Everyday Ayurveda Cooking for a Calm, Clear Mind
100 Simple Sattvic Recipes.
Eat your way to increased energy, balanced emotions, and an overall state of calm and relaxation.
An Introduction to Ayurveda
Ayurveda helps us understand how foods affect our mental wellness by balancing certain energies—specifically, satisfaction, passion, or lassitude.
Balancing Sattva, the state of contentment and calm
Foods that cultivate sattva are fresh, seasonal, lovingly prepared, simple, and nourishing. Whole grains, nuts and seeds, legumes, fresh fruits, and vegetables are the staples of a sattvic diet.
Cooling Rajas, the state of reactivity and excitability
Foods that decrease rajas are naturally sweet, freshly prepared, soothing to the body, and delicately flavorful, such as fresh herbs and spices; juicy, sweet fruits; and root vegetables.
Decreasing Tamas, the dull, slow, and stagnant state of mind
Foods that decrease tamas are fresh, light, local, and vegetarian.
