I learned from a holistic doctor what foods to eat and what foods to avoid. The great thing is that the list of foods to eat is unlimited and the foods to avoid are less than what my expectations were. My holistic practitioner is Dr. Kumar, who is third generation Ayurveda doctor and he gave me plenty insight to the cause of my illness.
I was taught that the human body has 5 elements; Air, Space, Fire, Water and Earth. When a human is born they are born with one of these elements then as they grow they develop the others. I learned that I was born with Air. When the body if off balanced it means that there is one of the elements that are off-balanced. I discovered that my Fire is low and was given ways to bring it to balance.
Dr. Kumar informed me that Ayurveda is a way of life not just a one day fix, but a choice of life changes to bring self (soul) back to its balanced center.
How I came to learn about Dr. Kumar was due to my mother introducing me to a Netflix video called Ayurveda: Art of Being. I was compelled that day to make this connection for it snag to my soul. Everything bit of information I listened to made sense and called me to act on that feeling.
I will take these wonderful gifts of wisdom and begin to apply in stages until I have formed a new habit.
