My research on health and well-being mainly concentrated on the Ayurveda and natural life styles and I am not a doctor, so this article should not be taken as professional advice. In this article I would like to share my own personal experience.
Our human bodies are made of the five elements, and if we follow the one ingredient rule and nothing that is altered by humans, we could naturally stay fit.
So what is this One ingredient rule?
To briefly define: Any ingredient that is naturally provided and not altered in any farm, factory or by human nor combined with other multiple ingredients can be classified as ONE INGREDIENT. Some examples of one ingredients are Butter, Milk, Fresh Fruits, Fresh Vegetables, Nuts, Pulses, Grains etc.
In other words one ingredient will be Butter instead of Margarine or vegetable spreads. To naturally stay healthy use everything that Nature provides as it is. Drink natural whole fat Milk, instead of the altered skimmed milk. Eat fresh fruits and fresh vegetable instead of its factory processed foods. Replace your snacks like crisps and biscuits with nuts and dried berries. You don't need to take my word for it. Why don't you try it for just one week and you will notice how energised and light you will feel. Changing my diet to all natural helped increase metabolism and I felt really good overall! I even slept sounding waking up refreshed and revitalised!
The One Ingredient Rule is also in line with Ayurveda. Ayurveda has simplified the health concepts for all to understand. If we keep a balanced "rasas" or loosely translated as " taste" we will re-balance our body and health.
Ayurveda can be outlined as a tradition of life’s gift of silent knowledge, which utilizes the inherent principles of nature; to heal, to promote vitality and to relieve pain, by keeping the anatomy of energy in perfect equilibrium with the entire cosmos energies.
This timeless wisdom dates back well over 5000 years. During Vedic civilization it was taught as a verbally narrated art by skilful Maharishis (master meditators) to their disciples. Some of this intelligence found its way to print a few thousand years ago, but much of it is inaccessible.
Ayurveda’s esteem lies in its subtle yet scientific and natural approach to heal a person in totality and in all creation including our immortal, incorporeal and bodily forms.
In Ayurveda, foods are classified into six tastes (rasas)--sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent and astringent. Many foods have more than one taste--Amla, the Indian Gooseberry, for example, contains five of these six tastes: all except salty, traditional it is consumed with a pinch of salt, thus balancing all rasas. Turmeric contains three--bitter, pungent and astringent and used in all indian cuisine. Ayurvedic healers recommend that you include all of these six tastes at each main meal you eat. Each taste has a balancing ability, and including some of each provides complete nutrition, minimizes cravings and balances the appetite and digestion.
The general modern diet tends to have too much of the sweet, sour and salty tastes, and not enough of the bitter, pungent and astringent tastes causing imbalance in our mind-body constitution.
If you follow the balance of the six tastes and combine it with the one ingredient rule where applicable you will be able to stay healthy and energized.
You may want to explore the authentic understanding of imbalance caused due to energies blockages.
