The origin of the word 'Ayur' is Sanskrit and it means 'long life'. Veda of course means Science. So Ayurveda is the science of longevity.
Ayurveda recommends including all six tastes in our meals. The six tastes are - salt, sour, sweet, bitter, pungent and astringent. Also, the elemental energies need to be in balance for health. They are air & space, fire & water, and water & earth; which act as regulating principles. If they are not in balance the body becomes unhealthy.
