  • The Three Doshas
    Dosha is a Sanskrit word that translates as “mind-body constitution” or “mind-body personality.” According to ayurveda – the 5,000-year-old “science of life” – there are five master elements that make up everything within our bodies and everything outside of our bodies: space, air, fire, water, and earth. Space carries all the aspects of pure potentiality – infinite possibilities; air has the qualities of movement and change; fire is hot, direct, and transformational; water is cohesive and protective; and earth is solid, grounded, and stable.

    Biological systems weave these elements into three primary patterns known as doshas. They are most easily thought of as mind-body principles that govern our style of thinking and behaving. The three doshas are Vata, Pitta and Kapha, and each is mainly a combination of two elements. Vata dosha, woven from space and air, regulates movement and change in our minds and bodies. Pitta dosha, comprised of fire and water, governs digestion and metabolism. Kapha dosha, made from earth and water, maintains and protects the integrity and structure of our mind and body.

Simply type in the chemical and it will give you a detailed description of what the chemical is, what it’s usually found in, and if it’s safe or not. The application was developed by the Center for Science in the Public Interest and goes for $0.99 on iTunes and works with both iPhone and Android phones.

You can scan a product barcode and Fooducate will highlight the good and bad qualities such as calories, fat content, sodium, artificial flavoring and more. It will also grade the product from A+ to F to help simplify things. If the product doesn’t make an A, it will provide alternatives that do; to ensure you are making the healthiest choice. Dieticians developed the application, so you don’t have to worry about the food companies having any influence on the grade. It also points out possible portion control issues- such as a 20 fl oz soda bottle listing nutrition facts for an 8 fl oz bottle. Over 160,000 products are analyzed, which should cover everything in your shopping cart! This application is free and currently available for iPhone and Android phones.
