Curry is GOOD for you
And know what? It’s all in the spices!
According to Ayurveda - an ancient tradition that is said to bring balance & happiness to mind, body & spirit. Humans have three life energies or doshas: vata dosha, pitta dosha & kapa dosha which must be balanced for well-being. This is achieved through a diet that feeds each doshas with meals in each of the 6 taste classification. A meal, replete with a blend of spices, is complete when all tastes are present to balance the 3 doshas.
Modern science has confirmed the health claims of this ancient wisdom especially with regard to medicinal properties of key ingredients in a curry.
Turmeric- to cure and help prevent chronic ailments ranging from indigestion and cold sores to diabetes.
Garlic- It promotes the well-being of the heart and immune systems with antioxidant properties and helps maintain healthy blood circulation.
