According To Ayurveda Egg Is Veg Or Non Veg - #3804
I’ve recently started exploring Ayurveda to improve my overall health and well-being. One of the things I’m curious about is the Ayurvedic perspective on food choices, especially when it comes to eggs. I’ve always considered eggs to be a non-vegetarian food, but I’ve come across some discussions suggesting that Ayurveda views food differently. So, I’ve been wondering: according to Ayurveda egg is veg or non veg? I would love to understand how Ayurveda categorizes eggs and why they are considered in that way. I’ve been following a vegetarian diet for years due to ethical and health reasons, but recently, I’ve been feeling a lack of energy, and I’ve been advised to consider including more protein in my diet. This led me to wonder if eggs would be a good option for me. But then I thought about Ayurveda’s food principles and became uncertain. According to Ayurveda egg is veg or non veg? If I’m aiming for balance, especially with my Pitta dosha, would eating eggs help me, or could they cause an imbalance? I’ve read that in Ayurveda, food is not just categorized as vegetarian or non-vegetarian, but instead, it is evaluated based on how it affects the body and mind. This makes me wonder if eggs could be beneficial in some contexts, even though I’ve always thought of them as non-veg. Can Ayurveda provide any guidance on whether eggs can be incorporated into a balanced diet, or if they are better avoided for certain doshas or health conditions? Does Ayurveda consider egg as non-veg because of the way it’s produced or because of its impact on the body’s energy systems? Another question I have is related to the digestion of eggs. I have sometimes felt sluggish or heavy after eating eggs, and I’ve read that Ayurveda emphasizes foods that are easy to digest. If according to Ayurveda egg is non-veg, does this mean it’s harder to digest for some people or certain dosha types? If so, should I consider limiting egg intake or focus on other sources of protein that might be easier to digest and better suited for my constitution? Furthermore, I’ve been advised by some friends and family to avoid eggs completely, as they believe Ayurveda discourages non-vegetarian foods in general, except in specific circumstances. How much weight should I give to this advice? According to Ayurveda egg is veg or non veg? If it is considered non-vegetarian by Ayurvedic standards, would this mean it’s better to avoid them for spiritual or health reasons, even though I’m struggling with a protein deficiency? Finally, I’ve heard conflicting opinions on whether eggs are considered pure or impure in Ayurveda. Some people say that eggs are tamasic, meaning they promote lethargy and negative emotions, while others believe that eggs can be consumed in moderation for their nourishing qualities. Could you please clarify according to Ayurveda egg is veg or non veg, and whether eggs should be avoided for spiritual or emotional balance in the long term?
