Discover the Ayurveda Way of Naturally Healing Anxiety and DepressionLet me tell you my story. I was once severely depressed, riddled with anxiety. When I was a teenager, my body (like most teens) was completely out of sorts. My menstrual cycle had gone into overdrive, I had acne, and my emotions were all over the place. I gained weight, and I was socially awkward. I tried conventional medicine, and it just had no effect on my condition other than causing worse side effects such as headaches and nausea.Conventional medications carry adverse reactions.My grandmother suggested that I try the natural practice of Ayurveda. The word "Ayurveda" translates to literally "the science of life." I discovered a way to alleviate my hormonal condition by practicing the ideas found in Ayurveda. This lifestyle is a completely natural, safe, and holistic look at health and healing. It's not an easy or quick fix but requires a complete lifestyle overhaul - you must examine what you eat, how you eat it, your sleep patterns, your exercise, breathing, thought patterns, and even your level of celibacy. These factors are all tied together to bring about holistic therapy.Ayurveda is not a quick fix. It's a lifestyle!While my grandmother on my mother's side was born and raised in Delhi, I did not grow up in India. I was more accustomed to the Western world and the way the lifestyle afforded in the United States. I ate burgers and fries, binge watched sitcoms, and slurped soda all day. Sure, I would go for a walk or ride my bike for exercise, but I never gave a second thought to how my lifestyle choices affected my body's chemistry.Ayurveda is a natural, holistic approach to combating diseases, ailments, and health conditions like anxiety and depression.Now that I'm all grown up and out on my own, I have adapted the practice of Ayurveda to my everyday life. I feel amazing and rarely if ever, get sick. In my book all about using Ayurveda to heal anxiety and depression, I want to teach you everything I have learned and put into daily practice.

Vegan Indian Recipes for Health, Wellness, Weight Loss, Happiness & LongevityHave you considered eating a vegan diet and living the vegan lifestyle but aren't sure where to start? In India, for many, veganism is not just a fad but a way of life. There are many dishes you can create that have no ingredients from animals or any animal products.Eating vegan is easy; I will show you how!I had been a chubby girl all my childhood. Chubby, but not overweight. However, I had been diagnosed with PCOS in my teens. Then, I had put on quite some weight.My life has been such a struggle since that moment and for the years to follow. In my pursuit of weight loss, I had also discovered that the meat I was eating had contributed largely to my weight gain, along with my hormone imbalances.Do you know, on average, vegans tend to be 20 pounds lighter when compared to meat-eaters?The saturated fat found in eggs, dairy products, and meat can cause inflammation in the body. So, I decided to cut it down. Six months later, I had lost 10 pounds.Moreover, I don't know if it's a placebo effect or if it's the vegan diet's magic, but ever since I started this lifestyle, I have been feeling very good - I mean calm, composed, and overall happy. Maybe, it all comes down to not having the regret of killing animals for my food.Anyhow, other than weight loss and some other mental health benefits, there are many benefits that a vegan diet has to offer. However, this is not a book about veganism and its benefits. I want to tell you about all the tasty recipes I had personally tried. Most of these recipes are designed, tweaked, and finalized by me.Enjoy over 100 unique and flavourful Indian vegan recipes!I've spent a lot of my time developing these recipes.
