Ayurvedic Nutrition
Ayurvedic wisdom views Ahara or diet as one of the three fundamental pillars essential to health and wellbeing. A healthy diet is vital for maintaining our life force or prana. As per classical Ayurvedic perspective, the nutritional content of a diet is evaluated on the basis of Guna (properties) and Virya (potency) of the food and appropriate food combinations. Foods chosen and combined appropriately can dramatically improve the quality of digestion, support the body in receiving a deeper level of nourishment and positively impact both physical and mental health. Contrarily many health issues arise from an inappropriate diet leading to an impaired metabolic fire or agni.
At Ayurvedagram Bali, our nutrition philosophy bases itself on the classical Ayurvedic principle that the food we eat must maintain a harmonious balance of the mind, body and spirit. Our Ayurvedic physicians and nutritionists will guide you through this complex and fascinating process of understanding the symbiotic relationship between the food you eat, your unique dosha and lasting good health. While our culinary experts honed in Kerala Ayurvedic traditions will create meals suitable to individual's body constitution or dosha. The essence of our treatment plan lies in enabling our guests with the wisdom to experience and appreciate the transformative benefit of adapting to Ayurvedic food philosophy. We advocate limiting of most animal products and processed foods, and encourage eating natural - real food, grown by sun, soil, wind, and water, enriched with nature’s prana (life force).
Benefits this treatment brings

Enhances digestive metabolism
An Ayurvedic diet plan involves easy-to-digest foods with a load of nutrients, promoting gut health. It is noticed that consuming Ayurvedic nutrition recipes helps prevent digestive issues like Hyperacidity, Diarrhea, Constipation, IBS and Gastric problems. Our Ayurvedic Nutritionist will identify and guide you to recognize foods that are incompatible with each other and cause digestive problems. Restrain or limiting consumption of the identified incompatible food combinations will thus help avert various health risks.

Weight Loss
An Ayurvedic Nutrition Plan crafted to suit individual constitution or prakriti can work wonders in maintenance of healthy weight and facilitate sustainable weight loss. Several factors aid in weight gain, like hormonal changes. Such hormonal variations can be restored to normalcy with an appropriate diet. An Ayurvedic diet supported with herb supplements may also help enhance insulin sensitivity and aid diabetes management.

Improves Mood
An Ayurvedic diet can assist in raising mood stabilization and energy by customizing the food prescribed to an individual's specific needs because it considers their unique body and mental type based on their unique dosha. Also accorded due consideration are metabolic processes, biological cycles, seasonal fluctuations and life phases which are all unique to every individual.

Battles Low Immunity & Fatigue
An Ayurvedic diet is immensely beneficial in combating weariness, lethargy and susceptibility to stress-related illnesses. To boost immunity, raise energy level and avoid anemia, foods like cooked veggies, buttermilk and spices like garlic, cardamom, pepper, ginger and honey are recommended in Ayurveda text. Additionally, adaptogen herbs like Ginseng and Ashwagandha are included in the prescribed diet to help the body combat stress
Encourages Consumption of Seasonal, Organic & Locally Grown Foods
Classical Ayurvedic texts advocate consumption of a diet that balances the dosha that is peaking, based on the season, regardless of an individual's dosha, is crucial. The Vata, Pitta, and Kapha energies are believed to peak in the summer, fall, and late winter, respectively.
Here's a simple way to think about it:
1. In summer, go for naturally sweet foods and avoid too much spiciness, sourness, or saltiness. Opt for meals that are not too hot and drier, choosing astringent and bitter flavors. This way, you align your diet with the season, making choices that complement the warm weather and help keep you balanced.
2. Eat fewer fats and lighter foods; prioritize moist foods over dry ones.
3. Consume more fresh fruits and vegetables and less heated foods like soups and stews.
4. Savor additional freshly squeezed juices, coconut products, yoghurt, smoothies, and refreshing veggies like melons, cucumbers, and berries
5. In the Fall, avoid spicy, sour, and salty dishes in favor of sweet, mildly bitter, and astringent foods. Strike a balance between light and heavy and cooling and hot foods. Consume more pomegranates, warm spices, soups, and well ripened seasonal fruits. Eat extra bitter green vegetables and herbs as well.

Good to know
Some general pre-treatment suggestions and recommendations that we would like to share.
An effective Ayurvedic nutritional treatment necessitates the guidance of an expert Ayurvedic physician and nutritionist. Like all other treatments at Ayurvedagram Bali, this too begins with a one-on-one consultation with the Ayurvedic physician.
While our Ayurvedic Nutrition guidance program offers numerous health benefits and is safe for most people, there are specific situations and conditions in which it may not be beneficial or suitable. Hence it is essential to provide all information of your medical history to the Physician at the time of consultation to ensure your complete safety and well-being during your stay. The physician considers each person's unique needs, based on the person’s unique dosha, current health and imbalances if any and then recommends specific dietary choices, and herb supplements to restore health and well-being.
We take health precautions seriously. If you have any medical conditions such as high blood pressure, heart conditions or food and other allergies, physical disabilities or ailments, please inform us beforehand.
We recommend that you wear comfortable yoga-style clothing that is wash and wear. This will help you feel relaxed and comfortable throughout your stay here and also incase Ayurvedic treatments and Yoga & Meditation sessions are prescribed in your personalized package.

“So, we just wrapped up our Ayurveda retreat here at Ayurvedagram Bali. We have been here for two days. We got here yesterday, and had a consultation with one of the doctors about our health condition, mental and physical and they catered to treatments especially for our health conditions, including massage. It has been quite an amazing experience, amazing food. The property is so beautiful. Our room is so beautiful. Everybody is so nice here. It’s honestly a 10 out of 10 experience. I have never done anything like this, but I’m really glad I came here and had this opportunity to just relax, take in all what it offers, the jungle, the pool, the people, the food, the mental health. It has been amazing.”
