Ayurveda - A Different Perspective

Energy:  In order that the body and brain can function properly it is necessary to create energy from the five basic elements.  That is why we take food and drinks.

The whole cosmos gets the energy from the sun. All types of natural foods, fruits, vegetables, cereals, pulses etc have in them almost equal measure of positive and negative of sun energy.  However foods contain positive and negative properties in varying degrees.  They can be divided in six tastes of which all foods/drinks are made of:

Bitter           =       Air      +       Space

Sweet          =        Earth  +       Water

Astringent     =       Air      +       Water

Salty            =       Earth  +       Fire

Pungent        =       Air      +       Fire     

Sour            =       Water +       Fire

(hot)  (as per Charak Samhitha)

In our daily diet it is necessary to maintain a proper balance in all these six tastes.  Surprisingly, aurveda- Indian medical science has made elaborate research in all kinds of fruits, vegetables and minerals and has established their after effect on the human system. 

When we take foods more of negative types or more of positive types, we create imbalances, leading to diseases. The body tries to balance the positive and negative excesses in the system and such efforts are called disease.
