  The principles of Ayurvedic living originated in India more than 5000 years ago. Aiming to reshape the body's natural balance and strengthen the mind/body connection, Ayurveda offers the promise of robust health and long life. An essential part of this way of life is a proper diet, balancing the elements that constitute our individual body-types, and this book provides 130 recipes based on Western ingredients and cooking styles, together with lists of various foods and notes on how they affect health and digestion. Also included are suggestions for maintaining Ayurvedic regimens for the entire family, and menus for festive occasions and special diets.
