Indian Weight loss Diet

When we hear the word “diet” one tends to think of some western culture infiltrating in our Indian minds, but the fact is we Indians ourselves have defined ” Diet” long back in Ayurveda which translates to science of life.

Over thousands of years, people in India have been discovering the wonders of medicinal herbs and the unique characteristics of every type of food. Ayurvedic medicine, which was developed by Indian scientists and yogis, is now a highly refined science.

The Indian diet takes into account a person’s age, gender, constitution (called “dosha”), and the season. It centers on a person’s constitution, their “dosha”, which is split into three types: Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Each of the dosha has its own qualities. The foods has the power to increase/decrease these elements. For example, ginger is considered a herb which can increase the pitta power so a person with weak pitta (a weak digestion) is advised to take ginger. Similarly, dairy increases kapha (the elements which enhance the viscosity and phlegm in the body), so a person having problems like cholesterol, asthma (disorders of viscosity) is asked to avoid dairy products or at least minimize it.

The next time any body thinks of Dieting and ” Diet” we have our very own Indian methods and specialized Indian diets which offer the same effect as any other diet
