It shows a person how to optimize their health on a continual basis. You can't take the doctor home with you, but you can take Ayurveda home with you. Ayurveda is the most advanced and easy to use home system for self healing.HOW DOES AYURVEDA WORK?
Ayurveda starts by identifying your body type, which identifies certain tendencies in your body to get sick (as well as identifying your strengths). It uses body type to determine the likely root causes of your disorders. Next, Ayurveda analyzes the nature of your disorder. It fits all your signs and symptoms into a pattern, expressed as a combination of biocharaceristics (gunas). For example, you may have a heat disorder, a cold disorder, or an oily disorder, etc. This simple categorical approach shows you how to correct systemic imbalances and strengthen your body as a whole.On Joyful Belly, we've created an extensive categorization of food so you can easily match food to your imbalanced biocharacteristics. By eating an optimal diet that balances your biocharacteristics, your whole body is strengthened and the conditions that created the disorder are removed. Once the root causes of the disease are removed, the disease lessens in strength or disappears altogether. Additional remedies - such as herbs and lifestyle practices - focused on the specific disorder, can greatly enhance your healing.

I have found, through experimenting, that no matter how many times you eat per day, it is important to be consistent...at least, that rings true for me. I've followed a 5-6 meal/snack routine for years and now that I've tried to change it, while being inconsistent, my appetite has gone haywire. Now, it's difficult for me to establish a routine again, since my body and mind is unsure how many times to eat per day (as far as needing and wanting to) I can feel the effects on my entire endocrine system.
Yes, it is very hard to change your routine of eating. This really sounds like a situation we could help you with in a consultation. In the mean time, try having a ginger appetizer about 15-20 minutes before each meal to encourage a strong appetite at the appropriate time. Does this help?
