Learn about the energetic effects of different foods, the role of taste in Ayurveda, their effects on the doshas, and their actions on the body and mind.

Vasant Lad, B.A.M.&S., M.A.SC., discusses the importance of proper food combining and gives appropriate diets based on the season and geographical location.
