Eating is a necessity, but 'eating right' is a science!

The right nutrition can have a long-lasting effect on your physical, mental and spiritual health and also positively contribute to your overall well-being.

Although nutrition is usually connected with the stomach, it has a 360-degree effect on your health. Take a deep dive into understanding the role of nutrition on your health, how to eat healthy, how to plan and cook a better meal to maximize the effect of micronutrients in foods, and most importantly how to understand the characteristics of nutrition that complements your dominant constitutional type (Dosha).

This beginner’s course takes you on exhaustive understanding of the underlying facts and factors that will empower you to make the correct decisions first by understanding what your body actually needs, and how your body is different from the rest of the people around you, and then goes beyond conventional traditional knowledge that you may have gathered until now to teaches you the simple and practical tips and techniques that will help you in getting the most out of every morsel of food that you consume.
