Ayurveda is Sanskrit for “science of life.” The teachings of Ayurveda propose that everything in life is connected. Thus, general health and wellness rely on achieving balance and harmony. This ancient wisdom suggests that digestion is the key to optimal health and that we can live a healthy life with a balanced diet and lifestyle. However, many of the foods we consume today cause imbalances that can harm digestion. If you didn't know, only 12 percent of American adults are metabolically healthy.
Ayurveda offers wisdom regarding the healthiest way to make smoothies, depending on a person's unique body type.
