Ayurvedic diet basics: eating for your constitution

Ayurveda treats food as the first medicine. The same meal can heal one person and imbalance another, because digestion strength and constitution differ.

Before food lists, Ayurveda fixes food habits: eat only when hungry, make lunch the largest meal, avoid ice-cold drinks with meals, and keep a gap of three hours before sleep.

Vata-dominant people do best with warm, moist, grounding meals and regular timing. Pitta-dominant people need cooling, less spicy food and should avoid skipping meals. Kapha-dominant people benefit from light, warm, well-spiced food and an occasional supervised fast.

A personalised diet chart from an Ayurvedic doctor maps this to your exact condition. You can book a personalised diet plan consultation directly on Sehat Planet.
