Here's Why Ayurveda Says We Should Cook Our Food

- Many people nowadays have lots of raw vegetables, cold salads and juice their vegetables for various reasons. Some state that the cooking process destroys the enzymes in the food, others say juicing is good because it breaks down the cellulose fibers in the vegetables for better absorption into the cells. Lots of people would rather toss together a quick salad rather than standing over a pot cooking the vegetables. Plus the raw salads look so green and healthy.
This video debunks all these myths and shows what the knowledge of Ayurveda has to say about these misconceptions. Ayurveda is based on sound knowledge, cognized from enlightened seers whose knowledge which is passed down to us is known as “siddhantas,” or eternal truths.
Learn why the cooking process prevents the formation of ama and shleshma (sticky substances that clog the body’s vast network of physical channels. And that while cooking may destroy some of the enzymes in the food, there is far more absorption into the cells than if the vegetable is raw.
Not only that, there are lots of dangerous compounds in raw vegetables which will evaporate out once the vegetable is cooked.
And finally, eating raw vegetables and juicing cold vegetable juice will throw your Vata out of balance over time, as raw vegetables contain all the attributes of data, which is cold, dry and light.

Namaste - I just wanna say thank you so much for sharing your teachings :)
This is profound knowledge - makes far more sense than western approach to food preparation. Everything is energy; balanced and harmony is the key.
Amazing Ayurvedic information ! I am so lucky to find you. I am an Indian allopathic doctor who live in Sydney, Australia but when it comes to my body and mind , I only follow Ayurveda which I learned from Swami Ramdev. thank you so much to put ancient ayurvedic fundamentals in english.
Swami ramdev is fraud..
You should read ashtang hriday book if you want to learn basic ayurveda ..I am an ayurveda student..
I have already looked a little into Ayurveda and learned from it. Same with TCM. I have to say that your videos are such a gem, such a help! Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge; so helpful in trying to do the right thing and enjoy at the same time.🙂
great content! Question: do the harmful chemicals recondense back into the liquid in the liquid pot/pan? Is it then generally best discarded the liquid?
thank you!
These videos have opened my eyes and mind toward Ayurveda truths. Thank you!
Yes this was very useful! Thanks as always Dr. T.
What about raw fish? Blue zone people eat those. Btw, in ancient India, cooking food was considered essential in order to preserve it longer. Fruit wasn't supposed to be cooked. Back in the 70s in India, my mother developed colitis and had to be hospitalized. I was very young and sent to my grandmother in North Bengal during the time she was in hospital. My mother was mainly vata/pitta just like me... her doctors told her to always cook her vegetables from that point on. No raw vegetables.
This is very helpful. Thank You Dr. Teitelbaum. 🙂 I have a few friends over 65 who, despite loving curries and such, have become completely unable to eat any spices - it upsets their stomachs, irritates the digestive process. I've felt so bad for them because they aren't able to get the benefits of the great spices like Mom's Curry and so forth. Have you seen that in your practice and is there a common root cause? Thank You again for putting this incredible information out there for the benefit of all. Namaste.
As with any symptom there could be several root causes and they are somewhat different in each person. But we can bet for sure that their liver is hot and angry and the spices, which ignite agni, are making it even hotter, which makes them feel terrible when they eat the spices. So you have to work on the liver and also identify any other imbalances they may be harboring so they can go back to enjoying the spices again. And yes, I have seen this problems lots of times through my 35 years in practice. And it can be fixed.
@@dr.mteitelbaum makes sense to start with the liver. And I love your optimism (based on your vast experience) that it can be fixed! 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for this video. God bless you.
Most raw food advocates I've seen do mostly fruit for breakfast and lunch and then will do a raw salad. I have so little energy (Vata Kapha with fibromyalgia / chronic fatigue syndrome) that it's hard to cook. It's so much easier to have fruit or even a smoothy, and while I get cold, I have more energy. Does raw fruit apply differently than raw vegetables? I've never been able to stick to a raw diet, but I've also not been able to stick to Ayurveda, because it is rather hard to learn, to learn a whole new way of cooking, and to also make meals with meat for the rest of my family. Usually I'll just like add it a meat side, but I also know that they enjoy food that they're used to. I'm rather at a loss right now on how to get better but also take care of my family.
Eat more paneer yogurt butter
Always try cooking vegetables lentils properly
Hi Marianne, you have added another dimension to my health. Thank you.
Yahusha has all our answers !!!
My question to you is ,the Ayurveda diet is based in iIndia and vegetarian,. I would say healthy fats are necessary. Vegetables such as zuchinni, and yellow squash are easily digested. They live in warm climate and their life style is less vigorous than people living in colder climates. Would you say winter squash is more suited for a person living in a colder climate. If we follow the seasonal foods eating summer squash when it is warm and turning to more heavier foods as the weather turns colder.I believe India with its huge population has only won one gold medal in Olympic games We in the west have lost our way of eating healthy ,settling for convenience quality. Needless to say It's reflective in our over all poor health. Still my bottom line, is there one diet that fits everyone?
I think I feel better eating leafy vegetable salads and cooking cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts.
Possibly okay to do that because lettuce has been hybridized to be more palatable. Nutrients are less the more hybridization there is.
What about cooking vegetables to have in salads? I do that a lot, for instance; cold roasted curried cauliflower, cooked green beans, cooked legumes, etc.
