EVERY DAY ARYUVEDA
Ayurveda literally means : the science of life . It is an ancient Indian philosophy which recognises three groupings of body types : Vata , Pita and Kapha . Its premise is the knowledge that health is not a “ one size fits all ” proposition . Careful understanding of your body and its needs is the starting point for your wellness and healing .
Ayurveda teaches that we should have a balance of the 6 tastes by which all foods can be categorised : Sweet , Sour , Salty , Bitter , Pungent , and Astringent . One must understand the unique nature of each person and situation , taking into account the individual , the season , the geography , the emotions , and so on . This is a powerful way to cut through confusing and apparently conflicting wellness advice , and gently reset to your optimal way of cooking and eating . Of course , your allergies , intolerances , ethical practices and preferences all inform this process .
Eating at home is the best way to enjoy and share excellent wines that can be sensitively chosen and paired - especially if you already have a cellar that you are proud of . For some clients , that is a joy that I can help them to discover .
Medical studies have shown that those eating home-cooked meals more than five times a week , compared with fewer than three times a week , consumed 62.3g more fruit ( 99 % CI 43.2 to 81.5 ) and 97.8g more vegetables ( 99 % CI 84.4 to 111.2 ) daily . More frequent consumption of home cooked meals was associated with greater likelihood of having ideal range BMI and ideal percentage body fat .
Studies have also shown that eating homecooked meals has a positive effect on mood and can actually make you happier than eating meals out .
My mission is to help you take control back ; sharing the secrets and the systems that make eating and mealtimes a source of effortless pleasure , whether with your family , friends , associates , or just for you . I want to inspire and equip discerning individuals to take cooking and eating back into the home , giving them the power to create and enjoy the best food that you can have .
