Zrii NutriiVeda Program
A 12-week program for mind-body transformation.
BACKGROUND
Zrii, the Ayurvedic nutritional beverage with the stamp of approval from Deepak Chopra, has also created the NutriiVeda program, which promises to improve digestion, cleanse the tissues, lighten the body, create clarity in the mind, and revitalize your energetic core.
Over the course of three distinct phases, which span 12 weeks, the NutriiVeda program helps bring greater awareness to your dietary and lifestyle choices in order to better your overall health and well-being.
The first phase, Incorporation and Detoxification, lasts for two weeks and involves a gradual undoing of lifelong dietary and lifestyle habits that work against health rather than promote it.
The second phase, Creating Balance, builds upon the first phase and places more of an emphasis on eating according to your dosha, an Ayurvedic term for your constitution. The program includes a questionnaire to help you determine your doshic make-up. The Creating Balance phase lasts until you reach your weight loss goal.
The third and final phase, the Maintaining the Lifestyle phase, is intended to be carried onward in order to sustain the improvements you have made in your health during the first two phases and continue to work towards a balanced life.
Each phase includes adhering to the five key principles to body transformation: The regular consumption of the NutriiVeda shake, a special kind of shake comprised of Indian herbs that promote digestion and overall wellness, dietary guidelines, exercise guidelines, mind-body practices,wellness journaling and self-reflection.

DIET and NUTRITION
The NutriiVeda program is built upon the principles of Ayurveda, which suggests a specific diet based upon the individual's dosha make-up or constitution. The three doshas, vata, pitta and kapha correspond to the elements of the universe and while each person has three doshas operating within them, one dosha is more dominant than the other two.
Once you have determined your dosha, you will follow the NutriiVeda diet and exercise plan that corresponds to balancing your primary dosha.
Overall, the NutriiVeda program recommends a whole-foods diet filled with fresh vegetables, fruits, whole-grains, and a NutriiVeda shake. Sugar, processed foods, refined flours, trans fats, caffeine and alcohol should be avoided, particularly during the first two phases of the program.
Here is a sample day from the NutriiVeda program: Begin the day with a glass of warm water with lemon juice. For breakfast, a dosha-approved warm grain cereal with soy milk and honey. For lunch, cooked lentils, brown rice and stir-fried vegetables. For dinner, seasonal vegetables cooked with dosha-approved spices and grilled tofu. Snacks should be NutriiVeda shakes, raw nuts or fruit.
EXERCISE
You are encouraged to engage in cardiovascular exercise like brisk walking or jogging, at least 15 minutes a day, five days a week and work your way up to 20 or 30 minutes as you progress through the phases. Morning yoga stretches, deep breathing exercises and meditation should also be done every day.
CONCLUSION
The NutriiVeda program is an extension of the Ayurvedic nutritional beverage Zrii, which has been endorsed by Deepak Chopra. This 12-week program, divided among three phases, is meant to help you lose weight and improve your overall wellness. With five clear principles to follow in each phase and a guide for how to work with your dosha or constitution, the NutriiVeda program is a healthy, mindful and gradual approach to introducing yourself into Ayurveda, the ancient system of health and healing.
