Dining

At Ananda, visitors discover that true healing originates from within, just as significantly as it does from external sources.

Within the realm of Ayurveda, an individual’s physical and mental well-being is profoundly influenced by the food they consume. Each person possesses a unique constitution, or dosha, consisting of Vata (the energy of movement), Pitta (the energy of digestion and metabolism), and Kapha (the energy of building and lubrication). These doshas guide individuals towards specific food groups and ingredients tailored to their distinctive characteristics.

Ananda’s team has meticulously crafted special menus designed to align with each dosha, taking into account seasonal variations in cuisine and recommended cooking styles. This approach combines the six fundamental tastes of sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent with the three macronutrients of protein, fat, and carbohydrates, all of which are crucial components for optimal health.

The emphasis at Ananda is on fresh, natural ingredients that are low in fat and calories. The team prioritizes whole grains, fresh fruits, and vegetables, along with lean proteins like chicken and fish, and low-fat dairy products. The culinary offerings at Ananda avoid added or artificial salts, colors, flavors, or preservatives, ensuring a pure and healthful dining experience.

The Ananda Healthy Cuisine App empowers guests to embrace healthy eating with an array of recipes tailored to their specific dosha and dietary restrictions, including options for gluten-free, nut-free, and dairy-free diets. By blending the wisdom of Ayurveda with both Western and Eastern cooking techniques, Ananda offers comprehensive guidelines for healthy eating that cater to every individual’s unique needs.
