The view of Ayurveda has always been based on a vision of wholeness and not one of segment. Ayurvedic diet is all about eat according to your basic
nature(prakruti), seasons, digestion, time, six taste, potency, place, cooking.
Ayurvedic dietetics also emphasis on Hita(beneficial), Ahita(harmful) food etc. for each individual. Ayurveda described a wide range of dietetics and nutrition including the incompatible diets, discipline of food intake like Ashta Ahara Vidhi Visheshayaytan(eight principles of food) and Dvadasha Asana Vidhi( 12-fold of food considerations).
Thus, Ayurveda has entirely different approach to food, diet, and nutrition that is in strong contrast to the conventional Western approach.
Each food article either has Dosha aggravating or pacifying or balancing action on human body. To restore the balance of Doshas which got disturbed due to various factors like season, age etc.
