You Are What You Eat

The ancient science of Ayurveda emphasized

That we are what we eat, only recently have we realized

Through scientific experiments that the concept holds true

Imbalance in gut health has been found to lead to

A multitude of diseases, affecting the immune system, skin, heart and brain

Centuries-old Ayurvedic principles we are learning again

As a society we tend to eat food ultra-processed

With fad diets many of us are obsessed

We eat with little regard to the time of the day

Sitting at our desks or couches, we snack away

We have developed unhealthy relationships with food

It is time to transform towards eating our attitude

*

To eat less often, and eat less

To eat local and seasonal food, unprocessed

To cook with fresh ingredients, as much as possible, from scratch

More importance to eating mindfully should be attached

We carry, in the form of microbiomes, multitudes inside

The keys to health and wellness within our guts reside
