Guest guest Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Transform your health with Ayurveda By Dr Partap Chauhan http://www.jiva.com/ayurveda/ayurveda/articles122.asp  Food for Wellness In my previous article, I introduced you to Jivananda—a lifestyle regimen based on the principles of Ayurveda to bring in eternal bliss into our lives. Today I would like to discuss one of the most important aspects of Ayurveda—food. According to Ayurveda, food is not only a mixture of all the basic ingredients like proteins, vitamins, fats and carbohydrates, but it is also something, which serves as a source of energy for the mind and the soul as well. After digestion, food is either converted into Ojas or Ama, depending whether the food consumed is pro-Ayurvedic or ante-Ayurvedic. Ojas is the most refined product of the digestive process—the biochemical essence that sustains life and health. Ama is the toxin formed from improper metabolism of the food. Therefore, the food chosen, cooked and consumed in accordance with the Ayurvedic principles is finally converted to Ojas which provides vigour, strength, and vitality to all tissues (dhatus). [Please read the entire article in the link above] " It is now 30 years since I have been confining myself to the treatment ofchronic diseases. During those 30 years I have run against so many histories of littlechildren who had never seen a sick day until they were vaccinated and who, in the severalyears that have followed, have never seen a well day since. I couldn't put my finger onthe disease they have. They just weren't strong. Their resistance was gone. They wereperfectly well before they were vaccinated. They have never been well since.
