  IMPORTANCE OF FOOD IN AYURVEDA  
 

In Ayurveda the food we eat is considered an important factor in the maintenance of health.

Aspects like the type of food that we take, Its quantity, when how and where we eat etc. Should be taken into account. The purpose of eating is served only when proper food is eaten in the proper way.

Ayurveda categorizes food and it’s effects on the physical body and doshas in terms of “Rasa” or taste. It is not possible to equate the way Ayurveda sees food with the modern nutritional understanding of carbohydrates, Protein, minerals and vitamins. The System of Ayurveda is completely different. It takes into account the subtle qualities present in food and not just the chemical components. Each taste according to Ayurveda has a subtle mental and emotional effect, It can have a grounding or stimulating effect to the system or leave a feeling of well being or inertia wisdom is to include a balanced meal of all the tastes in the correct ratios which will have effect on all levels in the body system.

“Is taste very important” To understand food from an Ayurvedic perspective the taste (rasa) in a food need to be considered there are 6 original tastes present in the universe,

 
  SHAD RASAS (SIX TASTES ) :-  
  1. Sweet (Swadu)  
  2. Sour (Amla)  
  3. Salt (Lavana)  
  4. Bitter (Tikta)  
  5. Pungent (Katu)  
  6. Astringent (Kashaya)  
  Each Dosha type has 3 of them as part of their nature and is nourished by the other 3 which are not its own nature, This maintains a balance. Therefore to maintain proper functioning and health in the body and the diet the taste present in the food needs to be taken into account.
