Introduction to Ayurveda
Originating in India more than 5,000 years ago, Ayurveda
– the science of life – is the oldest system of medicine
practiced in the world today. Ayurveda comes from the root
words ayus, meaning life, and veda, or knowledge; it is the
science and study of how to live a healthier, more balanced
life. According to Ayurveda, living in harmony with nature is
the change of seasons, we see trees shed their leaves, birds
survival depends on it. Our survival, similarly, depends upon
being connected to nature. However, we often eat the same
food year round and rarely do more than throw on a sweater
as the seasons change. Ayurveda teaches us how to live a
balanced and healthy life by understanding the simple laws
of nature designed to support your optimal health.

unprecedented amount of toxic exposure makes regular
rid your body of toxic waste. When your system is functioning
properly, toxins are drained off your colon and processed
through 500 lymph nodes. They are then neutralized by white
blood cells and eliminated. If your lymphatic system is

Seasonal Cycles
your body in balance as we transition from season to season.
The foods harvested by season are also antidotes and balance
our changing climates. For example, winter is cold and dry.
Nuts, which are harvested in the fall, are eaten in the winter to
provide the perfect high-fat, high-protein food to insulate our
bodies. In the hot summer months, cool fruits and vegetables
are bountiful. And in the rainy and muddy months of spring,
nature provides a low-fat, low-mucus harvest of sprouts,
greens and berries.
To bring your body back into balance with nature, proceed to
the grocery lists in this booklet and simply begin to eat more
of the foods harvested in each season.

The 3-Season Diet
In nature we harvest foods at the end of the three activegrowing seasons: spring, summer and fall (winter is typically
dormant). Hence, the title of my book, The 3-Season Diet .
In the fall, we harvest foods to be stored and eaten all winter.
So following Ayurveda, you would eat spring-harvested food
from the spring grocery list March through June; summer
listed foods July through October; and your winter fare from
November through February.
Nature’s Intelligence
There are three principles that govern the properties of each
of the three growing seasons:
Season CharacteristicsAyurvedaPrinciple
Translation
Spring wet and heavy Kapha To stick: damplike spring
Summer hot Pitta Fire: hot likesummer
Winter cold and dry Vata Air: dry likewinter

As we are not all the same, the Ayurvedic system of mind/body typing explains why each of us is diff erent and how
these diff erences can be used to tailor a balanced approach
to weight loss.
There are ten possible combinations of the three basic
physiological characteristics. Like an “owner’s manual,”
knowing your mind/body type gives you importantinformation about your requirements for optimal health
and wellbeing.
Based on your totals from the quiz, determine which of the
your nature.

Choose an Exercisefor Your Body Type
Vata
Winter types love vigorous activity. They move quickly,
tending toward overexertion and overtraining. They can
become addicted to exercise, but they don’t need as much
exercise as the other types. They need longer and slower
duration exercises, such as yoga and hiking.
Pitta
Summer types have strong egos and a desire to win. They
have lots of energy and muscular strength, but they need to
focus on having fun rather than only winning. Team and
non-competitive sports are good for Summer types.
Kapha
Spring types are a little slower, perhaps lethargic, but they
have natural endurance. They are methodical and graceful.
They need motivation and regular vigorous exercise.
Note: Use nasal breathing during exercise. If you have to open
your mouth during exercise it is a sign that you are incurring
unnecessary stress. Let the comfortable rhythm of your nasal
breath be the monitor of how much exercise is good and how
more exercise could be potentially harmful. More information
on choosing an exercise for your body type can be found in
my book, Body, Mind and Sport .
