What should I consider while following a 7-day Ayurvedic meal plan for better health? - #22100

Chloe

I am trying to embrace a healthier lifestyle and came across this 7-day ayurvedic meal plan that sounds really interesting. So, I’ve been like looking for ways to feel more energized and help with some digestive issues I’ve been having. The other day I felt really heavy and bloated after meals, and that got me worried. I thought maybe this natural approach could help. But I’m honestly a bit confused on where to start. Like, should I stick to what 'they' suggest for each day specifically or can I mix things up? I heard that the 7-day ayurvedic meal plan is supposed to balance your doshas and stuff which sounds great but I'm not sure I even know mine. Do I have to get all the ingredients fresh, and what if I can’t find some in my local store? Plus, are there specific foods I should definitely avoid while I’m on this plan? I mean, I'm not looking to make things complicated, just really would love some advice from you guys about managing this 7-day ayurvedic meal plan without making it overwhelming. Additionally, I've seen some recipes online that say they are Ayurvedic but they’re so different from the meal plan I found - which is the right way?, this just kinda gives me a headache, you know? Anyway, I really wanna stick with this for the whole week and hopefully feel a change. Any tips or personal experiences on this would really help! Thanks in advance!!
