Authentic yet easy-to-follow, this is the most accessible, effective and simple guide available to using the complex ancient wisdom of Ayurveda in a modern lifestyle, from weight loss to de-stressing. "Brings Ayurveda, and all of its healing power, into the 21st century" Ravinder Bhogal, chef, author and TV presenter Health expert and sceptic Emin Ali Rushton was converted to an Ayurvedic approach during pregnancy, when she discovered how eating and living according to the ancient Indian principles of Ayurveda rebalances the body for the better. Ayurveda teaches that we each have a dosha - a basic body type that defines our personality and physical wellbeing, from the foods we crave to those that spark allergies and increase weight gain. This book is the first to decode this 5,000-year-old science of wellbeing specifically for busy, modern lives. It shows just how simple and practical a body-balancing seasonal lifestyle can be, helping you beat stress, lose weight and feel energised and positive every day. After determining your dosha type, it teaches how to eat for your own dosha, to promote speedy and sustainable weight loss and make your body feel light, vital, energized and beautiful again. There is a simple 3-day diet plan and 30 seasonal recipes using supermarket ingredients. Includes expert advice from leading nutritionist Eve Kalinik, seasonality expert Annee de Mamiel and the founder of The Organic Pharmacy, Margo Marrone.
