Chennai: Ayurveda is translated from Sanskrit as “The Science of Life” It has been part of the Indian culture for over 5000 years and first originated from the ancient Vedic culture. Ayurveda pays great attention to living a balanced life, with the right principles, diet and actions.
Ayurveda unlike western allopathic medicine does not focus on the disease but maintains that the right flow of energy through a personās body will help to strengthen their defence system. Ayurveda is a more natural form of treatment which seeks to treat and integrate body, mind, and spirit using a comprehensive holistic approach. This form of medicine is deeply rooted in our culture, as is the tradition of almond consumption.
According to Ayurveda there are many benefits of almonds and why you should be consuming them on a daily basis. First and foremost almonds are considered to be sattvic foods.
Almonds provide necessary energy to the body without taxing it. Ayurveda claims that almonds are the nuts which help to produce ojas, the finest by-product of digestion. Eating almonds without the skin helps to remove any pitta-aggravating qualities. Pitta is the energy of digestion and metabolism.
