Health journalist and skeptic Eminé Kali 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 intolerances 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 excess weight, and feel energized and positive every day. Ayurveda for Modern Life guides you through the process of determining your dosha type and teaches you how to eat for your own dosha and make your body feel light, vital, energized, and well again. This ultimate guide to living the Ayurveda way also includes expert advice from leading nutritional therapist Eve Kalinik, TCM practitioner Annee de Mamiel, and the founder of The Organic Pharmacy, Margo Marrone.
