Different People Have Different Needs
The philosophy of Ayurveda embraces the health of mind and body wellness through the understanding of one's dosha or body type in Ayurveda and the application of the dosha to your life and habits. You find out what Ayurveda body type you are and this dosha can tell you what your strengths and weakness depending on what dosha you are. Each person has a bit of all three dosha's in their makeup but one is usually the most dominate. Identifying your dominant dosha or your Ayurvedic body type, is the first step to then know what you should be looking out for from a health and wellness perspective.

Negative Body Image: It's All In Our Heads
"Oh really? You think so?"
Just recently John McCain's twentysomething daughter responded publically to a critic/pundit who challenged her politics and linked her intellectual credibility to her dress size, suggesting she needed to go on a diet. "Well, you can kiss my big fat ass!" was the response heard round the talkshow circuit. This beautiful, sassy and articulate young woman was quoting Tyra Banks who said it first, awhile back. Ms. Banks had donned a form fitting swim suit and strutted her healthy womanly stuff on her talk show after a media commentator had brought up her apparent change in girth as a topic open for discussion. Is it possible that women as a collective are preparing to take on the image mongers? It is possible that we are weary of constantly seeing and hearing that thin is good and thinner better. That the term "slender" is frequently spoken of as synonymous to sexy, attractive, and goregous! If it's all in our heads, then we have the power to go out of our minds and redefine womanhood into the image in which she truly was created. Is it time to ditch the collective negative body image?

 Heal "Overeating" with Understanding and Nutritional Choices
Ok, so he's been out of town for three days now and hasn't called for two. The kids are hollering for snacks and you've put off shopping so you can do it peacefully once your husband returns. The whole week feels out of whack. In fact the only thing you see on the baking shelf is a sack of chocolate chips. And luckily, they are "dark" chocolate chips. Hmm. That's healthy, right? The first handful goes down so quickly you hardly realized it was a quarter of a cup. Then the second, the third. OH OH. Did it again. Where a little would have sufficed, a lot seemed to suffice better. And now the guilt sets in. "OK Kids, how about something special for supper since everybody's so hungry." "Pizza!" And it's not even Friday! They yelp with joy. "Yeah Mama! Can we get the pineapple and pepperoni again, with extra cheese? Please?"
