Ayurvedic diet is based on the idea that food can be used as medicine to maintain good health and prevent diseases. In Ayurveda, it is believed that each day is divided into specific time intervals, during which different organs in our body are at their peak performance. To optimize our health and prevent disease, it is important to understand our body’s natural rhythms and follow an Ayurvedic diet accordingly. Here is a breakdown of the 12 important organs and their corresponding time intervals.
