Ayurveda Definition Of Optimum Health & Weight: Find Out Why Famous Medical Doctors Advocate the Ayurveda Diet


What is Ayurveda? The word-by-word Ayurveda definition is “Wisdom of Life” - Ayu is the Sanskrit for life and Veda means wisdom.

Discover here Ayurveda definition of weight gain, the 3 Ayurveda body types and practical solutions for losing weight and keeping it off naturally that you can apply immediately in your everyday life.

Plus, you'll find out why famous medical doctors you've certainly heard of are integrating with such great success the Ayurvedic diet with the traditional medical approaches.

Before anything else, you should know that Ayurveda wisdom, a 5,000-year medical system summarizing the Hindu art of healing and prolonging life, is all about keeping your body in a state of harmony and balance.

Today there are Ayurvedic doctors, clinics, and colleges officially recognized all over the world teaching the principles of this millenary system of bringing the body back to its natural state of balance.

Rather than treating a specific symptom or disease, Ayurveda diet focuses on your body as a whole and on its inherent power to cure itself with the aid of naturopathy.

The unity of your body, mind, and spirit is what characterizes this holistic, traditional Vedic system of health care.

So the essence of Ayurveda definition and concepts is this: as you integrate this unity of body, mind, and spirit in your everyday life, your consciousness evolves as well, unfolding like the petals of the lotus flower - the traditional Ayurvedic symbol.


Ayurveda Definition of Tridosha

Let's go one step further... The basis of Ayurveda diet is the concept of tri-dosha, or the system of the three doshas: Vata, Pitta and Kapha (the equivalent of the three body types, ectomorph, mesomorph and endomorph).

According to this ancient system of healing, the formula for your optimum health, ideal weight, increased longevity, vitality and fulfillment in life is to:

  • live in harmony with your natural environment and the seasons
  • keep a a stress-free mind and a joyful spirit, and
  • have a balanced dosha - learn more about your dosha on Ayurveda body types

Just think about it.

Influencing both Chinese and Hippocratic systems of medicine over the centuries, today this holistic system is one of the leading forms of integrative, body-mind medicine available in the West. Its greatest popularity is in the West European countries with highly progressive health care systems like, UK, Germany, Sweden, Netherlands, France.

Ayurveda promotes diets customized for your specific body type, yoga and meditation as simple, practical ways of integrating your body, mind, and emotions - this is the key of Ayurveda definition itself.

You might be wondering why is it that you've heard of Chinese medicine, but not too much about Ayurveda, the oldest healing system in the world.

Well, here's why.

Ayurveda is a 5,000 years old comprehensive system of natural health. In India, it has been practiced mainly in the south (where the original Vedic manuscripts were taken by the masters to save them from the wars going on in the north).

Later, Buddhist monks took this healing science to China, where it shaped the Chinese medicine. Many hundreds of years later, Ayurveda was brought in North America by the Chinese, and that's why it's more popular on the West Coast.

In the United States, today Ayurveda definition of optimal health and weight is becoming increasingly integrated in most alternative healing modalities... A growing number of alternative therapists are using with great success the Ayurvedic principles in their everyday practice. An increasing number of medical doctors are becoming trained in this holistic approach to traditional medicine.

By far, the most popular medical doctors practicing Ayrvedic principles are Dr. Deepak Chopra & Dr. David Simon from the Chopra Center for Wellbeing in San Diego, of whom you've probably heard.

Also, Dr. Nancy Lonsdorf, the medical director of North America's oldest and largest in-residence Ayurveda Health Center, and Dr. John Douillard from the LifeSpa in Boulder, Colorado.

Dr. John Douillard is the author of a highly-praised and popular book on weight loss based on your Ayurvedic body type, The 3-Season Diet: Eat the Way Nature Intended: Lose Weight, Beat Food Cravings, and Get Fit,

Speaking of this book, Dr. Deepak Chopra said, "The 3-Season Diet is based on one of the most effective healing theories in the world and John Douillard offers an easy, effortless and joyful solution to weight problems and food cravings."
