Ananda Rejuvenation Cuisine Concept
To follow Ayurvedic dietary principles one has to consider individual body types; personality; response to factors like stress, weather and factor in the time of year and life, while suggesting specific food and activity options. Each individual is categorized into body types – Vatta, Pitta and Kapha depending on activity level, medical condition and lifestyle.
The Ananda menu places emphasis on the importance of a balanced diet. Ayurvedic food can be divided into six fundamental categories according to taste: sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter and astringent, with each taste containing nutritional factors that the body needs for proper functioning.
The diet should include all six tastes, macronutrients like protein, fat and carbohydrates in each meal. Since each type of food has a unique affect on digestion, metabolism and the formation of tissues, diets in which only certain food groups, nutrients and tastes are prominent can lead to significant imbalance. It can also lead to cravings for certain food or a sense of feeling hungry, fatigued or tired after finishing a large meal.
A balanced diet should have all three macronutrients - carbohydrates, proteins and fats and all the six tastes. A healthy individual who is moderately to highly active, need to consume a diet that is based on 55 to 60 percent carbohydrates, 20 to 25 percent protein and the remaining 15-20 percent derived from fats. 6 X nutrition could be a key that can unlock the door to lifelong weight management. This is a system whereby the total caloric intake for a day is broken down into 6 meals as opposed to 3 meals. The same number of calories spread over 6 meals can induce weight loss without a proportional increase in activity.
The body is only capable of absorbing 21000 calories at one time; the excess is diverted to fat and is used as energy later. Regular intake of food throughout the day, keeps some food in digestion constantly, which evens out the flow of insulin and therefore preventing a peak and corresponding valley - the feeling of hunger.
