Eat Feel Fresh

We are living in a time where the masses are waking up to the connection between the mind, body, and spirit. This connection is not new, but rather an age-old wisdom stemming from Ayurvedic tradition in ancient India over 5,000 years ago. We are observing that our bodies are synchronistic displays of our spirits; that our physical health is a reflection of our internal state of being; that the way we eat impacts the way that we feel. Ayurveda is a subject I have deeply studied and wrote about in this lifetime. My book, Perfect Health, published in 1991, was the first to popularize Ayurveda in the West and bridge it with modern medical science. I have dedicated my entire career to adapting ancient Vedic teachings to today’s times so they can be experienced by today’s people. And I stand proud that millennials like Sahara are continuing to share and modernize this wisdom, so it can live on for future generations in our ever-changing global climate. Ayurveda is a living science; one that has transformed and moved throughout the centuries to match the needs of the individuals it serves. Yet its tenants remain the same: the foods we eat become the very foundation of our bodies, seeds of our thoughts, and essence of our consciousness. Everything that we consume contains an energetic effect, and through food, we change the entire fabric of our being. More than ever, we must bridge the worlds between science and spirit, ancient and modern, Eastern and Western. Sahara’s theory on “Alkaline Ayurveda” displayed in Eat Feel Fresh deeply reflects the importance of consuming a nutrient-dense, plantbased diet that incorporates the physical, mental, and spiritual bodies, all of which are deeply connected. The very illusion of separation is what has held us back from health in the past. In Vedanta there is an expression, “As is the atom, so is the universe; as is the microcosm, so is the macrocosm; as is the human body, so is the cosmic body.” This is the very essence of what Sahara shares in Eat Feel Fresh. We are deeply attuned to nature, which provides us with the instincts we need to maintain balance. Ayurveda helps us uncover and sharpen these instincts, so we can make better choices for our overall well-being. I highly recommend this book to anyone that feels called to take a deeper look at the foods they eat and the implications it has on their mind, body, and soul. Sahara Rose is a millennial thought-leader who is taking the torch of Ayurveda and burning it brightly. This is the second book of hers I have had the pleasure to introduce and an example of her dedication to modernizing Ayurveda so its wisdom can transcend time. Let it inspire you to make food choices that serve not only your body, but also your spirit.
