedic detox program designed to reset your

body’s ability to burn fat. Fat is the body’s detox fuel that we

store when under stress. Living in a stressful world with an

unprecedented amount of toxic exposure makes regular

rid your body of toxic waste. When your system is functioning

properly, toxins are drained off your colon and processed

through 500 lymph nodes. They are then neutralized by white

blood cells and eliminated. If your lymphatic system is

compromised by stress or poor digestion, then your body is

at risk from toxic exposure. Some signs that you are in need

Seasonal Cycles

your body in balance as we transition from season to season.

The foods harvested by season are also antidotes and balance

our changing climates. For example, winter is cold and dry.

Nuts, which are harvested in the fall, are eaten in the winter to

provide the perfect high-fat, high-protein food to insulate our

bodies. In the hot summer months, cool fruits and vegetables

are bountiful. And in the rainy and muddy months of spring,

nature provides a low-fat, low-mucus harvest of sprouts,

greens and berries.

To bring your body back into balance with nature, proceed to

the grocery lists in this booklet and simply begin to eat more

of the foods harvested in each season.

The 3-Season Diet

In nature we harvest foods at the end of the three activegrowing seasons: spring, summer and fall (winter is typically

dormant). Hence, the title of my book, The 3-Season Diet .

In the fall, we harvest foods to be stored and eaten all winter.

So following Ayurveda, you would eat spring-harvested food

from the spring grocery list March through June; summer

listed foods July through October; and your winter fare from

November through February.

Nature’s Intelligence

There are three principles that govern the properties of each

of the three growing seasons:

Season CharacteristicsAyurvedaPrinciple

Translation

Spring wet and heavy Kapha To stick: damplike spring

Summer hot Pitta Fire: hot likesummer

Winter cold and dry Vata Air: dry likewinter

As we are not all the same, the Ayurvedic system of mind/body typing explains why each of us is diff erent and how

these diff erences can be used to tailor a balanced approach

to weight loss.

There are ten possible combinations of the three basic

physiological characteristics. Like an “owner’s manual,”

knowing your mind/body type gives you importantinformation about your requirements for optimal health

and wellbeing.

Based on your totals from the quiz, determine which of the

your nature.

Choose an Exercisefor Your Body Type

Vata

Winter types love vigorous activity. They move quickly,

tending toward overexertion and overtraining. They can

become addicted to exercise, but they don’t need as much

exercise as the other types. They need longer and slower

duration exercises, such as yoga and hiking.

Pitta

Summer types have strong egos and a desire to win. They

have lots of energy and muscular strength, but they need to

focus on having fun rather than only winning. Team and

non-competitive sports are good for Summer types.

Kapha

Spring types are a little slower, perhaps lethargic, but they

have natural endurance. They are methodical and graceful.

They need motivation and regular vigorous exercise.

Note: Use nasal breathing during exercise. If you have to open

your mouth during exercise it is a sign that you are incurring

unnecessary stress. Let the comfortable rhythm of your nasal

breath be the monitor of how much exercise is good and how

more exercise could be potentially harmful. More information

on choosing an exercise for your body type can be found in

my book, Body, Mind and Sport .
