Dosha Diets (Part 2 – Pitta)

Generally speaking, it is important for all doshas to allow time for each meal. To sit at a table, chew food thoroughly, and relax to allow for good digestion.

While this is obviously not typical of the American lifestyle, the more you can do to achieve this, the better off you’ll be.

Pitta doshas: here are some guidelines to get you started. Keep in mind, however, that for a true evaluation of what is good for you as an individual, you should see an Ayurvedic practitioner.

• Eat juicy fruits, as they tend to “calm the fire” of Pittas.       

• Use Ghee to cook with, as it is cooling to pitta doshas       

• Stay away from really spicey foods       

• Drink “smoothie” type drinks, such as milkshakes, fruit smoothies and mango lassi’s       

• Eat your foods cool, but not cold. Let very hot foods cool before eating       

• Eat healthy fats in moderations.

Dairy: Milk, ghee, goat’s milk, ice cream and soy milk

Oils: Ghee, sesame seed oil and vegetable oils

Drinks: Mineral water

Meats: Chicken, duck, goose, lamb, turkey and venison

Again, this is just a loose description of what you should eat. Each person will be different and unique. But it will give you a place to start.

To your health
