According to Ayurveda, diabetes is a metabolic kapha type of disorder in which diminished functioning of agni leads to a tendency toward high blood sugar. (Ayurveda recognizes 24 forms of the disease commonly classified under Prameha - 4 are due to Vata dosha, 6 are due to Pitta dosha, and 10 are caused by Kapha dosha. The main causes of these diseases are fat, urine, and Kapha buildups due to foods, liquids, lifestyle and others.)

In Ayurveda we recognize that the mind is mirror-like in nature wherein are reflected the objects seen by the physical eyes, heard by the physical ears, tasted by the physical tongue, and so on. But even more fantastical than the most imaginative fairy tale, the images reflected in the mirror of our minds take on a life of their own! So, within our minds there evolves an imagined worlda world of images of things seen, heard, tasted, smelled and touched. A world which compares and contrasts images, remembers them, forms ideas around them. Quickly, there arise desires, aversions, ambitions, envy, hatred, attractions, plans, theories, and an entire imagined universe. Here are six different ways to keep yourself happy, and help you to sharp your memory.
