Ayurvedic Practitioners will learn how to introduce this knowledge to clients in a way that supports behavioral change much more effortlessly and how to make cooking and nutrition practical for everyday life.  You will understand how to counter common nutritional myths and popular fads and reveal the dangers of specific, misunderstood “healthy foods”. And we will clarify the misconceptions about canola oil, the use of and properties of honey, why stir-frying and roasting spices can be dangerous, why cholesterol is good for you (especially that found in ghee), and why the kitchari diet is an unhealthy staple for most people.

You will discover the science behind specific Ayurvedic recommendations and why and how they create health, and the surprising “hierarchy of impact” on the doshas – with specific foods such as vegetables being low on the totem pole. Learn what has the most efficient and profound effect on the physiology and why eating for your “body-type is not an effective method for creating balance.   http://nwaveda.com/wordpress1/ayurvedic-cooking-and-nutritio…
