A common misperception about Ayurveda is that it is a tool or technique for weight loss. Indeed, one of the most common reasons individuals visit an Ayurvedic resort is to lose weight, yet the weight usually returns quickly… and often with a vengeance. Why? Weight loss is rarely maintained without positive dietary and lifestyle adjustments.

The primary reason for visiting an Ayurvedic resort and subsequently adopting an Ayurvedic lifestyle is to develop new habits that can replace old habits, as well as new routines that can replace old routines, all with the goal of optimizing your health, increasing your energy levels, and thus living life more fully.

Ayurveda provides hundreds of health advice that are simple to learn and quite useful, but they take discipline and commitment. Over time, the modest sacrifices add up, and the rewards become so clear that we wish we had started sooner.
