Ayurveda and Juicing...
Ayurveda is clear on one thing: nothing is all good or all bad for anybody all of the time. And so it is with juicing. It can greatly benefit some people at certain times, and be absolutely detrimental to other people at other times. The way Ayurveda looks at individual constitutions as well as the qualities inherent in food and the seasons further supports this idea.
Juices by their very nature are cold, light and dry (no fat). Depending on whether you have more air (vata), fire (pitta), or earth (kapha) in your individual constitution, those qualities may or may not agree with you. On the plus side, juicing is a great way to provide your body with mega-doses of vitamins and nutrients, in an easily absorbable form. It will also give your body a break from digesting foods that are heavier and denser, so it has more energy to heal and repair itself.
Don't use juicing as a meal replacement - use it as a snack and never with ice.
As we move into summer and heat (Pitta Season) as well as Strawberry season try the below Pitta juice recipe and take note how it makes you feel.
Pitta –
What you need:
• 1 medium cucumber
• 1 small Kiwi
• 5 Strawberries
• 1 small Mango, peeled
• 1 cup of Pineapple Chunks
• 1/2 cup coconut water or regular water (room temp)
• 1 tablespoon of flax oil
Pitta is characterized by a powerful appetite that can become unbalanced with heavy spicy foods and likewise can become more balanced by sweeter and lighter foods. Since pitta is also associated with fire and heat, drinking this vitamin rich juice will be a welcomed coolant for an overactive pitta. The flax oil is a great Omega 3 alternative to almond, olive, sesame, and canola oils, which can be aggravating to a pitta.
