According to Ayurveda, health is a process and disease is also a process. There is no quick fix in life. In other words, life is a chain reaction.
Body, Mind, & Consciousness all play key role in maintaining the health. Body itself is the mind, and the mind and body is nothing but consciousness! Ayurveda classifies every single individual as a unique personality. The constitution of a person even depends on the mental state of your parents at the time of sex ! These personality is the result of three Doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Khapa. Vata is the air principle, Pitta is the fire principle and Khapa is earth/water principle. A baby is born with various combination of doshas. All doshas are present in an individual all the time. Based on this, Ayurveda classifies 7 different types of individuals: 1) Vata type 2) Pitta type 3) Kapha type 4) Vata + Pitta type 5) Vata + Kapha type 6) Pitta + Kapha type & 7) Vata + Pitta + Kapha type.
Being healthy does not mean keeping vata, pitta, and Kapha in equal proportion. Instead, it means maintaining the original constitution of the body. In other words, maintaining one's own Prakriti. For example, if a person is a Pitta type, he or she should be aware of types of food to eat and types of food to avoid. For a Vata type person eating dry food in winter season is not a good idea. So, Ayurveda emphasize on awareness. Awareness is key to health. For example, when cell looses it's awareness, it divides in an uncontrollable fashion, and we call it cancer. Each cell has it's own awareness. And this awareness is affected by our overall mental awareness. Cell follows mental command. Therefore, awareness is very important.
Living a healthy life means bringing and maintaining balance in one's life. This includes harmonious relationship with both internal and external environments.
