An Ayurveda breakfast takes into account your dosha or Ayurvedic body type and follows certain guidelines to ensure good digestion. Let’s take a look at some healthy breakfast ideas from Ayurveda.
We all know that a balanced breakfast is important for starting the day. In particular, breakfast is a critical meal when Vata dosha is elevated.
After an overnight fast, a healthy breakfast helps in nourishing Vata, the Ayurvedic element of air and space responsible for all forms of movement in the body.
From an Ayurvedic perspective, one should eat in accordance with their hunger alone. Skipping breakfast might also disturb the sadhaka Pitta which is responsible for maintaining an even temper, joy, and contentment.
