Episode 384: Beyond Diets - Ayurveda’s Way to Sustainable Weight and Health
When we think of dieting, restrictive eating, calorie counting and short-term trends often come to mind. Ayurveda takes a different approach. It offers personalized dietary advice that nourishes and heals your body. Rather than a short-term restriction, Ayurveda views food as an integral part of a sustainable, holistic wellbeing strategy which helps to keep your body/mind in balance, preventing dis-ease.
Colette discusses why Ayurveda doesn’t align with modern dieting:
One-size-fits-all diets ignore individual needs.
Modern diets focus on physical appearance, not health.
Dieting often promotes restriction and deprivation which can weaken digestion.
Lack of consideration for timing of meals with the Circadian rhythm.
Mindful eating is not addressed and how it affects digestion.
Modern diets can create emotional and mental stress.
Diets often don’t consider seasonality and environment.
Ayurveda focuses on disease prevention, longevity and sustainability
