Ayurveda And Your Body Type

INTRODUCTION


 Ayurveda is one of the quickest modes to get proper fitness, as Ayurveda follows an easy direction that evolves and is suitable for one’s body kind or dosha. Ayurveda follows the idea of acknowledging the doshas so that one can heal oneself.


There are three types of ayurvedic doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Every form of dosha has an entirely unique set of traits. These doshas rely upon one’s body type, which mainly includes physical and emotional attributes. To keep correct fitness and state of mind, it is essential to understand your dosha to practice a suitable diet accordingly. 


 

THE THREE AYURVEDIC DOSHAS


The three essential doshas are wind or  Vata, fire or Pitta, and water or Kapha. All of us were brought into the world with all the three doshas, yet they meet up diversely in every single one of us. It is a special and unique blend that makes us what we are or what our identity is. Essentially, every individual has one essential type of doshas that makes up their own consistency. 


 

THE VATA DOSHA


Vata means wind. Vata is liable for body movement, blood circulation, and nervous and immune systems regulation. When your Vata is out of control, it has a thin body and dry skin, cold hands, and poor blood circulation.


 

HOW TO BALANCE YOUR VATA


One can balance their vata simply by bringing up stability and warmth and a proper diet in their life. A simple diet and good sleep can cure the problems of Vata. The simple diet of Vata includes warm drinks like milk and soups and fresh raw nuts and herbal tea, and sweet fruits. It is good to avoid cold food and drinks and mainly caffeine content beverages.


 

THE PITTA DOSHA


Pitta dosha means fire. It primarily controls hormone level, heartbeat, body temperature, and skin quality. It is also accountable for healthy digestion and liver function. The people with presiding pitta dosha tend to have medium height and weight with charmness, and they are also good at administrating and also a good speaker. If Pitta is out of control, one can face heartburn, fever, high blood pressure, and skin rashes. One can also suffer from frustration and irritation, and anger issues.


 

HOW TO CONTROL PITTA DOSHA


Herbal teas, refreshing foods, mostly vegetarian food, and milk can take control over pitta dosha. One must try refreshing iced latte or chilled milk or ice creams. But alcohol, hot spicy food, hot drinks, and pickles should be avoided. 


 

THE KAPHA DOSHA


Kapha means water. It keeps the body moist and also maintains the structure of the body. It basically resides within the stomach. However, it also supervises the throat, chest, lymph, pancreas, and head.


Excessive Kapha can lead to diabetes, heart problems, and high cholesterol with obesity.
