Ayurveda defines health as a balance of body, mind, and spirit, aligned with nature and in harmony with the earth’s elements. In Ayurveda the body consists of the five universal elements – space, air, water, fire, earth – in combinations called doshas: Vata is space/air; Pitta is fire/water; Kapha is earth/ water. We all have elements of these three doshas in our unique profile. Keeping them in balance is key and diet is critical. Choosing foods with the correct elemental properties ensures dosha balancing. Warming foods are best for Vata (air); cooling foods for Pitta (fire); and light foods for Kapha (earth). Foods that are fresh, firm, and succulent promote health, vitality, strength, and long life. Choose foods with this intent, as well as local, seasonal, and organic to sustain the environment, and keep the muscular system healthy and strong. .Come and discover: • Foods that balance Vata to strengthen bones • Calcium containing vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds • The benefits of Ashwagandha and Guggulu • Methods to prevent osteoporosis and osteopenia • Supplements to improve bone health • Herbal teas that reduce inflammation • Foods and beverages to avoid
