People are so scared of eating this or that for fear that they will get fat. This type of thinking is at epidemic levels. Everyone is so tuned in to cutting out tastes that they enjoy because someone said it may be bad for you. Ridiculous!
According to Ayurveda if you are not enjoying eating, the food won't be digested properly. It will actually turn toxic. If you are eating something you like and it happens to be salty and all the while you are afraid of the bad it might be doing to you, you are killing yourself. The food probably won't be nearly as harmful as what you are turning it into because of your fear.
One of the key "treatments" in Ayurveda is diet recommendations. If you look at the list of diets in articles number 4 to 8 on this blog you will notice I have detailed out some food groups. If you look at the list in detail you will find that one list contains lots of things you like, another one will contain a few things and the third list will not have very many of your favorite tastes.
Each list corresponds to a mind-body type, as Dr. Deepak Chopra terms it. There are three mind-body types, according to Ayurveda. Most people find that they are predominantly one body type with a close second. You mind-body profile could be all three or just one, but in most cases you will be a combination of two.
So, what you need to do is to look at the three lists and figure out which tastes you like. Once you know which list appeals to you the most, favor the foods on that list when you can. However, don't become religious about it. There is no rule greater than "eat what is appropriate for you at any given time".
You'll find that your taste will change from morning to night. It will be different at different times of the day. It will be different depending on your lifestyle. Your taste will also change with the seasons.
I'll get into lots of "guidelines" as we go, on this blog. However, the most important thing to understand is that you need to start getting in tune with what you like. As you get tuned in, you will find that your preferences will change. As a general guideline, for now, until I give you more information, favour the list that you have identified as containing a lot of your favorite foods.
This list of foods will be most healthy for you. When you eat food that is compatible with your mind-body type (known as Prakriti in Ayurveda) your digestion will be strong, your complexion will be radiant and you will gain good health and peace of mind. You will start to have "bliss" experiences.
To build up the "bliss" experiences, combine tasty food selection with the guidelines in article number 3 on this blog.
