The Ayurvedic Way to Eat Grains by Season

Ayurveda doesn’t just guide what we eat—it teaches us when and how to eat it. The system considers your body type, environment, and seasonal shifts to suggest the right grains for each season.

By aligning your meals with nature, you can improve digestion, immunity, and energy.
